Who cares? It literally makes zero difference to anything. There is exactly zero use cases where maximum 5g speed is necessary when using a phone.

I agree.

I'm doing a dual-sim demo of T-Mobile 5G, alongside my LTE AT&T.

I know my Pixel 5a doesn't have mmWave 5G, and maybe T-Mobile is throttling their demo speeds, but I rarely see anything above 60-80Mbps out of it (even standing next to the tower). Pretty sure that's still inside LTE speed ranges.

And nobody in my family (kids included) actually needs anything above 10-15Mbps. I can stream max-quality CoD to Twitch or YouTube on less bandwidth than that.

Necessary when there is high congestion of users

that would limit the bandwidth available, not the bandwidth your phone is capable of using

It doesn't matter if your bucket can hold 1 gallon when there is only 1 quart available.

That’s why I’m saying 5G mid and mmwave makes a difference

If it was the other way around, Android user would use it to trash Apple users.
