While a lot of the talk around 5G is pure hype (even putting aside conspiracy theories), it really is fundamental to using a smartphone these days. Many wireless carriers have adopted it as their primary technology, and a lot of app and hardware makers are working with it in mind. I discovered this for myself, recently, by switching away from a budget 4G carrier — suddenly, my iPhone 16 Pro became a lot more responsive in apps like Google Maps. If you’re not using 5G, you probably aren’t getting the most out of your device.
