Yea, I’m literally on an iPhone 11 and bought it with the intention of using for this long as a minimum (I picked it because it had a good battery and seemed to be a good iPhone generation). Previously I was on a 5. Some people just need to be forced to see that not consuming like an addict is actually possible.
The 11's don't have 5g though. That's a pretty big negative since network's are dedicating less and less bandwidth to 4g.
Guessing you're in Germany, but here in the states 5g is near nonexistent if you're not in a city. I will keep my 4g phone long as it works. My breif experience with a 5g phone was awful and speeds were no where near 4g at my home
Well, just my experience. I am kind of in the sticks.
Granted I haven’t travelled as much since COViD but Verizon seems to have medium band 5g everywhere I’ve been. When I have seen it drop out, LTE is about to drop out too
