I’ve adopted two 5g iPhones, but not sure I’ve ever been on a 5g network even in rare trip to big city. 

I live in England, one of the most backwards countries in Europe, and here we have 5G everywhere. It is as fast as my home broadband at around 250 Mbps (not now, because it's raining). I think I do notice when I am in a 4G environment (I don't know what LTE is), but it could be my imagination; but 5G makes working over the iPhone hotspot really flawless so I don't have to use public WiFi, and when my broadband is down, which it happens often because I use Virgin, I can also watch a 4K movie over the hotspot. I think there are benefits.

To be fair, none of the Apple TV shows is a must-see. They play it too safe, no comparison to HBO, BBC, or even Amazon. Even the Morning Show started strong and has turned into a soap opera. 

Amazon? Yeah no, they’re the worst of the streaming networks. If it weren’t forced as a bundle on my Prime I sure as heck wouldn’t pay for it. 

“A” shows for me on Apple TV:

Severance

For All Mankind

Slow Horses

Ted Lasso

Losing Alice

Mythic Quest

I don't agree with these. But due to Slow Horses, Severance, and Silo, I retract my post. (I wish I could delete, but I cannot).

I still don't understand why Tesla is considered a Technology Leader in the car industry. Virtually every other electric car may not have Netflix and a Fart noise, but has
- CarPlay
- ability to chose between one-pedal-driving and using the brakes for regen, instead of having to have one-peel driving permanently engaged
- a SatNav worth the name - Tesla is a map view with written instructions, and sometimes the two don't even match
- a suspension
- adaptive cruise control sans the phantom braking
- Car Play (again, because it really is that important)
 - matrix lighting
