I just feel like they renamed 4G into 5G, 3G into 4G and Edge into 3G.

Planned obsolescence, do you think that Google/Apple/Samsung/etc. want you to keep your 12 year old phone? Even the current model of phone carriers are in on it because if they can get you to buy a new phone every 2 years on one of their “plans” it’s a win for both industries.
