I mean most of the time it’s not necessary but it is convenient, allows us to have full HD FaceTime calls, 4k movie streaming benefits from it, apps download or load in seconds, no hiccups on music like I used to have all the time driving around on LTE.. it’s just better. Course you gotta think of the future too, as tech progresses and apps and content demand more speed, its future proof for a long time. We have unlimited plans for 20-30 bucks too but you have a data cap. We also have the Ultra Wide Band on our iPhones, we have the little glass oval on the right side of our iPhones where most other countries don’t. You guys have normal Sub 6Ghz 5G, which is still good but barely noticeable difference compared to 4G/ LTE. It’s meant to go longer distances and through objects like LTE does. Ultra Wide Band connection here is why it’s a bit pricier, the cost has to come from somewhere for such high data speeds ya know? And the pretty fast development of 5G here once it launched also cost carriers a pretty penny. I’m sure as we get further along with 5G prices will fall some.
