    The newest network won’t change how you use your phone—but you can
    still make the most of it

    What a weekend! After a 5G-powered robot performed surgery on my foot,
    I took a 5G-powered self-driving car to my 5G-powered house where a
    5G-powered drone delivered a guacamole-powered burrito.

    None of that happened, of course. But you know what did happen this
    past weekend? I turned off Verizon 5G on my iPhone—and barely noticed
    a difference. The 4G LTE performance and coverage felt just about the
    same.
