Ok.. I searched the forums for an answer to this but seems like I a more confused than ever....
I'm going to order from Apple, but have to choose (actually for both me and my wife) whether to get the SIM free, which I would usually prefer, or the T-mobile. I like the SIM-free because I don't need an extra T-Mobile SIM (would be a waste) since I just transfer my current SIM to the new phone... BUT....
Now I'm reading on here that maybe my SIM won't work for 5G? Is this true? Again, I have a 6S+ and wife has SE (first gen).
So.... Do I get the T-mobile versions for both because I *NEED* the new SIM for 5G? or will my old ones work just fine....
Second Question: since the T-Mobile version of the iPhone 12 mini is $30 less, why *WOULDN'T* I get this instead? Isn't the only difference that one has a T-Mobile SIM installed and one does not?
