same here and I don't live in a remotely rural area... Tmobiles coverage map sure makes the area look blanketed in their top speeds

Apple Joins Industry Group Working Towards 6G

New standards take years to develop, and more years to implement. Starting on 6G doesn't mean not moving forward with 5G including 5G mmWave. It means that they are starting to work on the standards for what will eventually replace.
How about we keep investing in future technology so it can be ready, otherwise we’d still be on 3g until we got it right. Just a thought
Comments heard at friends and relatives’ houses in 2019/2020:
1.Sorry, we don’t get a good signal in this part of the house, you have to go upstairs or outside.
2.Sorry, not a very good signal around our property, try walking around the neighborhood.
3.Sorry about the signal, must be [Verizon, TMo, AT&T’s] fault, not a tower nearby. Try our Wifi.
I’ve seen this on the west coast, the east coast, the north, the south, and in urban and suburban areas. We have a long way to go.

Won't be fixed anytime soon...if ever, there's little to no money to be made, the only thing to persuade the providers is to force them to do so by law.
You are already able to watch TV on an iPhone or androids if you purchase the right gear.
Free except for the bandwidth/dataplan/internet subscription.
Based on some made up rumors, 10G is going to be the one to wait for.
You should get around 10Gig speed to your iPhone 38SE and iPhone 10G Pro and Pro Ultra-Max devices. But, battery life will still be around a day with this first generation of 10G devices.

I'm not even sure what mmWave fully available will even look like. This isn't going to be for anything other than extremely dense cities, it is completely useless for anyone outside of cities. Mid band spectrum is far more useful for us way out here.
6G? For F's sakes! They shouldn't even be imagining 6G until they make 5G a reality. Come on..............
Given American data plans, many of us can't justify paying for a lot of LTE data, let alone 5G since neither are truly unlimited here. Why would anyone be excited about 6G?
If mmWave is anything to go by, 6G will require a base station in every room, and don't put a piece of paper over your phone or you will lose service.
I am glad that they do it. We should not wait for others to do what we can do and they cry because it is not what we want or because we don't own it.
