Okay dead quick...

When 5g was originally created the owner of the company sold the source code to china, giving the Chinese government back door access to any device on a 5g network.

Trump (the president at the time) found this out and banned this tech, then recreated 5g tech, which was not true 5g. (but waayyy faster than 4g)

So the 5g thats rolling out is a most definitely a high speed internet, but not providing the original speeds 5g was truly supposed to provide.

I’m going to go out on a whim here any say that 6g is actually the original Chinese 5g but rebranded as 6G.

Where in the heck did you dig this up? Please don’t tell me you believe that?
 
On my iPhone 12 Pro with T-Mobile, I get average 5G speeds down: >220 MBPS and up: >18 MBPS. The upload speeds were the same as LTE, but download speeds are twice as fast as LTE. From a practical point of view, it is an incremental improvement.
 
You would need to pack a 1 sq meter antenna on your head and a battery backpack on your back for that to work.
Yes it starts always big, first mobile phone's also where enormous.
But I'm sure that in the time it takes to bring 6G to the market, Starlink also fits in a smartphone!
