#5GE

2023-09-08

@Techmeme ..."seemingly 5G-capable...you'll see that there is no #5G indicator on the screen"... - from #TMobileUS calling #3G #hspa+ technology '4G' over a decade ago (and, consequently, acquiring the US 1st commercially available 'real' #4GLTE carrier #metropcs) to #att 's use of a '#5GE' icon when it was really 4G service since about three years ago, the US #telco knows a thing or two about 'seemingly capable indicators'...

Not sure that even Steve Jobs would have succumbed to this sham by #ATT. More than likely, he might have (*might* have) threatened giving preference to Verizon while still providing iPhones to other carriers and possibly even excluding ATT for iPhone.

Maybe.

Looks like everyone's jumping on #ATT for their #dumbass move to advertise #5G on their #4G #smartphones. As if they're such angels. 😏 #5ge #verizon

I've already heard #ATT advertising this #bullshit on the radio. Sadly, people not knowing this will believe it. #falseadvertising #5ge
