What am I going to HAVE TO change with 5G?

Basically what Tiangou said. You DIDN'T say WHAT iPhone you currently have. Generally speaking, an iPhone has a usable lifespan of 5 ~ 7 years (I'd say anything over 5 years is pushing it AND, you might need to pony up $$ for a new battery after year 3). As mentioned, 4G will be with us and viable for years to come. You could watch for a GREAT deal on say an iPhone 11 or 12, possibly getting your carrier to cover some/most/all of the cost of said upgrade that you'll "earn" by committing to said carrier for 12 ~ 36 months.

Regarding coverage, I have to say I have it in most areas where I spend time, which are mainly suburban Northern and Western New Jersey, Bucks County PA, and New Haven.

It's probably still 4G LTE.

They've "upgraded" service to "5G" primarily by relabeling 4G. They relabeled 3G as "4G" back in the day, too. "Instant upgrade!"

I've noticed that with my new phone. According to it, EVERYWHERE is magically 5G now. Even though it sucks just as bad as it did before. So I would think that's actually a disservice to 5G.
