Is that a screenshot from iPhone where it says "5G"? I thought no iPhones supported 5G at all yet. What's going on?

It's a marketing ploy by AT&T to label some kind of slightly better (maybe?) 4G as 5G, kinda like when phones started to say 4G which didn't mean 4G LTE.

AFAIK this is deceptive marketing from AT&T:

It's not really 5G; just an AT&T marketing gimmick.
