5G is notoriously known for smaller coverage area than LTE, it made IOT impossible instead of possible.

The main issue with IOT is not coverage but the massive number of connected devices. 5G is designed to support this.

4G might have a larger coverage per cell, but if it isn't able to handle all the devices trying to connect then that means nothing at all.

5G can have comparable coverage, by the way.

I believe the 5G standard also includes a low-band protocol as well, which to my understanding is strictly superior to 4G.
