That wasn't my idea of plain English
The one point made that I caught was that the i12 phones would probably handle LTE better. If we can believe the T-mo coverage map, South Carolina has 5G all over. My router says 5G is present. And the SE shows full strength signal.
There are 5G disclaimers on the T-Mo web site about availability and equipment versions. Maybe the two lower priced i12s will have different or limited variety of 5G. I really don't think I care, I am happy I have coverage.
