I'm curious if anyone has noticed an improvement in their phones?
My phone is an older version that (to be honest) may not be capable of utilizing 5G (don't know and really don't care) but for those who do have and use the newer phones, did it make a huge difference?
I believe that 5G may have been already been rolled out in some parts of the country. I have an iPhone 12 Pro and it has indicated 5G signal prior to today.
It has been on some places for a while already (since the end of 2019 I think). Recently added many more places, except within 2 miles of certain airports, I believe is what was reported.

OK but, is there or was there a noticeable difference?

You see a "tower" of X but likely not owned by your carrier. ("tower" can be a tower or building or whatever w/ cell antennas.)
ATT Verizon and T-Mobil "tower" look same to most people but doesn't play w/ you phone from one carrier (called MNO, mobile network operator) or from sub-carriers (called MVNO, mobile virtual network operator) using them. Boost and more are MVNO using one or more of those networks.
That on top of whatever problems w/ your phone, add on crap, building construction, and more that can kill signal power in, out, or both.
