The third and final part of our discussion about Apple’s “Hi, Speed” event with the panel of David Ginsburg, Mark Fuccio, Jeff Gamet, Kelly Guimont, Ken Ray, Brittany Smith, and Frederick Van Johnson touches on the cell carrier’s motivations surrounding 5G, why Verizon was on stage, the $30 difference in iPhone prices, and what you need to know if you plan to move between carriers.
