Honest question, why do you care enough for wifi 7 that you're willing to spend extra on it?

Hmm, since everything I use is in the cloud, internet speed impacts my entire digital expirience, right? I feel like im missing something.
I get that, but the bump from WiFi 3 to 4 to 5 etc (on my phone) hasn't really been a noticeable bump in speed compared to mobile data (grps > edge > 3g etc) also guess the speed from the provider to the router plays a big part (if you pay for 20mbps having a phone with wifi 7 isn't gonna give you an increased speed either I guess). But I'm no expert so am genuinely curious if WiFi 7 is a bigger deal then previous iterations or maybe this one has a specific use case that 6 doesn't have (like new Bluetooth got low power mode for example)
Well, my new home internet is much faster than that. But it's too soon to tell if it make a diffrence, becouse my devices need to catch up. Hance the question :)
Well makes sense, I also looked it up online out of curiosity and seems like WiFi 7 isn't that new anymore so if you have a router at home that supports it, makes sense to get a device that supports it too
Maybe. Or mayve its an overkill and mosr of the lags I expirience is due to shortag of other things like RAM or processing power and my prevuous bandwith was perfectly fine for my casual needs. Who can tell?
Get a refurbished pixel 8
I feel like im missing someething. Since basicly all I use is cloud based, internet speed affects all my digital expirences, right?
