They've done this with every new generation, I'm shocked that they aren't already advertising 6G

Oh, did you forget about the time LTE started rolling out and telcos decided to call HSPA+ (3.5G) 4G? One of these scumbags will start calling it 6G. Marketing teams are full of great ideas. /s

Technically speaking the first LTE specification didn't meet 4G requirements either, so for a short while you could get two different fake 4Gs.

Over a decade ago and this crap still feels like yesterday.
