I'm on the X...and didn't upgrade to the 10s. I'm looking real hard at the 11 Pro. The 11 is a no brainer upgrade for my wife and kids who are still rocking 6s's.
If I were buying Android....I would NOT be buying a 5g phone. Too pricey, typical first gen battery issues. And, well, Android.
I may or may not upgrade this year but i'm not one bit concerned about 5g.

Yea, different strokes for different folks. The biggest thing that drives my upgrades has been on device storage. That became good enough for me when it hit 256 GB with the iPhone 8 plus. When I do decide to upgrade, I will likely get the 512 GB model. I am thinking about getting the 1TB big iPad Pro, but that's more of a whim than anything else.
I do use my iPhone camera, but mostly because the camera one has on them is better than the camera they don't. If I plan to take pictures, I carry my digital camera.
As far as 4G verses 5G, with LTE, I currently get 55 Mbps download speed and 160 Mbps download speed with WiFi. Yea, that's more than good enough for streaming just about anything I want to stream. I do agree that 5G is going to be mostly a urban thing for a number of years, but then again, I live in an urban area. It's not going to be just super high rise apartments and condos, but it is going to be a lot like the 1 GB data speed in that it's going to be built out slowly.
The slow speed of the build out in urban areas is more working the bugs out and a chicken and egg thing, i.e. you need 5G devices to justify building the network, but need the network to get manufacturers to put out 5G devices. Up until this year, 5G was purely used to provide home internet without pulling wire, with no real advantage for the consumers.
