My sinuses are generally a pain, with meditation and breath control exercises I focus on breathing in with my mouth and my nose at the same time. I still find it more beneficial than just mouth breathing and usually I can start to take deeper breaths in through my nose further on in the session.

A lot of US carriers provide the OS updates with branding and junkware rather than the device manufacturer.

Also for others concerned about privacy, your carrier can push applets onto the SIM card itself which can do a lot. Malicious actors in the past have exploited devices via applets such as Simjacker and WIBattack

I think the term is more use cases rather than value added services.

Parts of the 5GC specifications such as URLLC (Ultra-Reliable Low-Latency Communication) allow for far more safety critical solutions to be back-hauled over a mobile network. Autonomous driving, critical industrial control systems and remote surgery solutions are some I've seen.

Even standalone 5G networks are now specified, they use unlicensed spectrum and give you the freedom to not even include a carrier in the equation at all.

Yes and the cost models are being driven down even more by Cat-M and NB-IoT.

I've been working in the IoT space for some time and there's now a real shift into these technologies for large scale telemetry deployments like you described. The shutdown of 2G networks across the world have ruled out a lot of the cheaper modems.

There are other benefits, such as enabling a larger set of solutions to be battery powered and for an increased lifespan.

High density, sparse traffic solutions like you described are often termed as mMTC (Massive Machine Type Communications). The main benefits to 5G in these regards focus on the mobile network and their ability to manage a higher volume of subscribers and therefore lower their costs to the end customer.
