According to PCMag, you’ll be seeing the first big 5G applications to pop up around 2021 or 2022.

You want to create the best experience possible for your users and make sure they’re getting served with ads they actually care about. That can get tricky on mobile devices. Enter the MAID. Mobile Advertising IDs — or MAIDs, for short — are strings of digits assigned to mobile devices. Android assigns them. So does Apple. If you’re into cooking, news apps use them to float food-related content to the top of your feed. Instagram…
You’ve got data. That’s good. You know how people use your app. Or maybe you know what articles they enjoy on your website. Or the levels in your online game they like playing the most. But now you want to do more with that data. Maybe you’re Instagram, and want to increase engagement on live video.
