I know it’s a broad question, but I currently have T-Mobile and the price is alright but I have an iPhone 11 and looking to get a 16 Pro Max for myself and a 16 Pro. But, T-Mobile has mentioned it will mean an increase in my plan from $89 a month, for my current 2 iPhone 11’s and 2 Apple watches, to $180 monthly for 5G.

But, I’m getting older, so less deal savvy, not to mention aware of all the current cellphone carriers or what’s a deal these days… I would appreciate if anyone here could share their thoughts or recommendations on the matter. Seeing in the past, theres a large pool of wisdom hidden in here. TIA.

All the big carriers are too expensive imo. If you're not taking advantage of the streaming bundles, not doing much international calling, and just need cell service, check out US Mobile.

Prices are great, Dark Star (AT&T) is strong 5G around me, they work with all 3 big carrier networks and allow you to jump between them. You'll have to buy a phone out right, unlocked, but save so much in the long term. I'm paying $35/m for 35GB 5G Data + Apple Companion (watch) plan.
