Pros and cons of VPNs on iPhone and iPads

Is this a good idea or is it unnecessary? I’m reading that it’ll dramatically reduce speed when I’m browsing online

I've never used one and have little to no knowledge and am only replying because I just read the following NBC News article https://www.nbcnews.com/tech/security/still-paying-antivirus-software-experts-say-probably-dont-need-rcna6335 which had a short comment on VPNs and a link to the following https://www.techdirt.com/articles/20211004/07084447693/most-people-probably-dont-need-vpn-experts-now-advise.shtml which may be of interest.
