I’ve long wanted a MacBook Pro with built-in cellular; looks like I might get my wish after all — in a couple of years.
Earlier today, Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman reported on Apple’s alleged three-year plan to built and ship its own modems. In a follow-up report (which you’ll need a subscription to read), he says Apple is exploring Macs and headsets with built-in cellular data.
In other words, we could see Mac laptops and future iterations of the Vision Pro that could use cellular data without being tethered to an iPhone. However, Gurman says if this happens, it won’t be until 2026.
This would be a major step for Apple as it’s yet to introduce any sort of cellular capability for its Mac laptop line. Various iPad models have various cellar options, so why not Mac laptops with built-in 5G?
