It's going to be interesting to see how this develops. Will they include their eventual cellular chip on their SoC? Will they then include that in Apple Silicon Macs (highly doubt this one, as nice as a cellular-enabled MacBook would be)?
I'm expecting some decent improvements in efficiency, both in power usage and data transfer, whenever they get this spun up.
- Infinitesimus 6y agoI think they will include the chips across the entire lineup. Apple's strategy looks a bit like "what is the simplest experience for a the user" (with caveats of course) and one of those things is never having to look for connectivity when you're mobile. Not having to ask "what's your WiFi password?" again will be huge and people will trust Apple more than Google/MS with an always-connected system. Crazy future talk but you can imagine an "Apple Air" or a name like that which is a mesh network provided by Apple devices with partnerships from various ISPs and network providers. It will both provide a simple experience for their users and increase pressure to adopt their products in most urban areas. The world of eSIMs abstracts cell providers away from users since like Google Fi, apple will switch you to whatever is strongest on your area.
