I think that's the future Apple sees and I agree with it. WiFi is an outdated technology with security flaws. Cellular is encrypted and maintained centrally. For indoor access all you need is an AP repeater and daisy chain that, unlike Wifi which needs to be configured, goes down, etc.
Wifi is in the same boat as the 3.5mm headphone jack

- WhoAmThing 3y agoExcellent in what context? Cellular does more or less what WiFi does, but better. Connections are encrypted and centralized without a local network, less risk of security flaws and hacks, your security is not subject to the firmware and setup of the wifi router you are currently on. I easily see this being a thing at some point where we discuss WiFi like its the fax machine. There's absolutely no need for WiFi if you have cellular + internet, it does everything better with less cost and maintenance. Makes no sense to have two chips doing the exact same thing on space-premium hardware such as iPhone
