Essentially everything in my home and office is an Apple product, but it is rather surreal that this isn't already a baked-in option on Apple laptops in the year of our lord 2023. I think an employer first handed me a mobile plug-in card for my laptop in about 2007, which worked surprisingly really well given the technology of that long-ago era. Given that this is a company that is one of the dominant players in phones and that they long ago put the same technology in iPads, it just seems like a huge oversight.
- lotsofpulp 3y agoIt is not an oversight, it is a hard technical problem if they want to avoid paying Qualcomm. Which is not worth the cost right now because most people have wifi or phones they can tether to. Maybe in 10 or 15 years when Qualcomm patents expire, it will be cheap enough to add as a feature.
