Apple could integrate own cellular modem into Mac computers

[Jan]

Future Macs could have built-in cellular connectivity

Apple's push to develop more processors in-house could see it manufacture a system-on-a-chip (SoC) that integrates an in-house modem, which would eventually see the launch of Macs with built-in cellular connectivity.

This is according to Bloomberg's Mark Gurman, who says Apple will need at least two to three more years before the chip is put in a MacBook.

Ah man, if there was only a way to connect a laptop to a phone to give it internet...

But a what cost...? iPad cellular models already cost almost R4000 more than the wifi-only models...

Complaining about cost if you are in the cult of Apple is like... Complaining about the sand and water at the beach.

You already sold your soul, what is a couple of bucks going to make a difference?

The bitter sweet swan song of poverty.
