In addition to keeping transportation in mind Compatibility of cellular connectivity chip Apple Vision Pro that Cupertino residents want take it to Mac for the first time. This makes sense, as the number of computers capable of connecting other than Wi-Fi is very limited in the global market. The information comes from Mark Gurman, thanks to his weekly newsletter “Power On”. Other products that will eventually have this feature will be the iPhone and iPad..

Apple’s cellular connection will be 5G and will reach Macs in 2026

Apple has already shown us that it no longer wants to be dependent on any competing manufacturer. One of them is Qualcomm, they are currently competing to have the most powerful chip in the world. Qualcomm is the company providing chips for 5G connectivity in your existing devices.

Mac would be perfect for working in an external environment with a 5G chip

Cupertinos want to launch their own chips in the iPhone SE 4 starting in 2025Moreover, we will do this later on the iPhone 17 Air and a basic iPad model. This is intended to act as a quality meter. so that They could offer improved compatibility with faster connectivity in 2026 It will do so with the iPhone 18 Pro and perhaps in the future with the Apple Vision Pro.

On the other hand, Research on the implementation of cellular connectivity is also abundant for the Mac.. In this situation, It will arrive with the iPhone 18 Pro by 2026 thus it has a second generation chip. In the history of Apple products, cellular connectivity is limited to the iPhone, iPad, and Apple Watch.

SIM or eSIM connection?

The iPhone 17 Air has raised a rather interesting question due to prototypes showing results regarding the thickness of the device. Will Apple dare to remove the physical SIM tray from these iPhones? This makes us think Macs may also have eSIM compatibility so laptops, at least outside the United States, don’t have a physical tray like other iPhones and iPads. Let’s remember that starting from the iPhone 14, Apple decided to remove the physical SIM tray to give all priority to eSIM.

The days of the iPhone SIM card are numbered, eSIM is the future

It makes sense that Macs accept eSIM, From the beginning, the Apple Watch offered this type of connectivity due to the size of the watch’s case.. Even though the Mac is larger, Apple will still have plenty of space to accommodate the tray, although it’s not the best in terms of aesthetics and design.

The same approach can be applied when thinking about Apple Vision Pro.. According to Gurman, the technology is not expected to reach this product segment so soon, as it is intended to be “used in lightweight augmented reality glasses.” Cupertinos still have issues with the launch of a more affordable model; Cellular connectivity with the Vision Pro will not be immediate on the Mac.
