Apple has big plans for its rumored custom modems. Along with using them in iPhones and iPads, Apple also plans on putting the chip inside Macs and maybe even future versions of the Vision Pro, according to a report from Bloomberg.
Macs with cellular connectivity reportedly won’t arrive before 2026, which is when Bloomberg expects Apple to launch its more advanced, second-generation custom modem. Apple may also add the 5G chip to a pair of augmented reality glasses that Bloomberg says is “years away.” In addition to the iPhone, the company already sells iPads and Apple Watches with cellular connectivity.
Rumors suggest that Apple will debut its custom modem in the iPhone SE next year, followed by entry-level iPads and an iPhone that’s 2mm thinner than the iPhone 16 Pro, Bloomberg reports. Apple is also expected to bring its second-generation modem to high-end iPhones and iPads over three years as it phases out the use of Qualcomm’s modems.
