Nihayet beklenen hamle Apple’dan geldi. Apple, MacBook’ları şirket içi hücresel modemlerle donatmayı planlıyor. Aslında bu sır değil. Şirket uzun zamandır bu konu üzerine çalışıyordu. Apple en erken 2028’de piyasaya süreceği hücresel MacBook modellerinde kendi özel modemini oluşturacak. Bu sayede piyasaya çıkacak sim kart içeren MacBook’larda 5G hızını deneyimleyebileceksiniz. İşte detaylar…
5G speed is postponed to 2028! MacBooks with Apple’s own modem integrated are coming!
Apple has been working on its own modem since 2018. In this way, it is trying to move away from the Qualcomm component used in iPhones. Although the company continues its work at full speed, it has postponed the launch date of this modem several times. The work bears fruit.
Apple’s new modem is expected to be ready around 2026. However, 2026 is an early date for us to meet this chip in Apple’s devices. We will easily observe these new chips in products that will be released at later dates.
Undoubtedly, one of Apple’s specific technology goals is to integrate its own modem SoC into the system-on-chip. Once the integration is complete, the company will likely need another two or three years to embed this chip into cellular versions of the Apple Watch and iPad, as well as the Mac. Once this goal is achieved, MacBooks with built-in cellular connectivity will be released. Then you will be able to enjoy internet at 5G speed.
Apple has explored the possibility of developing MacBooks with cellular connectivity in the past. In fact, the company considered releasing a MacBook Air with 3G connectivity. However, some problems arose in time. Additionally, former CEO Steve Jobs opposed this innovation in 2008. He gave the justification that Apple would take up too much space in this case. Now, with the advancement of technology, Apple engineers have discovered different methods. The company plans to radically solve this problem with an integrated SoC.
Apple also has other ongoing internal projects. Some of these projects include camera sensors, batteries, a unified Wi-fi, Bluetooth chip that will eventually replace Broadcom’s parts, and Micro-LED displays for Apple devices.
