If they do they become the undisputed king of portability.
It baffles me why Apple didn’t push more proactively sharing cellular over their devices, but it always seemed that it was because of cellular models or cellular companies pressure.
I’m still waiting for the moment you can use cellular as a WiFi backup in a laptop without having to push a button.
Patents and a quagmire of legal hurdles. They have long complained about Qualcomms pricing structure. A company like that has a lock on the industry even Apple can’t fully circumvent without significant costs.
It’s sort of the last piece in the puzzle. Once they get their modems, they become a fully unified system.
You talk about boosting network stability? That’s just the start when you control all the airwaves.
Could you elaborate on your last sentence?
