Apple is currently developing their own cellular modem chips. The expectation is that once they have their own chips, they will use them in most of their products, including the laptops. They supposedly had a setback this year and the program is delayed by another year or so.

I think this will come when they have in house 5G chip, which they’re working on since they bought Intels department. They’re currently relying on Qulacom on the iPhone/iPad

It's clearly on their mind, there was a prototype macbook from 2012 or so that had a 3G modem built into it.
