Which is correct.

A Mac doesn't have a cellular connection.

It is a cellular connection that is used to send SMS messages.

An iPhone has both an cellular connection and the software to share 
that connection for the purpose of allowing you to compose messages on 
a Mac that will actually get sent to the cellular carrier via SMS.
