Description
The iPad 7th Generation (2019) is available in two models: a Wi-Fi only version and a Wi-Fi + Cellular version. The Wi-Fi + Cellular version includes a SIM card slot and supports 4G LTE for cellular data, allowing you to stay connected to the internet on the go, without needing Wi-Fi access.
Key Features of the iPad 7th Gen (Wi-Fi + Cellular):
SIM Card Slot:
The Wi-Fi + Cellular iPad 7th Gen has a nano-SIM card slot on the side of the device, where you can insert a SIM card to connect to cellular networks.
It supports 4G LTE connectivity, allowing you to use the internet and apps even when you’re not near a Wi-Fi network.
Cellular Connectivity:
The Wi-Fi + Cellular model provides access to 4G LTE data, giving you mobile data access in areas where Wi-Fi is unavailable.
This model supports a wide range of carrier bands globally, meaning it works with most major carriers and some regional networks, depending on the country or region.
eSIM Support:
In addition to the traditional nano-SIM card slot, the iPad 7th Gen with cellular also supports eSIM (embedded SIM). With eSIM, you can activate a mobile plan without needing a physical SIM card, provided the carrier supports eSIM technology.
Data Plans:
To use cellular data, you’ll need to have an active mobile data plan from a supported carrier. This could be a postpaid plan or a prepaid plan that offers cellular data. Depending on the carrier and your region, the iPad may also support Apple’s Cellular Data Plans that can be activated directly from the iPad itself via the Settings app.
How to Identify the Wi-Fi + Cellular Model:
Model Number: The Wi-Fi + Cellular version of the iPad 7th Gen has a different model number than the Wi-Fi-only version. You can identify it by the model number listed on the back of the device or in the Settings:Wi-Fi Only Model: A2197 (for the 32GB and 128GB models)
Wi-Fi + Cellular Model: A2200 (for the 32GB and 128GB models)
Alternatively, you can also check for the SIM card tray on the side of the device, which is only present in the cellular version.
Benefits of the Cellular Model:
On-the-Go Connectivity: The Wi-Fi + Cellular model lets you use the internet anywhere with cellular coverage, making it ideal for users who need consistent connectivity while traveling, commuting, or working remotely.
GPS Functionality: The Wi-Fi + Cellular model also comes with GPS and GLONASS support, which means it can function as a more accurate navigation device when compared to the Wi-Fi-only model.
Global Roaming: With eSIM and support for a variety of carrier bands, the cellular model is well-suited for international travel, as you can easily activate a local data plan in many countries without needing to swap out your SIM card.
