I was team WiFi+Cellular but I realized that I don’t take my iPad anywhere without WiFi. Even if I do take it, my first instinct isn’t to grab my iPad to do anything. Until Apple makes that clear separation between iOS and iPad iOS I don’t think that’s going to change. No hate to people who go with cellular, it just has to fit your lifestyle otherwise you’ll waste money like I did

@Phillip My mom's telling me to go with WiFi+Cellular for the exact same reasons as video. Problem is I hardly ever use my phone’s cellular when outside unless I or a family member, need to look something up and prefer WiFi whenever possible(hotels/homes) I’m planning to get my iPad today and I literally won’t be using my iPad for anything unless it’s to game/watch media or as an ebook reader since it’ll primarily stay at home where WiFi is always available. Still. I’m torn as now I don’t know which to get…

Also kinda was making a choice to get the i pad 9th gen or just upgrade my phone I still have the I phone 8th

[@gospelsoulman]

You are absolutely 100,000% right about cellular! Just a few days ago i tested the difference by removing the sim from my iPad mini 5 just to see how it’d pan out. I hated it, to say the least. The video streaming on mini via the hotspot from my phone was sluggish at times, it eats up the the hotspot data from the phone quickly and sucked the battery energy much faster (iPhone 12 pro max). That iPad mini fits into the pockets of my jeans and, i love it. All of my iPads have been cellular, from the first-original iPad all through the years up to these iPad Pro and this mini 5. So I definitely will be getting cellular mini 6! Thanks for the confirmation!!!!

[@tonymiller6522]

can I still use the ipad2 cellular and add data to it?

[@loficapital]

SIM card or Esim?

[@StevenEveral]

As someone who travels somewhat frequently, having a cellular iPad is super handy. 4G/5G iPads come with GPS like you mentioned, but the newer iPads also come with an eSim. I don't even need to pop out my normal SIM and put in a local one, I can just buy the data I need right from my iPad and I'm ready to go. I've used eSim on several trips to Japan and Hong Kong, it worked perfectly. Also, if you have a shared data plan, you can add your cellular iPad for a small fee and it uses the same pool of data that your phone uses. I like using my iPad as a hotspot for my laptop and I don't have to worry about the battery life as much as if I was using my hotspot from my iPhone.

[@creativechevis]

It really depends on usage. Only time I use my iPad on the go is in Coffee shops which always have Wi-fi, but I would use cellular for extra speed, no doubt.

[@mrdude2702]

One more point for cellular is security. When you are using the wifi at the coffee shop, you have no idea who else is monitoring the traffic going through that wifi hotspot. When you are using cellular, you can trust that the cellular company is probably not hacking your connection (if they are, you have way bigger problems going on). Using your phone as the hotspot helps with this issue was well, but then you have the speed limitations he talks about. Also, if you are using your phone's hotspot, make sure you sent an extremely strong password so nobody else connects.

[@chickenpasta7359]

Tethering for me sucks so I just go with my own 5G service whenever I'm going on a roadtrip. A lot of people forget you can just buy plans as you go. You don't need to commit to any plans as long as you didn't buy it from a carrier

[@marti220]

I have had a cellular ipad mini for years. It's a back-up to my phone in many ways. If my phone is dead I can text from it. If I misplace my phone I use find my iphone to find it. (surprising how often I can misplace my phone--even in the car) I believe there is a way to call from it though I have never used it that way. I've been using the smallest iphones (SE) now since they are easy to carry in a pocket, etc and I can use with one hand. They also cost less than the bigger iphones too. I keep my cellular mini for watching movies, playing games, social media, and work with students. It is so much easier to navigate than just a phone.

[@MrSuper83]

I have an Apple Watch Wifi+Cellular and with that device I feel like it’s a necessity to have cellular capabilities because it’s a watch and I will sometimes want to go places without my phone. However, when it comes to iPads, I feel like it becomes more of a conveniance factor because wherever I bring my iPad, I bring my phone, and since my phone is hooked up to an unlimited data plan, might as well make use of it. That way I save the extra $200 on the iPad upgrade itself and an extra monthly cost just to have cellular on the iPad.

[@Cookefan59]

I totally agree with you. I originally got the cellular option becasue I travel a great deal and Ive already tried to deal with being efficient and frugal by hotspotting with my phone when trying to work while out of town. VERY FRUSTRATING! The last thing I wanted was to spend extra time waiting for Hot spotting which is not always a smooth operation. WTH the iPad cellular option, it is so much smoother and easier and RELIABLE! No fumbling around with the phone, just open up the device and get to work and get it done with a quickness. So very much worth the extra $10.00 a month that was added to my already unlimited ATT plan. I wouldn’t go back to being limited for anything. I also agree with your statement that those who don’t want the extra cost probably never used cellular on their iPad BUT, it might just also be they hardly ever travel with it so their correct in not purchasing the option. But when you’re on the road a lot like myself, I can whip out that iPad even while eating at the airport or in my car or wherever whiteout needing the phone around. Great video! Thumbs up! Looking at more content.

[@ghas4151]

Having cellular on your iPad feels like a super power. Relying on my iPhone battery for tethering was such a pain!

One of the way as I imagine using cellular is if I don’t bring my phone at all. My thinking is that I’d like to have only my watch and my iPad with me for focussed work sessions out in a park overlooking the water or even at a café with my AirPods in. Being able to leave my phone at home is a huge feature for me

[@belindaoneil2420]

I'm team WiFi+Cellular. I haven't got my cellular enabled ipad 9th gen yet (It'll be here Monday) but I have a lot of devices with smaller screens. That said, I know it'll be better to go places with a full cellular device that I can see better after an eye stroke. Great review!

[@SBMC90803]

I've been using Wifi only tablet for a year thinking I could do more work outside from home and use the hotspot from my phone cause I don't wanna carry my laptop everywhere. But it is so annoying, with the signal and it's draining my phone's battery. If you're planning to use the tablet for work, using outside your home, or just daily use, I would suggest the WiFi + Cellular. It cost more but it will save you time and your phone's battery. That's why i'm here. looking for better options.

I've always had a WiFi+Cellular for years. I just sold my 2017 10.5 and ended up purchasing a 2021 12.9 512GB non-cellular from BB which was on clearance for sub $1000.00 However, I continued to search for the same size with cellular for about the same price. I lucked up and found a 256GB version of that iPad on what appears to be an Amazon special order as I'll have to wait two weeks for it to be shipped. It's probably pointless at this junction to have a Cellular version as Wi-Fi seems to be everywhere but seeing it's what I've always had and I like the security of not depending on someone else's security risk based open Wi-Fi I feel much better off having a cellular version.

both: SIM-card (nano size only) and eSIM -> all iPad Pro models as well as the iPad mini 5, iPad Air 3 and later, and iPad 7th Gen and later models also have an "Embedded" Apple SIM (eSIM).

In my opinion it’s for people who do business trips abroad or long holidays, people like that. The point you made in gps I defo didn’t think about, if you went on holiday you could download the google maps offline and not need to use any mobile network or Wi-Fi and just navigate the maps with the gps feature. I never considered gps but that’s such a good point. If you go on business trips or holidays then cellular for sure if you never do then get the Wi-Fi only. I travel once every 2-3 years and it’s nice to have.

[@RevGunn-jq3cq]

I have had the ATT unlimited data plan since 2012 on my IPad. The original data plan was $30/mo when it was discontinued I was grandfathered in at the same price, till a few years ago when it increased to $35/mo. I have used it as my cell phone for that length of time by using a voice over IP app to make and receive phone calls. The app cost $30/year for unlimited calling, domestic and international. I use a few others apps offering free disposable numbers for specific uses like shopping for cars or insurance. I my last phone was an IPhone 3 which I replace with the IPad. A pad without cell service is useless to me

[@MABACTS]

Interesting take. I thought you were gonna say it wasn't worth it. I have wifi only on my current 2018 11 inch iPad Pro, but might get cellular when I upgrade my device! Great video!

[@TwinTiger88]

thankyou for the info wifi plus cellular makes sense !

[@MrDakti]

I was using the Pro 9.7" wifi + cellular for 3 years, I used the modem and GPS only once. Currently I use Pro 10.5" wifi only and don't need cellular as I use it mostly at home with fast wifi. Now I purchased Pro 11" M1 wifi + cellular only because good offer, was cheaper than wifi only model with the same space. Because of that I'm going to install eSIM from my Orange plan (30 GB, calls, sms) also in iPad. eSIM in iPhone and extra eSIM in iPad. Honestly I don't know if I will ever use cellular on the new iPad, but since can share the same plan without additional costs in 2 devices, it doesn't hurt to set that configuration. Ps. Why cellular in Regular, Air and Mini cost 130$ and in Pro cost 200$? Is there any technical justification for that 70$ price difference?

[@honeys.9579]

I don't have any kids so I'm not too keen on the latest fads, I just think 8 is too young to have an actual phone. They do use iPad in school. I talked it over with my eldest niece that a tab w/ cell service would probably be more practical and easier for the adults to monitor or to get ahold of her while she's playing her games or face timing with friends. I checked with my service and it'll only cost $20mo to add to my line.

As a business. Having a cellular iPad is really useful. Having to sign invoices and send them right away if very important.

[@malikahardy599]

When I work for a call center I would always recommend cellular to people who truly use their ipad everywhere like me. It’s convenient when you don’t want to trust public WiFi. Avoid additional fees for hotspot using data. The phone battery draining from the hotspot and lord forbid you need to use your phone at the same time. It’s also great if you got kids and y’all on a road trip or getting on a plane. They cost more but they are worth it if you have the needs of those features. I always recommend something that fit the customer. I had people shocked with my honesty when I would tell them I wouldn’t recommend them buying something they wanted because they like the features but had no intention on using it. I don’t believe in wasting money, time, food or my frustrations on a device😂. They wasn’t calling back to cuss out nobody if I could avoid it.

[@corneliatomson1506]

The cellular ones are always more expensive than the ipads who only support wifi

[@Ukw975]

Hey video things can I use cellular data plan you from secondhand used iPad Pro

[@richardp8347]

Will maps and gps apps work on iPad when non cellular and only synced with iPhone ?

[@void911]

it won't , i have an ipad mini 6 wifi only and google maps works but its really slow , your location will lag very much and won't get accurate tracking

U're right when I buy my M1 Ipad pro I'll buy the Wi-Fi+Cellular.

[@Adroit_tales]

Is cellular iPad just for using data or we can make calls and messages with the same?

[@Papparratzi]

I'm an OG, don't let that fool ya. I'm computer literate. My nature say's start cheap and build up. That doesn't play well in the fast paced electronic industry. As mentioned, Wi Fi has limitations. No GPS, and the security risk connecting to an unknown Wi Fi hot spot. Also connecting to your phones hot spot is problematic. SimplyPops was spot on, using your phone as a hot spot is a massive battery drain. Also mobile services most likely will throttle down your speed or subject you to long router timeouts when your phone is used as a hot spot. Direct cellular enables full 5g speeds whereas hot spot speeds can be 1/10th or less of full speed. The longer the down or upload times, the faster your battery will drain on both your phone and connected device

I’m curious if you can text people who don’t have android?

[@wizerdjuice9589]

Have iPad mini 4 LTE and just got a mini 6 5G $100 USD off and a great improvement. Two T mob data lines $20 USD/month taxes and fees included

[@catherineleyva1377]

Tethering will drain the phone’s battery? Then using LTE on ipad would also drain the ipad’s battery. Just use a pocket device for wifi so you don’t ruin the ipad or iphone battery

I use a portable modem that connects my iMac, MacBook Pro and iPad to the internet. I plug the modem directly into my computer devices for the best connection. I am on team wifi using a portable plug in modem.
