SIM Cards for iPads: What You Should Know
While most iPad users connect to the internet via Wi-Fi, there are compelling reasons to consider an iPad with cellular capabilities. Unlike a Wi-Fi-only iPad, a cellular iPad provides convenient and stable internet access without the need to hunt for Wi-Fi hotspots.
Moreover, using your iPhone as a hotspot can drain its battery, a problem you can avoid with a cellular iPad. Additionally, having a SIM card from a different carrier on your iPad provides a backup connection when your iPhone’s network signal is weak.

Unlike traditional physical SIM cards, an eSIM is digitally embedded into the device. This allows iPad owners to switch between mobile carriers without needing a physical SIM card from each carrier.
