DONT GET ON THIS EARTH WHY PPL NEVER TALK ABOUT THE FACT THAT SOMSONE MIGHT USE A TABLRT JUST LIKE A PHONE??? WHY PHONES?? I DONT WANT A PHONE.. I WANT A TABLERT PERIOD TO REPLACE MY PHONE SO I CAN USE A TABLET LIKE A PHONE. BUT NOBODY EVER TALKS ABOUT THAT... WHY?
When you are broke af and you can't buy either but still watching this video for your imaginary satisfaction.
Lol , that’s me your talking about my imagination 🤣
hey guys, wanna be friends??
Sure
Actually I was looking for Wifi vs cellular for Android tablet.. Didn't find any video so ended up watching this one..😂😂 Points cleared though
Lol well u can always go to Walmart and get a refurbished one I did and bypassed the high price I only paid 125 and it works great
I want a cellular one for two reasons. The first reason is so that I don’t have to connect to random WiFi which can pose a safety issue. I have to travel a lot and I won’t have a WiFi connection. Using my phones hot spot would drain my phones battery. I need my phone to stay charged independently from my iPad. If I have to pay extra for hot spot data... then I might as well have it on my iPad and not my phone when I don’t use my phone for the same things. Also- having the cellular as an option means if you find you’re using only WiFi... you can stop paying for cellular, and only pay when you actually need it. My husband is in the Army and we end up in many situations without WiFi. So for traveling having the cellular option is extremely useful.
Mrs. Serendipitous my question is how do it work with your carrier if it has cellular?
Vpn
Yes
drain your battery? come on man
Rafa RS lol apple eh
My wife has a iPad Pro WiFi only and I have a iPad Pro WiFi/cellular and we are always taking mine on the go while her just collects dust on her desk. We mainly use it for the kids when we drive so they can watch their digital movies and TH-cam so we can have peace and quite
When ur using this iPad u will most of the time be in ur home or office , coffee shop etc that all have free wifi , and in the few occasions ur in a place without it u can just hotspot and itll get u through those few moments where theres no wifi without having to pay extra for the cellular version as well as adding another data line to ur plan , No Thanks!
I only have 3gb of LTE data in my hotspot and then 3G speeds which are shit
@Alexe L. I asked Apple and they said you could do that. Can anyone else verify?
It’s like 5 to 10 dollars more…
Can we make phone calls from cellular iPad?
@@69Solo no you can't.
Chris, you are so spot on with so much of what you’ve said here. I’m someone who always buys cellular on my iPad. My job requires 80-100% travel on a monthly basis. In fact, I once went 8 months without ever seeing my work office. When I’m on the road for work, I typically stay in Hilton or Marriott hotels. They have terrible WiFi. If you don’t pay for the upgraded WiFi, you typically get download speeds of 3-5 megs. (Not usable, IMO) And even if you do pay for the “enhanced” WiFi, you typically still get less than 10 megs down. My cellular provider typically serves up 60-80 megs download speeds in large metropolitan areas, where I am most of the time. So my cellular connection on my iPad is zippy, often more so than whatever WiFi is available. And I’ll give you one more reason to get cellular on your tablets. I recently found out that my cellular provider doesn’t throttle them. If I go over 50 GBs in a month on my phone, they throttle me (I have “unlimited” data). But they don’t throttle tablets the same way. I learned this just recently by accident in a conversation with a rep from my provider about a completely unrelated issue. So, word to the wise... by cellular tablets. They’re totally worth it!
Bradley...Thank you so much, I just bought a Lenovo tab4 8 Plus, was wondering should I get WiFi, or cellular.
Hello mrs tree
Who is your carrier?
Why not just teather from your phone?
I really get the pros of going cellular but after debating this matter for an unhealthy amount of time I decided I will stick with the 2021 11” iPad Pro Wi-Fi. I have more data that I can use on my iPhone and with Instant Hotspot when there’s no Wi-Fi the iPad just asks you “do you want to connect to iPhone?….Yes please. I personally always downloaded tv shows and movies ahead of a trip and regardless I wouldn’t do anything too data intensive over cellular anyway, since even unlimited plans have hidden limits… if I really am in a rush to do something on my iPad I just tether for the amount of time to complete the task. I’m sure for many the Wi-Fi is ideal and you save money on the long run! Plus the iPhone 11 battery is a champ even while tethering.
Do you think the 64 gb model (Wi-Fi) with cloud will work well enough with the Mini 6 to do photo and 4K video editing?
The best explicit explanation I was looking for, thanks and I go for wifi now without hesitation
I went back and forth in my mind about using the cellular on my iPad cause I bought it just to use the WiFi portion while at home . But long story short I ended up activating the cellular on it and haven’t looked back needless to say it came in handy immediately after I activated it cause we lost power and I was able to keep going without missing a beat
So if I don’t take my iPad outside my home I don’t need cellular
Yes mr michy
Yeah
I always buy an iPad cellular version. I travel to overseas a lot and most of the countries I go to don't have wifi in most places so the cellular version helps.
You're rich man
How does it work over seas? Do you need a local Sim card or just roam with T-Mobile data????
@@ComeBackKid1 Local sim card will save you a lot of money. I normally don't use my cellular service plan for both phone and Ipad until I'm back in the USA. These companies here charges a lot when you use their service overseas. I use airport wifi overseas on my devices until I get to my destination, then I buy a local sim card. Using Whatsapp to communicate with family and friends does help as well. I take out my AT&T sim card from my devices whiles I'm even in the air. lol
@@ComeBackKid1 Don't use roaming please. Sim cards are cheap anywhere you travel to.
Or you live in a shitty apartments with shared internet that costs about 10$ a month TV included and devices keeps getting kicked out of the network cuz there are too many people using. A Cellular connected ipad would make a lot of sense
You sure do know a lot about shitty living???
Exactly
People who live in those circumstances aren’t buying ipads and adding data plans to them lmao
Get a mifi router for the wifi model then...solved.
Thankyou so much for all the information you gave it really helped me decide which one to buy 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
dude, really... thank you SO much for making this video, you helped me a LOT...
You’re welcome 😊
Samee
I just bought my first iPad with cellular+WiFi and I’m excited to pick it up.
Yo! Jesus Quezada😎👍🏾
Enjoy that. I hope to get my first one soon... still deciding On specs
Hello does it have a sim card slot?
@@melindabohannon2849 What does having a sim card slot mean, that it only works by WiFi?
I, hope you enjoy it.
Barbra M No it’s what goes in your phone for cellular service. A lot of devices have esims now though
That person holding the ipad in this video has a VERY steady hand to hold it that long
You can use an iPad with cellular to fly a drone. Many professional drone users will have an iPad instead of a phone because its larger and easier to see and it frees up the phone too for calls.
Thank you, very helpful incite.
ive been using ipad with only wifi for the last few years by using my iphone as hotspot and let me tell ya it is not practical for long term use when you are out for 90% of time due to it getting disconnected constantly
Not to mention, it drains your battery
You don’t have a GPS included if you have just wifi and not cellular! For a seaman, that’s important!
Alin Gornicu that’s the piece of information that I was looking for.
Your phone does though
Juan Mora Yea and I have hotspot on it too usually I find the iPad to be a small tv but also with the capabilities of a phone at a certain point
So Google maps or waze apps don't work on wifi only ipads even with an active internet connection is that what your saying?
@@Simon_Cow Is it? I wanted to know too
Thanks man so helpful
You bring up good points. Good video!
One more convenient of iPad wifi + cellular is... if your iPad has gone missing or been stole, Find My is really convenient.
Lol. That's redundant because the wifi model has that feature too.
@@benzemamumba in my experience, i had an iPad mini 5 before in wifi version and it has been stolen. I cannot find it.. ever, until now. Because my iPad mini doesn’t connect with wifi. But, if that thieft connect with wifi, only then, i can locate where is my iPad. That’s why i said one more convenient of iPad wifi + cellular is.. if my iPad has gone missing or been stole, Find My is really convenient, because the iPad itself always connected and i can find it right away 🙂
i appreciate your review! i’ve had my ipad pro 2017 with cellular; I never had to use cellular even once...
Thanks, appreciate this video 👍
I love my cellular 12.9 iPad, its just, nice to have that option period.
this was a really helpful video! but, i just wanted to know if both versions can do airdrop or if only one of them can? it would help a ton if u could respond ✨
Both can
If you're gonna buy Pro model, pick LTE. When you're paying 1K+, add 200$ more for a niche feature.
nice video. by the way what kind of gadgets or computers do you suggest for school kids from elementary to high school as online classes are going on in everywhere.
I live in apartment complex that provides internet and we can’t order any other provider they don’t support them are internet is works ok but it’s capped so cellular sounds better for me
Please suggest, which variant of tab should by and which one is good in wifi only and wifi+lte
I’m gonna get the cellular and WiFi one because when I go to Mexico it is a 3-4 day without internet unless when we stay at a hotel which is late at night and I really like being connected, chat with my friends, my sister, watch videos so probably getting it for my birthday I’m so happy !
Personally i see that having a cellular ipad is that your ipad can be connected to internet on its own. God forbid you misplace or your ipad has been stolen, you can trace the location of your ipad.
Maybe you don't have or want a modern computer on wheels, and don't have carplay, and like the idea of a larger navigation screen than you phone.
This gps chip seems to be the real difference, and everyone never mentions it or just dismisses it as insignificant (including APPLE). As you said there are ways around not having cellular data, not true for no GPS hardware. I suspect most people who choose the WIFI only version, are not aware of this, and find out the hard way. It should be called iPad cellular + GPS, instead of cellular + wifi.
JD Will...You're right.
I use it for my business totally worth getting LTE
is there's something difference related to apps also regarding wifi or cellular..like some apps require otp to get started in android ...plz help me out with this one... require sincere answer
We can also buy external cellular dongle and use that if we buy only the wifi version of iPad .
Using my phone has a hotspot for my Wi-Fi only iPad, cost $0. Ipad with cellular $130 more upfront. $10 a month, $120 for the year. Keep it for 4 years - $480. $130+ $480= $610. $15 a month would be $850 over 4 years. Occasional use, then probably not worth it.
I should have watched this video. I could have get 1 TB version for 40 dollars more. Rather than 512gb + cellular. But there's that, I don't really regret it, since I bought it for very specific use case scenario.
Should u buy cellular on ipad mini??
Im using an ipad air4 cellular and i love it. It makes me comfortable with my ipad being mobile….in just one click, i can connect to internet. I notice that tethering can damage battery health….. i will never go back to wifi only device
Bro I want to buy an iPad Cellular version I am Android user So first time I am switching to an iPad can u plz tell me can we do direct calling in iPad without internet or internet and can i install Android apps like insta fb WhatsApp in it
@@infographicaditya7829 yes you can download that. But you cannot use it if there is no internet. All the apps requires internet, wifi only ipads is ok if ur at home. But when ur more of outside or traveler, cellular is useful to use this apps..all you have to do have internet connection
@@merjaymermanph thx vro can i download Instagram FB WhatsApp etc in iPad or not? Bro I am disappointed with one thing that I can't make calls after paying so much amount without internet in cellular iPad then wts the use of it sometimes network issue ,net problem so how can we do normal call
@@infographicaditya7829 you can make calls and text via apps. Once it has cellular connection if wifi is not available. But its not as same as cellphone with phonebook or what
Thanks a lot
Cellular is essential for me because it ships with the GPS chip which is needed for the sat nav GPS app I use when flying my light aircraft.
I did get the cellular version this time for the gps on the 11 pro.
Thanks 🙏
Hello im travelling to my country for 2 months where there is lot of power cut so its waste to think about wifi i need it for my kids schooling can i use google classroom with a sim card inserted?
this is what I'm looking for.
Wifi only ipad do not have GPS and Wifi and Cell ipads do have GPS! In MHO this makes the WIFI and Cell option a must if you are using Apps the utilise proper maps and charts ie not internet hosted maps.
So Google maps or waze apps don't work on wifi only ipads even with an internet connection, is that what your saying?
no need cor cellular I use the wifi of my iphone! i had the 3G + Wifi original ipad and ipad 2 but after that I no longer required it
Thanks for the video. I am purchasing a iPad through my cable subscriber. All I am purchasing is 1gb of service for 15 dollars that way I can pay the iPad slowly.
I dont like using hotspot on my iphone coz it makes the battery drain faster. I use the cellular ipad outside most of the time
You could easily connect your iPad to the phone network thought hotspots on a phone
NicVandEmZ really I didn’t know it
I just use a wifi hotspot device which just works perfectly fine for me ...
I switch on the dongle and wham!!! it's there...
Comparatively I saved a lot...
Karan M hi there - I got the WiFi version without even considering the cellular and I *slightly* regret for the few times I’d want it. I saw WiFi hotspots and though that’s a good remedy. Can you share which one you would recommend?
I travel alot is what most ppl comment 🤦🏽♂️... lol
Hello mrs rick
Great video thanks 😃
What company you worked for.
Thanks
off subject, but what kind of camera did you use to shoot this video?
Can a cellulaur tablet have a wifi function
I'm an OTR truck driver where hot spots, and wi-fi are rarely available...ppl get things for their needs
Valid points
I think cellular iPad is perfect for traveling and u don’t have a phone like if ur 11-14 years old..
BeeBLOX i have a iPad and iPhone and I’m. 13 🧐

Kpop trash no it's just forever iPhone lmao
It’s ya girl Jordynnn ! OMG SAME i have the delicious and the iPad 7 i use it for drawing I’m not rich though I’m 12
If you purchase an ipad + cellular do you have to activate the cellular service with your provider or can activate it only if you decide you need it?
You dont have to activate it but they still charge you per month
All my iDevices are cellular connectivity I like the freedom of roaming freely. I have ultimate data on my iPad and unlimited hotspot on my phone my Apple Watch is also cellular.
The main reason I feel like I’ll need cellular data is because I use it for maps or navigation purposes, and because I stream music when out and about, another good reason has to be if I need to make payments online asap without having to look for public wifi which can pose a threat to my accounts.
Honestly tethering from a phone kind of stinks. The main issue really is most tethering from phones still has data limits too. I think right now I have 15gb limit then it goes down to ultra slow speeds. Why have to bother with that when for $10-$20 I can just get fully unlimited data constantly to my iPad. 🤷🏼♂️
For something as data hunger as ipad pro, using cellular will require you to spend more money on cell plan with huge data/unlimited. Plus, it will drain battery very fast compared to wifi. I’ve experienced this and I’ll get the wifi only. But then I don’t trave a lot so this is quite subjective
$20 for unlimited plan with no data caps and added line? You spend more on your regular phone. Adding a tablet or smartwatch doesn't increase your bull drastically. It's the cell phone.
Aaron Garza Good for you, we don’t have that deal here in Malaysia.
Can non cellular iPad mini supports esim?
So for the pass 2 i wasted my damn time looking a sim slot on my sons iPad 7 generation that I just got him for Christmas going thru the entire settings watching videos searching the web then I bump in to your video 2 hours later just to find out that happen make 2 different iPad one with a sim slot and one without the sim slot wow
That's awful
If I get a cellular iPad do I have to pay extra for a phone plan so cellular can work?
I am thinking about using the cellular on an Ipad mini because it seems like it would be a cheap way to get a good phone, if I say get an earlier version of the Ipad mini. What do you think?
That sounds like a good idea, did you do it?
Are we still can buy app on Apple app store even without cellular data???
just a question : can we make a call using ipad pro?
Yep yes you can
Yep
Yes or no please?
Also can u facetime on an ipad if you dont have cellular and just wifi..? And make calls on just the wifi one?
Can anyone tell me how I can use my FaceTime to vidcall on my ipad wifi only. Can I do it using Apple ID or Its just useless in my version of ipad?
Plzz tell me what is the difference between a cellular tab and wifi tab??
Can we insert sim card on wifi version?
Wifi version doesn't have GPS while Cellular Models have & Yes you can insert the physical Sim but only Cellular Data is supported not normal call & sms, but you can do wifi calling with it and also use your imessage & faceid with your same appleid that was in your iPhone.
Do you need cellular for messages ot facetime?
question. i've never had an ipad but thinking of getting one. So, if I get the cellular one, it's basically a bigger phone right? you can send or make calls with it?
yes you can!
@@franciscocruz5539 I have question is wifi option available on ipad ?or wife is given free
You can with a caveat. You can't just dial a number like on your phone. You have to use an app like FaceTime, Messenger, WhatsApp, Zoom etc to make audio or video calls.
Thank you for your information...i am from Indonesia
MacBook Air for work, I beefed it up. Dumb phone for calls, unlimited minutes and text and 10GB of data £7/month. iPad mini for all my online work, banking, social media, videos, podcasts etc …. 75 GB data /month, £12. Never use unsecure public services. Never log in to any network regardless.
Can i share my internet from my Iphone to the Ipad pro and Air? Please help
Pls make a video on iphone to ipad vs samsung phn to Samsung tab connectivity...which ecosystem is better...
I found an iPad with WiFi & Cellular for some reason is cheaper than just the WiFi model. I am not planning to buy a cellular plan, so would the cheaper iPad with WiFi and cellular still work just the same (while on WiFi) as the WiFi only model? No drawbacks if I don’t have a cellular plan?
So if I use the iPad Mini for biking with the komoot app I am better off with cellular or an I better off with a mobike wifi router from huawei!?
I am planning on buying ipad air 3 it's just that I don't have any credit card to purchase apps online, so I was wondering if for example if I could just get the one with just Wifi are there ny other options in paying things just like application?
I'm new in Apple community so pls bare with my question.
you can use giftcard
the cellular model has and wi-fi also?
Sometimes when I go to the park I like to just take my ipad and not my galaxy note. So in that case its handy. Also I will be moving soon and will save money using my iPads LTE until I can afford internet.
Can any reply to my comment, I am an student so what should I buy a celular or wifi as I want to take notes, watch movies , social media,etc
Cellular. Adding a tablet or smart watch lte doesn't change your bill dramatically. I pay $20 for the unlimited plan. No data caps
Do you need to buy a new cellular line just for the iPad? Or can you use the same line you use for your phone?
WinnerMatt11 Mostly you have to get a separate data only line on your plan. I think T-Mobile has a way to use the same number as your cell but I’m not familiar with it.
versifyed I have straight talk unlimited on my iPhone can I use that on an iPad with cellular? Haven’t bought it yet. I live in a rural area and I know the hotspot will not be enough. Ty
👍 nice job can’t make up my mind ,what to do?
I'm just not sure what to buy, cause i'm an upcoming grade 8 student and is planning to use ebook. I do have a iphone 12 but i can't let it drain it's battery fast when it comes to hotspot.
Will a Cellular Ipad have the same functionality as an iPhone? I mean placing and receiving phonecalls, sending/receiving SMS messages, etc? Thanks
I just found the answer: "Important: Wi-Fi + Cellular models do not support cellular phone service-they support cellular data transmission only. To make phone calls on any iPad model, you need to use Wi-Fi Calling and an iPhone." support.apple.com/guide/ipad/make-and-receive-phone-calls-ipadf97892b2/ipados
So having cellular in the iPad is absolutely useless at least for me, other than data service as an alternative to Wifi it does not add any phone funcionality
Weird question but can you make calls with the cellular one because sim insertion and all or is the hotspot the only benefit? Can someone please explain?
Wifi version doesn't have GPS while Cellular Models have & No you can't do normal calls & sms with it, only Cellular Data is supported, but you can do wifi calling with it and also use your imessage & faceid with your same appleid that was in your iPhone. However you can go with Virtual Numbers with paid subscriptions if you still want to use 👍🏻
@@Nk_Neel do u think buying the WiFi version only and buying an external cellular dongle or hotspot would also work well instead of using the phone hotspot . I m from India and I was thinking of this option instead of buying a cellular version ipad .
You can always use the sim on your iPhone for the iPad.
Can i make a phone call and get a phone call without an iPhone from apple ipad pro cellular by just inserting sim .
Nope
I don’t own an iPhone, just an old flip phone, so I am hoping this will work for me.
my country doesn't provide high speed internet, even 4G wifi usually sucks. It it also hard to find wifi area and I don't go to cafe alot. I would like to save money but I need to get the cellular.
Also Hotspot is a bit slow and consume phones battery.
You can buy external cellular dongle or Hotspot and use that instead of using your phone cellular data as hotspot .
i’m an aviation student and just starting my flight training so i’m getting the cellular version since i need it for the GPS
All the best 👍🏾
Same question got me to this video. Which iPad did you get? I’m confused between the mini and Air. Air because I want a bigger screen for studying as well
I’m very interested this video made me interested and I’m very interested because I want one
Do you still have imessage and memoji if you get an iPad Pro without cellular?
yes! and you can also receive calls from ipad. my iphone& ipad rings together when someone calls !
Does wifi only ipad air 3 has esim support ?
Mori ssette I don’t think so.
