Buy iPad mini

There are two SIM options for connecting your iPad with Wi-Fi + Cellular to a data plan: a physical SIM card or eSIM technology.^*** (Note: iPad with Wi-Fi models cannot connect to cellular networks.)

Physical SIM card: All Wi-Fi + Cellular models have a physical nano-SIM tray that will hold a carrier nano-SIM card (also called 4FF SIM card). Your iPad may have a carrier SIM card already installed if you purchased it from a carrier. If not, you can contact your carrier to obtain an appropriate card for your iPad. Some iPad models also support an Apple SIM card. For more information, go to https://support.apple.com/en-my/HT203089.

eSIM technology: Newer Wi-Fi + Cellular models include built-in eSIM technology that essentially acts as a digital SIM card. There are a few ways to activate an eSIM on your iPad, including downloading it right on the iPad itself, scanning a QR code, or using an app from a carrier. With eSIM, you can choose cellular data plans from select carriers in the U.S. and in more than 180 countries and regions around the world. For more information on setting up eSIM, go to https://support.apple.com/en-my/HT203089.
