All models of iPad are available in two principle variants - these being WiFi Only and WiFi+Cellular - each of the two being offered with different internal storage capacities.


WiFi Only models of iPad have no cellular hardware or a SIM slot. Only WiFi+Cellular models of iPad have Cellular capabilities.


Set up cellular data service on your Wi-Fi + Cellular model iPad - Apple Support


WiFi Only models also lack GPS functions - as GPS is an integral element of the Cellular chipset.
