What is the difference between the WLAN and Cellular versions of iPad tablets?

Almost all Apple iPads have two versions, one is the wifi version and the other is the mobile cellular version.

The wifi version can only use LAN wifi to realize the Internet access function. Cellular means honeycomb. The cellular version can realize WAN access through network cards purchased by operators (China Mobile, China Unicom, Telecom).

1. Network differences.

Wifi version: can only be connected to WiFi for online use. Wlan+Cellular version: You can connect to WiFi for Internet use or insert a phone card for data connection. However, it should be noted that you cannot answer calls and receive text messages at this time, and can only use cellular network data.

2. Differences in hotspot functions.

After the Cellular version of iPad uses a 3G/4G card to access the Internet, you can set up a hotspot through WIFI to allow other devices to connect to the Internet. The WLAN version of iPad does not have this function.

3. Appearance difference.

The iPad card version is also the Cellular version, so a sim card can be inserted, so it has more card slots than the wlan version.
