Are iPad Air and iPad Mini Retina both "SIM unlocked" in US? Can I use SIM cards sold in other countries?

I'm planning to buy iPad Air and iPad Mini Retina during my trip to US.
Are they both "SIM unlocked"?
Can I use SIM cards sold in other countries?
Do I need any treatment or/and application when purchase?

If you are not concerned about LTE bands (which will be more diverse and hit-or-miss) the only ones that will matter are these...
3G: UMTS/HSPA/HSPA+/DC-HSDPA (850, 900, 1700/2100, 1900, 2100 MHz)
2G: GSM/EDGE (850, 900, 1800, 1900 MHz)
This covers almost all the 2G and 3G standards. You will most likely be ok on 3G and in edge cases, at an absolute minimum you will have EDGE speeds since both US and EU frequencies are covered - blech :-)

I tested them side-by-side in Apple Store today and after the same 10 apps loaded, I didn't feel significant speed gain from iPad Air and iPad Mini with Retina Display from my New iPad.
I wonder what Processing Speed and Built-in Memory do the iPad Air and the iPad Mini with Retina Display have.
Can someone who has upgraded give any feedback?

Thanks Diavonex.

Release date of iPad Air and iPad Mini 2 in the Philippines

When will it be the release date of the new iPad Air and iPad Mini 2 in the Philippines?

As far as I know Apple has not announced a release date yet. You'll know as soon as we know. In fact Apple has not set a release date for the new ipad mini in the US. There are many people waiting for this announcement. Stay tuned.

FaceTime volume issue between iPad Air and iPad 2

I've noticed that when making FaceTime calls between iPad Air and iPad 2, the volume on iPad 2 is too soft and the volume on iPad Air is too loud. This only occurs between 2 different type of iPads. If both parties use the same type, the volumes on both sides are roughly the same and loud enough to be heard clearly. I've also verified with Skype which produced roughly the same loudness when video calling between an iPad Air and an iPad 2.
Just hope Apple can take notice of this issue and rectify in the new iOS release.

Yeah, what's up with this? I too have PDF's I want to sync between iPhone5s and new iPadAir. I'm not having luck!. You would think it would be SIMPLE!

Can the USB cord and charging plug be used interchangeably between iPad Air and Pad mini?

I have a new iPad air and a new iPad mini. Both seem to have the same white USB cable, but the charging plug adapters are different sizes. Can they be used interchangeably with each other? In other words, can I use the Air adapter to charge the Mini without a problem and vice versa?

The charger that comes with the iPad Air is 12 watts while the one that comes with the standard mini is 5 watts. As Kappy mentioned, the higher wattage charger (12 watt) can be used with both. If you try to use the 5 watt charger with the iPad Air, you'll likely get a Not Charging message. It may still charge but it will be very slow and it's not really recommended.
The cables themselves are identical, no issue there.

My Ipad Air and my Iphone have both stopped receiving incoming emails. What do I do?emails.

My Ipad air and my iphone 4s stopped receiving incoming email messages. What do I do.

Thats a tough one, I've gone through many transfers for my computers or friends computers, have only seen this one time. I can only make a couple suggestions of what I'd do not that its the "best practice" or anything like that but my best results ended up being a TimeMachine transfer but I do need to find out more info.
What OSX is running on your former machine and whats on your new machine?
When was the last time you used your Disk Utility to Repair Disk Permissions or Repair Disk on your old machine?
Its always a good idea to do the above steps and also make sure you're running the latest version of that particular OSX whatever that may be. I started using TimeMachine with an external USB drive which seemed to be the most productive for me but does have the same result if migrating from an older Mac.
Hope this helps somewhat

How can I link my iPad Air and iPhone 4s via Bluetooth, please? They haveBluetooth turned on but will not find each other.

How can I link my iPad Air and iPhone 4s via Bluetooth, please? They both have Bluetooth turned on but will only search and find nothing. The words 'Now Discoverable' appear under the search panel.

for the devices to find each other via Bluetooth you would need to turn on the iPhones cellular hotspot and then let them search for each other. As far as I have found this Bluetooth connection is only for connecting the iPad to internet via iPhones data plan.
To transfer photos you could setup a new photo stream and put the photos you want transferred in it. When it syncs to the iPad you can save directly to the camera roll and delete the photo stream. You may also be able to delete the photos old photos and re-add them to photo stream so it looks like they are new to the iPad.

Do anybody know the clock speed of both the iPad Air and the Mini w/Retina Display?

I've looking for some benchmarks on both iPads with A7 chip, but I've haven't find anything related to the clock speeds (only that the iPad Air has a dual core running @ 1400 MHz). Do anyone knows the specs for the iPad mini with Retina Display?

What are the differences between iPad air and iPad air2

Hello wish to know the differences that exist the ipad air 2 and the ipad air. thank you

See the first 2 columns of http://store.apple.com/us/ipad/compare

I am getting redirects on iPad air and iPad 2 whether using wifi or Cell services.

iPad Air
running 8.2
Model mfoo3ll/a
I did a search today for a local doctors website and phone number using google.
When I clicked on the site I was first directed to a "app" to buy ****.
I closed the window and opened a new window and typed in the URL directly and then got redirected to to other **** sites.
When I tried on the desktop computer, everything was fine and got to the website normally.
I then cleared all history, cookies and web data. Still the same redirect result going to the same website.
I did the above and shut down and restarted. Still the same thing.
I read about possible infected wireless routers where one of the tips was going to a different wireless network and see if it cleared up the issue. So I turned off the wifi and turned one the ATT cell service. Still same result.
I am looking for suggestion on what to do next.
Respectfully

I did see that article.
Did you see where I said I used the Cell Service not wifi? totally bypassed my wife router and its still doing weird sh_t
I am on ATT cell service and when I open Safari, instead of a blank window, it defaults to the BING website. This is totally bypassing the router and using cell service.
I did a reset as per jazcan, installed 8.3 and still No Joy.

I want to buy an iPad Air and iPad Mini online, my question is if they are unlocked so I can use it on my country

I`m from Costa Rica and want to buy an iPad mini and Air, when I try to buy it online I have to choose Verizon, Mobile, etc. to add it to my cart, is this normal buying on line so I can use it unlocked in my country.

Some iPads have the ability to connect to a cellular connection for data. This usually requires a subscription contract of 2 years. If this is not what you want, don't choose the iPads with data services and just use WiFi.

I just bought an ipad air and the versions of both itunes and icloud on it are too old to be able to restore from backup. why would apple do this if it is not supported???

should I set it up as a new device?

I haven't done it. But if you set it up as new, just long enough to be able to update the operating system. Then go in and 'erase all content and settings'. This puts your iPad back to its out of box state, just not the operating system. You can then set your iPad up again, but this time you restore it from the backup of your old one.

Just purchased my apple iPad air and I do not have my free apps. Can anyone help?

Just purchased and restored it from my iPad 3 but no new apps. Any suggestions?

IPad air and LTE in Germany with O2

When can you expect that with the Ipad air and the Mini retina can be used also LTE by O2 in Germany
The frequency bands of the Ipdas are identical to those of the IPhone 5S - why is the function at O2 still not teleased?
Sice already the TouchID when the IPad was saved and do not exist, the lack of LTE keep coverage now but certainly me from a purchase.
Do you hav Information about LTE with O2 on Ipad Air and IPad mini Retina? O2 certainly has none.

This will probably come in handy for you.

Your questions are sort of all over the place and it makes it difficult to offer help when you splatter a whole bunch of stuff against the wall at once.
Mail accounts will sync to the iPad from iTunes if they are selected to sync. You can add the email account to the iPad in Settings>Mail, contacts, calendar>Add account. If you restore the iPad from a backup of another iPad, that should restore the email accounts to the new iPad.
Your backups will always be separate because iTunes reads the serial number on the iPad so if you had 10 iPads and gave them all the same name, iTunes would still see each one as it's own device.
You also threw the iPhone into the mix now. Why don't you start over and explain what you did to set up the new iPad Air. Or just start over and clarify all of the information a bit.
