Does the ipad mini have built in wifi

I'm hoping to buy an ipad mini soon. But i want to use it for home and on the go. And i was wondering does the ipad mini have built in wifi? And if it does how do i turn it on. Is it like the iPhone and it gives you an option to turn on personal hotspot or what? Thanks

All iPad's have wifi capability. You do the wifi setup by using the Settings app.
You can pay extra for an iPad that has 3/4G cellular. Your iPad uses wifi when available. If not available it switches to cellular. You have to pay extra for the iPad's data plan with your chosen carrier.
If you have an iPhone, you can use it as a hotspot instead of using cellular.

  • Does the iPad mini have a setting so it can be used with either 120 or 240 electrical current? If yes, how do you go about setting the desired input voltage? I will travel to Northern Europe and want to know if I will need a voltage converter.

    The iPad charger is dual voltage. You need only a plug adapter to be able to plug your US charger into a European wall outlet. A basic one costs about $2.00. - $6.00. Like this...

  • Does the iPad mini have a retina display?

  • Does the iPad mini have the same slow charging issues as my "New IPad"?

    I'm considering returning my New IPad and purchasing the iPad mini due to the slow charging issues with my New IPad. Does anyone know if the mini has the same issue?  Does anyone know if Apple is planning on offering a different charger for the New IPad?  I love everything about the New IPad except the charging system. I can't use it as much as I would like to.  It's so disappointing!!!!

    I also have issues when charging my brand new iPad mini. I got astonished when I tried to charge it yersterday and realized it took more more time to charge than my iPod Touch 4th generation, which really charges very fast! It even did'nt charge completely so when I got home I put mi iPad mini to charge overnight, at about 12.30 AM, when it had about 13% charge left.
    This morning I got shocked when I saw at 6 Am that it hadn't charged completely. Just 96%, which means the iPad mini can't be totally charged during a 6 hours charging session. So after reading all these posts I get disappointed with this huge issue for iPad users. How can we endure such a long charging sessions for a device that you normally use all the time. For instance, when you're traveling you always need to charge the iPad very quickly. Just a few travelers would allow their ipads to rule their schedules on such a bizarre way!
    I was also worried because I don't live in the States. It was my brother who bought it for me, so taking my device to the Apple Glass Cube in New York or any other retailer or just to have this issue technically solved is a big problem for me! So international customers who think to buy this wonderful mini tablet should consider that such a marvelous device is dealing with an absurd and disappointing big problem related to an aspect customers would hardly imagine.

  • Hi, does the ipad mini have a retina display?

    Hi, I would like to buy an Ipad mini or Ipad retina display for my son going to 8th grade. School administration recommends that. So I am wondering which of the two Ipads is better for him in school. Is there a difference in the display as well?

    No, the iPad Mini doesn't have a retina display. It has the same screen resolution as the first two iPad models had i.e. 1024 by 768 pixels, which on the Mini works out at 163 pixels per inch - the iPad 3 and 4 which have retina displays have 2048 by 1536 pixels, which is 264 per inch
    If you will be using the on-screen keyboard, as opposed to a bluetooth keyboard, then the larger iPad would be better suited - but due to the larger screen I would probably suggest the larger iPad anyway (e.g. you will be able to view more of your documents on-screen, and webpages and ebooks will also fit more on the screen). Are you near to a store which has both in so that you can compare the sizes of the iPads yourself ?

  • Does the ipad mini have gps capability

    I am contemplating using my iPad mini as a GPS device whenever I go out in the desert in my ATV. Can it serve this purpose? Also, are BLM trail maps available in the APP store or elsewhere? Thank you.

    Only the cellular iPads have built-in GPS, the wifi-only models rely on getting their position from the router that they are connected to being in Apple's database (though there are some external GPS units which apparently work them e.g. Bad Elf GPS).
    I don't know about BLM maps

  • HT3425 Does the iPad Mini have a Liquid Contact Indicator?

    I have just dropped my iPad mini into a relatively small puddle in the bath....don't ask.
    I removed it straight away, turned it off and threw in in a box with raw rice. I'm going to leave it for 24 hours or so.
    When it emerges from it's grainy pit is there an LCI on the mini which I will be able to see?

    This is better than rice; no dust.
    Put iPad and dessicator in a plastic bag or container to remove moisture.

  • Does the IPAD mini come with, or have an optional, adaptor for charging from the cigarette lighter in the car?

    Does the IPAD mini come with, or have an optional, cigarette lighter adaptor for charging?

    Thanks much for the links, Johnathan.  I am going to be spending this summer kayaking in SE Alaska working with a conservation group out of Sitka, measuring data from remote wilderness areas.  I found a human powered 12v charger made by Freeplay Energy that utilizes a common cigarette lighter plug in.  With one of the adaptors you have identified for me I should be able to crank power into a mini in the middle of nowhere.
    I had hoped I could download the free Sirius XM app and receive satellite radio in addition to other mini uses, but Sirius informs me they don't cover SE Alaska, but could still receive broadcasts whenever I'm in one of the Sitka harbors that provide wifi, i.e. internet radio.
    If any other helpful takes on my situation occur to you be assured I'm all ears.
    Thanks again.
