Which apple iPad Air should I purchase to work with SIM card that will only be needed about 4 weeks per year?

Purchased apple ipad  air with wifi only want to switch to one that has SIM card.  Only needed for travel about 4weeks per year...understand you can swiitch SIM cards.  Which should I start with?

The biggest issue between the 1 and 2 is that all devices eventually age out of software updates. For example the iPad 1 maxed out at iOS 5.1.1, only the Touch 5 was eligible for iOS8 and I think only iPhones 4+ could get iOS8. So eventually, if you get a 1 you may face maxing out of the iOS updates before the two.
That said, even if your device maxes out it'll still run just fine as it is. You may just face issues with future apps....so say my iPad maxes out in December. In February a really cool game comes out and I want it... but wait, it's for the newer iOS and won't install on mine. If you're aware of the issue and accept the issue, there's no reason you can have a fully functioning older device.
And if the 1 is more stable than the 2, even better. I've been very lucky with my iPad 2 to have it be a very stable and dependable model while later models do seem to have had issues.

  • Why does Apple iPad Camera Connection Kit no longer work with iOS8

    Why does Apple iPad Camera Connection Kit no longer work with iOS8?

    The kit is firmly inserted in thhe iPad's dock ? You could also try a reset and see if it's recognised after the iPad has restarted : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.
    I haven't had problems using the kit with SD cards from Canon cameras . What capacity is the card, and it's an SD or SDHC card - if it's an SDXC card that's formatted as ExFAT then it won't be recognised

  • I bought an iphone sprint carrier on ebay but i want to know if the phone is going to work for an international carrier movistar which is gsm due to the phone does have a sim card slot , what do i need to do ?

    help me how can i get my phone to work in movistar which is my carrier in ecuador gsm . sprint iphones does have sim card slot but i'm not sure if it will work for gsm what do i need to do , how do i unlock it

    IF the phone was unlocked by Sprint for international use, it will work on any compatible (non U.S.) GSM carrier.
    If it was NOT unlocked before you acquired it, you will need to move to the US and establish service with Sprint, then wait the minimum amount of time specified by their policy before they will agree to unlock it for you.
    If you are not a Sprint customer, you bought the wrong phone.

  • Just upgraded to IOS 8 with iPad air and no more art work with my video's.  Very disappointing!  I hope they fix it!

    I regret upgrading to IOS 8 now because I cannot see the artwork for my video's.  That is the only reason I downloaded them through iTunes because I liked the way they displayed the art work of the video.  Now all I get is a gray box with the title in small letters below.  I hope they fix it. 

    Windows 8 w/ version 12.1.1.4 and iOS 8.1.3
    Close iTunes
    1)  Plug in Device
    2)  Go to Device Manager/Portable Device
    3)  Right click- update driver
    4)  Browse my computer
    5)  Let me pick from list
    6)  Click Have Disk
    7)  Type in, or look for C:\Program Files
    8)  Go to Common Files\Apple\Mobile Device\Support Drivers
    9)  Dbl-CLick  "usbaapl" file  - let it do it's thing, until status bar is finished
    Unplug Device- Open iTunes- plug in device- should work!
    I had to do this for both my phones- 5 and 6

  • Can I purchase an Apple Care extended warranty for an iPad Air if I purchase it at Best Buy?

    CAn I buy an Apple Care extended warranty for an iPad Air if I purchase it at Best Buy?

    For me? Buying from best buy was my only option since the closest apple store is over an hour away. (and technically in another state)
    Also, when I bought my iPod the warranty that Best Buy offered was far more comprehensive than Apple Care with accidental damage protection for up to 3 years.
    And, when my iPad's charging port messed up, I took it into Best Buy and they swapped me out for a new one while at an Apple store I likely would have gotten a refurb.
    When I swapped out my iPod 4 for my iPod 5 I took it into best buy, got $70 towards the purchase of the new device by trading in the old one.
    Best Buy isn't perfect and not every store is a good one, but they are a good alternative or other option to explore for those buying devices.
    I think my biggest beef when buying my iPad and later iPod at Best Buy is when I bought my iPad I bought the screen protector and they wanted to charge me to apply it...and it kinda rankled for me to be plunking down over $600 dollars to have them want to charge me $15 for a screen protector install.

  • Bluethoot and Wifi is not working properly in my apple ipad air

    <Edited by Host>

    should not post serial # or any other identifying info. Have asked the Hosts to remove.
    meanwhile, verify iOS 7.1.2? Is the problem NEW? If so, what has happened recently regarding update/upgrade/new software?

  • What is the difference between Apple Ipad Air Model

    What is the difference between Apple Ipad Air Model # MD788LL/A and Model # MD788LL/B

    These models both use the same i7-3820QM processor, so difference(if any) is probably not in CPU(only stepping can be different, but intel site shows only E1). GPU is also the same(again, 'revision' or something may be different). doesn't seem that RAM is different either, it's 1600 DDR3L(only timings and power consumption can differ, but it's unlikely). SSD - cannot say anything from specs. Screen[manufacturer]? Googling shows nothing for me. And only visible difference(apart from model number) for me is price. As I'm considering purchase, I don't want to spend more money to get different number.

  • We just got 2 iPad air today and Set up both with the same Apple ID, now I'm getting messages and FaceTime for my 13 yr old daughter.  Do I have to create a different Apple ID for her?

    We just got 2 iPad air today and Set up both with the same Apple ID, now I'm getting FaceTime and messages for my 12 yr. old.  Do I have to set up a separate Apple ID  for her to avoid this?

    It's a trust issue. You can set them up so you don't receive each other's messages as long as you each have your own email address.
    The trust issue is the fact that either of you can change the separation at any time via Settings by checking the appropriate (inappropriate?) email address.
    To be absolutely sure you can never receive each other's messages will require two Apple IDs.

  • Which refurbished iPhone should I buy to work with my iPad 3 wifi.  Will I need a personal hotspot?

    Which refurbished iPhone should I buy to work with my refurbished iPad 3 wifi?  Will I need a personal hotspot?

    I'm having the same problem.  The iPad has never roamed particularly well between access points, but under IOS6 it doesn't seem to roam at all, it simply sticks with the access point it first connected with.
    I don't have a solution for you, unfortunately.

  • HT1766 I purchased an iPad air and chose a backup from my iPhone 5s.  The only issue is only 30 of my photos downloaded to my iPad and none of the music.  How can I get all items on the iPad?

    I purchased an iPad air and chose a backup from my iPhone 5s.  The only issue is only 30 of my photos downloaded to my iPad and none of the music.  How can I get all items on the iPad?

    you are using I tunes as the middle man for this back up, right?
    When you plug in the pad to i tunes, give it a unique name, like my pad.  I tune may be thinking it is talking to your phone.  It will keep track of what you what on each device.  Then plug your phone back in, and make sure your photos are uploaded to the computer - in i photo if you are using a mac, or in whatever photo program you are using on a windows device.  You also want to make sure you have uploaded to the computer all of your music.
    Once you get all that stuff there, plug the pad back in, and go through each of the tabs - selecting the music, photos etal that you want on the pad, then resync.

    Try this first - Reset the iPad by holding down on the Sleep and Home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons. (This is equivalent to rebooting your computer.)
    Or this - Delete the account in Mail and then set it up again. Settings->Mail, Contacts, Calendars -> Accounts   Tap on the Account, then on the red button that says Remove Account.

  • I have an Apple Ipad Air. I'm trying to use two bluetooth earphones at the same time. Can it be done?

    I have an Apple Ipad Air. I'm trying to use two bluetooth earphones at one time. Only one works at a time.  Can two be used at the same time?  If so how do I get them to work?

    The likely reason no one can connect to the mini when it is connected to your work VPN has more to do with your work than your home set up. The administrator at work would have to decide to allow for "split-tunneling", thereby allowing your mac to be connected to work and the outside world simultaneously.

    Talk to the network admin at work.
