You can. That's why the wifi only models are more common. But some people prefer the seamless uninterrupted cellular connection if they are heavy users who are always outside on the go, want to save battery on the phone, or their phone plans have caps on hotspot caps.

Hmm been wanting the 11" one to use as a infotainment system for my car. This might just do.

Great deal considering the A16 model goes for the same at Spectrum stores. Does anyone know if this model is compatible on Spectrum's cellular network?

I was thinking the same thing. Why not just use a Hotspot on your phone instead of getting another bill?

For anyone wondering, this is the previous Gen iPad Air. They're up to M4 ones. Not sure how much of a difference that is if you aren't a power user.

Cause it's not unlimited. The only one that I can think of that's unlimited is visible. But the speed is like 5Mbps.lol
