SIM card

An Apple SIM card or an embedded Apple SIM is used for your cellular data connection.
All iPad Wi-Fi + Cellular models include a SIM card tray. iPad Pro (9.7-inch) Wi­Fi + Cellular also includes an embedded Apple SIM (except in China). In some regions,
other iPad Wi-Fi + Cellular models may include a preinstalled Apple SIM card.

If you change carriers or if no SIM card is installed, you may need to install or replace the
SIM card. (Apple SIM card kits are available for purchase at Apple Retail locations in
countries with participating carriers. Except in China, iPad Pro (9.7-inch) Wi-Fi + Cellular
has an embedded SIM, so thereʼs no need to purchase a SIM card.)

Eject the SIM card tray. Insert a paper clip or the SIM eject tool (sold separately) into
the small hole of the SIM card tray on the right side of iPad, then press firmly to eject and
remove the tray. Place the SIM card in the tray—the angled corner determines the
correct orientation—then insert the SIM card tray back into iPad.

Management. When you delete a profile, the settings and accounts, and everything else
associated with the profile, are also removed.

If your organization wants you to have certain apps, it might provide you with redemption
