- A: AnswerI think you are a little bit confused about the meaning of "unlocked" iPad. To understand this, first we must divide this iPad model into its two sub-models: the ones with Wi-Fi only and the ones with Wi-Fi + Cellular. Now, the Wi-Fi + Cellular models are the only ones that are defined as "unlocked", as it means that it does not have a Cellular Carrier (Verizon, AT&T, T-Mobile, etc.), but you can come into any of these carriers to "activate" your iPad. By doing this, you will have access to the carrier's 4G LTE network, which then allows you to use you iPad with internet connection on places where there is no Wi-Fi available. Essentially, just like a smartphone. And, just as a smartphone, again, you will have to pay a monthly fee for this cellular connection. Depending on the carrier and the plan you choose, the monthly fee charge varies. I would say that you are looking at around $50 a month for an unlimited cellular plan. But let's say you buy this Wi-Fi + Cellular model and do not activate it. Well, you won't have the cellular connection, but you would have GPS which is a hidden feature that this model has. But the price increase is not worth it.

- A: AnswerThere are two variants of iPad, the wifi model, and the LTE model, for most customers the wifi is sufficient because you're using it at home. If you plan to use your iPad out and about, the LTE model would be the way to go.

- A: AnswerI believe that a Best Buy employee can help you with that at the front desk without any fee. I would recommend that you have your Apple ID and password ready because you are most likely to use it for a backup which will then will be transferred to the new device.

Q: QuestionHow does this compare to the 6th generation model?(1 answer)
A: AnswerThe new 9th gen is far superior in every way. It has a larger and better display (10.2 vs. 9.7), faster processor (A13 vs. A10), starts with double the storage (64 GB vs. 32 GB), as well as other things like better cameras on the front and back as well as features like Truetone and Center Stage. I wouldn't purchase a 6th gen iPad unless it was incredibly cheap or given as a hand-me-down.Answered by gldoorii
Q: QuestionWhat accessories go with this?(1 answer)
A: AnswerApple offers you many types of cases including one that contains a keyboard if you want to use it like a 2-in-1 laptop. It also supports the Apple Pencil, but only the first one (the cheaper one). And, as well, you can connect your AirPods. There are also all types of accessories from 3rd party brands for cases, cases with keyboards, digital pencils, and earphones. Just be sure that the product you are buying states that it is indeed compatible with iPad. It probably says so on the back. Also, you can still connect your wired earphones or headphones on the 3.5mm jack.Answered by Diego
- A: AnswerThe short answer is: iMessage: yes, SMS: no. The longer answer is that you can use an app like Google Voice or TextNow to send and receive SMS messages from your iPad, but there are some limitations. Some companies (banks, for example) will only send SMS messages to phone numbers registered with a cellular provider and not to a number registered with an app.

One Happy Customer
One evening I saw on Best Buy’s website, an I-pad gen 9 that I’ve been shopping for. The price was better than Target’s or Walmarts for the same item . In the morning I went to the Best Buy store located in Jensen Beach .I went to the department withe iPads, there a female employee greeted me and offered her assistance.She was very knowledgeable and friendly ., I also inquired to her about buying a keyboard for the iPad., Thanks to her help, I decided to purchase both, the Apple iPad and the Zagg keyboard. Once I got home I saw the employee was right, setting up the iPad was easy. I like the fact that it has a bright screen and comes with apps pre installed that I’d be using . Two days later my Zagg keyboard was delivered,just as she told me it would be, again an easy setup. I’m very happy with both purchases . When you invest hard earned money into a product it’s a very satisfying feeling knowing your money was well spent, Thank you Best Buy, with out your friendly and smart employee I might not of made the two purchases. Best Buy will continue to have my business for all my electronic needs in the future.

One of mu bestbuy purchases
I recently purchased an iPad from Best Buy, and I must say, it has exceeded my expectations in every way. From its sleek design to its impressive performance, this iPad has become an indispensable tool in my day to day life. In terms of performance, this iPad is a powerhouse. The processor is lightning-fast, allowing for seamless multitasking and smooth operation of even the most demanding apps. Whether I'm running productivity tools, graphic-intensive games, or resource-heavy applications, the iPad handles everything with ease.

My Best Buy.
Git this for my wife on Mother’s Day from Best Buy during a great sale. All the other stores had this same Ipad on sale but only Best Buy had it brand new, all the others were refurbished. Wife does not put it down. It’s her planner, her cookbook, her AI assistant, it multi tasks for her. Take your time and really find out and research how to use and what you can do with these IPads. You’ll be amazed. She makes AI art of our chihuahua and put it in clothing lol.
