iPad mini 4 has a gorgeous 7.9-inch Retina display, yet it's only 6.1mm thin and weighs just 0.65 pounds, making it small enough to hold in one hand. It has a powerful A8 chip with 64-bit desktop-class architecture, advanced iSight and FaceTime HD cameras, Wi-Fi and LTE connectivity, iCloud, the breakthrough Touch ID fingerprint sensor, and up to 10 hours of battery life. It also includes great apps for productivity and creativity, and powerful new features in iOS 9 like multitasking. And there are even more incredible apps available in the App Store.
A: WiFi means you can connect the iPad to any Wi-Fi access point like your home or a coffee shop. When you add “unlocked” to that, it means the iPad is also equipped with a cellular data modem that can be used on cellular data networks provided by cellular carriers (like a smart phone, but only data...no “voice” plan), but the iPad is not “locked” to a specific carrier when you buy it. You can choose a carrier and change carriers as you see fit. When a carrier is specified in the description, the iPad cellular modem is locked to that carrier and can only be moved to a different carrier after being unlocked by the original carrier. Usually this means the original carrier subsidized the price to some extent in order to get you to sign up for a wireless plan with a one or two year commitment. Unlocking the iPad would likely require that you pay the original carrier a fee for letting you out of the time commitment, if you terminate early. If you satisfy your service contract time commitment, you will still need to have the original carrier “unlock” the iPad from their network, if you want to change carriers at a future date. Even with “WiFi only”, you can make voice and video “calls” over data using various “apps” (like FaceTime and Skype) as long as you are connected to a WiFi network. However, there is no phone app on the iPad, so you can’t make regular phone calls on the iPad even if you have the version that includes cellular data capability. Just like a laptop, it isn’t a “phone”.
Q: What does “WiFi + unlocked” exactly mean? And what’s the difference between just “WiFi”?
A: WiFi means it will get a internet signal from your home internet or a hotel, restaurant signal. Unlocked is so you can get a signal from your phone company.
A: The answer is yes, but it's not necessarily automatic. All of the data that you've chosen to save in your iCloud account will transfer when you log in using the same credentials. If you are referring to your photos and apps then you would need to specifically allow those items to be stored in your iCloud first so that when you log in to the new device those items will will be available. You can also use iTunes to do this.

A: Price is the difference!
Q: Can an iPad communicate via text with another iPad even if you don't have an iPhone?
A: Yes, if you have a WiFi connection.
A: This one is the latest one
A: Open Box is an item that was returned to Best Buy after it was opened. They can't legally sell it as "new" since it was opened, even if it was never used. Refurbished items were returned due to an issue, and then fixed by the manufacturer. If you want to use an iPad on a cellular network, you need to buy one that cellular capable. An iPad that's listed as WiFi will not work. You need to spend a little more and get a WiFi/Cellular model. Best Buy allows 14 days for electronics returns, and you can take an online purchase in to your local store for return, with receipt.
A: I don’t even think you need to create a “hot spot”; you just use the data that you have on your plan using the SIM card. It works great!
