A:AnswerYes, there shouldn’t be any reason, that this iPad wouldn’t hook to a hot spot. It would either connect via standard wireless or if iPhone is doing the hot spot - then via bluetooth.
A:AnswerThe one I have is good for the new iPad and also the iPad Pro. The case package will tell you what it fits. I got mine at Best Buy and the sales person helped me. The new iPad is smaller 9.7. So the other iPad cases are too large.
