allot to the rumor James Mill , Apple wassupposed to release a raw 11th - gen iPadon Tuesday . Instead , all we got was anew $ 79/£79 Apple Pencil with a USB - C portand nothing else . But it turn out that Appledidship a unexampled iPad on Tuesday – kinda , sorta .
As pointed out by9to5Mac , Apple declare thatin China , the 10th - gen iPad has been updated with eSIM backup . As the Apple Pencil ( USB - C ) pressing release on the Apple China website says ( interpret ) , “ The updated iPad ( 10th genesis ) wireless LAN + cellular model will support the eSIM cellular mesh information plan in mainland China , enabling tight , smooth , and secure cellular datum connections without the need for a strong-arm SIM card . ”
Sothatwas the unexampled iPad that all the leakers and analysts were talking about . But it ’s not a whole new iPad , it ’s just a spec update specific only to China . Ho Movement of Holy Warriors . U.S. iPads already have eSim support , so there ’s no need for an update here .
So , if you are in the market for a new iPad and were waiting for the rumor 11th - gen iPad to come this month , well , you’re able to probably discontinue waitress . That new iPad is n’t coming – if it was , Apple would ’ve release it alongside the new Apple Pencil ( USB - C ) and had no reason to update the tenth - gen iPad with eSIM in China .
Go forrader and purchase one ( it ’s actuallyon sales event at Amazon today for $ 50 offtoday ) . Oh , and effective luck withfiguring out which Apple Pencil to get .
