It’s not as flashy as a gold patina and not as thrilling as a Retina iMac, but the capabilities of the SIM card in the new iPad Air 2 (http://www.macworld.com/article/2834505/apple-debuts-ipad-air-2-and-ipad-mini-3-thinner-faster-gold-and-with-touch-id.html) are every bit as major as Apple’s other announcements on Thursday.</p><p>
When you buy an iPad Air 2 with Wi-Fi and cellular connectivity, you won’t have to confine yourself to one carrier for your data plan.

Unlike traditional smartphone data plans, iPad cell service is pay-as-you-go, but before Apple introduced its new SIM card, you had to pick a carrier and stick with it.</p><p class="jumpTag"><a href="/article/2835158/apple-makes-ipad-air-2-carrier-agnostic-with-new-bespoke-sim-card.html#jump">To read this article in full or to leave a comment, please click here[/url]</p></section></article>
