Wifi or Cellular - which did you buy?

[leelai]

It's one of the first questions we need to ask ourselves once we do decide to buy an iPad, do we buy a Wifi only iPad or the Cellular version?

The next question is what size do we buy?

So let us know what you opted for.

I myself have always bought the cellular version, just love the true GPS functionality which comes with cellular.

iPad 2 64gb wifi + cellular
iPad mini 32gb wifi + cellular
iPad Air 128gb wifi + cellular

I bought my second iPad without cellular. Never again. Well, maybe for a 'second' iPad that never leaves home.

Both are Wi-Fi + cellular.

I got the cellular model because Sprint was offering free data! It is a great deal!

Never had a problem woth 16 GB Wi-fi only. Never had any use for cellular. Never had any use for 32 GB, or 64 GB, or a 1 TB. All I need is in the starters.

I have a 64 GB wifi only. I have had no need of cellular data till date.

Wi-fi only, and it suits me fine. The only time I sort of regretted not having cellular is over the past week or so, while my replacement phone is on the way from Apple.

iPad Air 128 GB wifi/cellular since I use personal hotspot to connect my PC to the web. There are better wifi connections in Africa then in rural areas in the USA.

iPad Air 16g w/Cellular. Was easy to add it to my current data share plan with AT&T. My previous iPads were wifi and it sort of sucked sometimes when I didn't have access to the net.

WiFi only iPad2. Travel regularly overseas and have always been able to do the usual, mails and searches from free or sometimes paid WiFi sites.

iPad 1 64Gb Wi-Fi only. I'm missing cellular a lot. It is great to stay connected wherever you are, but I never heard about free public Wi-Fi hotspots in Turkmenistan I'm living in. I don't remember why I bought a Wi-Fi only version, maybe, because the cellular option was not available at that time. I ordered mine from US immediately after this wonderful thing became available for purchase. For sure, my next iPad will be Wi-Fi + cellular.

I have the Air Wifi , I use my free hotspot (tmobile) whenever I need the data.

I bought the wifi+cellular model of the iPad 4 because I like to bring it with me when I leave the house. I bought the wifi-only model of the iPad mini because it rarely leaves the house and is used mostly for reading books. I usually buy the lowest storage device because I rarely use more than 5 GB of storage.
