There is no difference, they're both the same version.There is only one version of the cellular iPad Air 2 that will work with AT&T. There are not separate 4g LTE and 3G cellular versions.

Thanks scifan57. My wife bought an air2 from Target last week and we had the worse time getting it to work on AT&T. Don't know what good it is. We were on the phone with Apple and AT&T for I don't know how long. Finally had to take it to the AT&T store where they swapped out the sim for their own.

What on earth good is/was the Apple SIM it came with??

The Apple SIM is supposed to work with any carrier, including AT&T. AT&T normally permanently locks the SIM to their network, defeating the whole purpose of a universal SIM card. It's possible that the Apple SIM was defective. You could take it to an Apple Store and have it tested. If it's defective you'll get a free replacement. You could then save it in case you ever travel outside the USA.
