Best AnswerIf you have Wifi only, you need Wifi access to connect. If you have a data connected smartphone and acquire the tethering service, you can generate a wifi hotspot via your phone's data connection.

Can you get accidental damage insurance for an iPad?
- Asked by Kawungan S from Hervey Bay
- Jul 16, 2012

Best AnswerApplecare does not cover accidental damage- Applecare + does...
as of now it's $99 to cover an ipad for 2 years from date of purchase, and you have access to up to 2 incidents of damage in that time.
A replacement will cost you $49 if you do have APP+.
Also, its best to purchase APP+ at time of purchase- must be purchased within 30 days of purchase of iPad (or iPhone, etc.) and must be brought into apple retail store for inspection- if already damaged they will not likely sell coverage.
You can get exceptions to the retail store purchasing of APP+ if you live very far from the retail store or it's otherwise very hard for you to bring it in. In that case, call I-800-APL-CARE

what does wifi include in an ipad 4?
when you buy the ipad with wifi do you have to pay for it and do you get it everywhere you go or only on hotspots?
- Asked by Alan V from Edwards

Best AnswerWifi Internet connection is included on all ipad 4 models.
This means wherever your ipad is IF their is a wifi connection you are able to connect if you have the security information. You can connect to any open networks (no password.) There is no additional costs for this only the usual cost of the Internet the phone company charges your family each month. This Internet can only be used in some places or sometimes only at home.
3G/4G/LTE is Internet every where at a cost by home much you use,.
You can also set up a personal hotspot on devices that have 3G/ 4G / LTE this is an Internet connection that you pay for sepratly by buying a micro-sim.
Overall, you are not charged as much for wifi and it IS included in the device for no extra cost. I find wifi alone is fine for my ipad and don't find the need to use celluar. Yes basically wifi models can only use wifi hotspots where as wifi+ cellular models can use Internet everywhere at a cost

Is there an Ipad 4th generation AND and Ipad Mini or is the Ipad mini the 4th generation?
I am confused. If they did come out with a 4th gen full size Ipad, then did they remove the specs for the Ipad 3 yet leave the Ipad 2 specs up? Trying to determine if I want to upgrade but I don't think the Ipad 3 is listed under the compare models. Is it even worth the upgrade?

Best Answer
I recently upgraded to the iPad 3 from the original iPad. Along with the beautiful new screen, there is a noticeable reduction of glare in the new iPad. I've also used an iPad 2, and can say with certainty that both earlier versions are WAY harder to use in sunlight than the third-generation. I think it's called IPS technology (in-plane-switching).

what is the best ipad for me to buy? basically, i will use it more for my lyrics and music, photos. Is it good to buy an ipad 3 wifi or with 3g or 4g?

AnswerFor your needs, iPad 2 should be just fine. Even though the new iPads came out, there still aren't that big of differences between all of them. I got iPad 2 because it's cheaper than others, it runs iOS 6 and all the apps that run on the latest ones, run on iPad 2.
