AT&T Is Locking Down Apple's Universal SIMs on the iPad Air 2


The new iPad Air 2 and iPad Mini 3 come with their own Apple SIM cards, letting you switch carriers whenever you choose. But AT&T isn't completely playing ball.



AT&T says it's only locking the Apple SIM card, not the iPad hardware, so you can still swap out a AT&T-locked SIM card for a T-Mobile one if you ever want to switch. You can also just buy a new SIM card from Apple itself. Other carriers sell them for $10, and the Apple variety probably won't cost much more.

Besides according to an Apple Support page recently updated , it's not like you can walk into a Sprint or T-Mobile store, buy an iPad, and pick a different carrier either. iPads purchased from Sprint won't even come with an Apple SIM. iPads purchased from AT&T and T-Mobile will come with locked SIMs to begin with, according to Apple's page. Verizon isn't offering compatibility with Apple SIMs.
