I have recently received the iPad mini as a gift from someone to help me during flight school when I start after high school sometime next year. The issue is that this Mini does not have cellular as a part of it. I was wondering if it would still work and if that was an issue if I could just use my hotspot on my phone to cover for it.
If you have the opportunity to exchange the iPad, I would. The cellular is important because it gives allows GPS tracking even without a cell plan. See below for ATP’s requirement:
If you can’t swap it out, you could always post for sale on facebook marketplace, eBay, Craigslist and use the proceeds towards the cellular enabled version.
