A couple of weeks ago I replace my old WiFi-only iPad with one with cellular data. I don’t need it often but having it available is a game-changer and I can now express informed surprise that laptops with cellular data are not more widespread.
It’s filed away with banks not allowing us to generate virtual card details for on-line payments to help combat fraud and tedious updates when cards expire.
@simonw do you not tether much with your mobile phone provider? I’ll regularly do this providing access for my iPad, laptop, or even the youngest kid’s iPhone (she has no SIM in it, she’s only 9).
@mo I’m not a huge fan of it because it always seems to have a horrible effect on my phone’s battery. Mind you, until pretty recently I was on an iPhone X so age was bot on its side.
