The Apple iPad (A16) Wi-Fi + Cellular is the 11-inch iPad with its own data connection. This configuration, Apple part number MD7K4LL/A, is the 256GB model in Silver. The MD7K4LL/A part number is a US-market (LL/A) configuration. The higher capacity suits IT teams deploying tablets for field staff, consultants who keep large document libraries offline, and creators who shoot 4K video on the device.

The A16 chip, with a 5-core CPU, 4-core GPU and 16-core Neural Engine, runs business apps, multitasking and 4K video editing with ease. The 11-inch Liquid Retina display is 2360 by 1640 pixels at 264 ppi, with True Tone, 500 nits brightness and a fingerprint-resistant oleophobic coating. Apple Pencil (USB-C) and Apple Pencil (1st generation) are supported, and Magic Keyboard Folio connects through the Smart Connector.

Cellular support covers 5G (sub-6 GHz) with 4x4 MIMO and Gigabit LTE with 4x4 MIMO across an extensive list of 5G NR, FDD-LTE and TD-LTE bands. The iPad uses eSIM only and does not accept physical SIM cards. Service is data only, with Wi-Fi calling, FaceTime, and relay of calls from a nearby iPhone. Wi-Fi 6 with 2x2 MIMO, Bluetooth 5.3 and GPS/GNSS complete the wireless feature set.

Power comes from a 28.93-watt-hour battery rated for up to 10 hours on Wi-Fi and up to 9 hours on cellular data. The USB-C port supports charging, DisplayPort output to one external display at up to 4K 60Hz, and USB 2.0 drives and docks. Touch ID secures the device and Apple Pay, and the landscape 12MP Center Stage camera keeps you centred on video calls.

  • Consultants and sales staff presenting from the road on an external display
  • Recording and editing 4K video on location
