According to pulsestacks on May 12th, Apple recently unveiled the 2024 models of iPad Pro/Air tablets at the "Take Flight" event.

• Source: pulsestacks For those planning to purchase the 2024 iPad Pro / Air "cellular version," please note that these tablets have completely removed the physical SIM card slot. The cellular version for the Chinese market only supports China Unicom's eSIM and does not support China Telecom / China Mobile. Those with SIM cards from other carriers should be cautious when making a purchase.

According to pulsestacks, Apple has also removed support for mmWave 5G on the 2024 iPad Pro/Air. The mmWave cellular network is currently mainly deployed in the United States, but even in areas where mmWave 5G signals can be received, they are not widespread. Therefore, it is not surprising that the 2024 iPad Pro/Air has canceled support for mmWave 5G networks.
