Hello Everyone - I am currently stuck in china and unable to make it back to the UK...

I need a iPad Pro 12.9 WITH SIMMCARD SLOT.

The most important thing is that I can have the fastest speed internet with a data simm..I do not want to use wi fi in my suppliers homes and factories for reasons a bit hard to explain

I cannot get hold of a M1 12.9 inch here but I need a iPad Pro 12.9 inch that I can attach this amazing magic keyboard and stylus to.. I can also use these two the day I get my M1 12.9 inch

My thinking is grab a second hand one but I don’t know which one I need... by needs are basic I will use the apple notepad a lot and access my Shopify website and use WhatsApp FaceTime etc

They have for sale here a IPAD PRO 1 iPad Pro 2 and iPad Pro 3... what is a iPad Pro 1? My main requirement is that it’s the smallest 12.9 inch (as I know there are two sizes of 12.9)...

Other than that as long as I can insert a simm card and also attach this 2020/2021 magic keyboard with track pad and a stylus I will be a happy guy

Speed of iPad when moving between apps is important to me and also the simm card slot...

I guess I will need to wait for the M1 but I really do not understand what they mean here when they say iPad Pro 1 iPad Pro 2 and iPad Pro 3... I just want the smallest 12.9 and keyboard need need clarification. Will all of these take the magic keyboard ?

Is the new one also called iPad Pro version 4 ?
Sorry for the long email and thank you in advance to anyone who reads this and replies

iYou want to be able to take your SIM card out extremely fast?
