KDDI announced on November 17th that it offered a new cellular data plan for iPad travelers with Apple SIM in Japan. With Apple SIM installed, iPad customers traveling to Japan can conveniently view and select this "LTE Data Pre-paid" plan directly on their iPad without switching SIM cards. iPad Pro, iPad Air 2, iPad mini 4 and iPad mini 3 Wi-Fi + Cellular models are compatible with Apple SIM.

The new, larger iPad Pro features a stunning 12.9-inch Retina display with 5.6 million pixels, the most ever in an iOS device, and groundbreaking performance with the new 64-bit A9X chip, rivaling most portable PCs. It is thin, light and delivers all-day 10-hour battery life that users have come to expect from iPad. Ultra-fast wireless connectivity keeps you connected wherever you go with 802.11ac Wi-Fi with MIMO technology, support for a wide range of LTE bands and other fast cellular network technologies (DCHSDPA,HSPA+).

iPad Air 2 is just 6.1mm thin, weighs less than a pound and is packed with amazing innovations ― a gorgeous Retina display with anti-reflective coating; iSight and FaceTime cameras for capturing stunning photos and videos; and the second generation 64-bit A8X chip that delivers improved CPU and graphics performance while playing games or working. iPad Air 2 with Wi-Fi + Cellular integrates even more LTE bands and comes with expanded LTE for up to 50 percent faster cellular connections, plus support for other fast cellular technology around the world (DC-HSDPA, HSPA+) ― all while delivering 10 hours of battery life.

iPad mini 4 features a gorgeous fully-laminated 7.9-inch Retina display and weighs only 0.65 pounds. Improved cameras capture vivid photos and videos, while Touch ID lets you unlock your device with just a touch of your finger.
