1GLOBAL has a long and proud history of supporting new Apple features and product launches, including being among the very first to extend eSIM support on the launch of the iPad Mini and iPad Air.
Apple took the industry by surprise in 2019 when it unveiled new additions to its iPad series, ahead of a scheduled event where it would showcase what would go on to become Apple TV.
eSIM-enabled iPad
What made these new iPad models stand out, other than their form, was that they were the latest in a series of Apple products introducing eSIM to the wider consumer market. It had only been a few months since Apple had become the first consumer device manufacturer to enable eSIM services in a flagship smartphone via the iPhone XS, iPhone XS Max and iPhone XR.
This was an important moment in the partnership between Apple and 1GLOBAL, as our eSIMs were already engineered to make connectivity simple for cellular-enabled iPad mini and iPad Air users. With an 1GLOBAL eSIM, Apple consumers could enjoy out-of-the-box connectivity without having to buy a SIM card separately. Apple fans just turned their device on, download the data plan of their choosing, and got online.
Instant connectivity
1GLOBAL’s eSIM for the newly released iPad Mini and Air was connectivity ready, right out of the box, in over 40 countries. It also allowed Apple users to get connected quickly and easily without the hassle of changing plans when they traveled to a different country. It remains the ideal solution for world travelers, international business jet-setters, and just individuals looking to simplify how they connect to their mobile network.
The inclusion of eSIM into the iPad mini and iPad Air signaled Apple's commitment to extend cutting-edge connectivity technology to a much broader customer base. What’s more it acted as a cue to the entire industry, not least mobile network operators, that the future of connectivity had arrived with eSIM. The eSIM is now a staple in connected devices and expected in all new chipset designs as the dominant connectivity form on the market.
