Choosing an iPad path
Record an Apple tablet preference without assuming a generation
The iPad path is for an applicant who prefers an Apple tablet experience. It does not identify a particular iPad generation, screen size, storage capacity or cellular configuration. Those details depend on the device included in the current provider promotion.
Provider review should confirm the exact iPad or family, device condition, customer cost, included charger or accessories, connectivity and any activation requirement. A Wi-Fi-only iPad and a cellular-capable iPad have different service considerations, so the final offer should make that distinction clear.
When the requested iPad is not available, the applicant can consider a general tablet or Android tablet promotion instead. The application records the preference, and Customer Service remains available for fulfillment or device questions.
