col.bris said:That is correct. However the iPad 3 does gain performance on 4g networks on Australia compared to 3G and iPad 2.
Considering 4g is only available with in 5 kl if each city to me at least it is anon event
Abrennan said:I visited Telstra to ask about the 4g sim for the new iPad. They told me they had no knowledge of what sim size the 4g iPad would come with. I have since read that the new 4g iPad will have the same sim size as iPad 3 which is the micro sim and not the nano sim that I believe is in the iPhone 5.
The staff at Telstra also told me that if the sim was the same size I didn't need to buy a new sim to gain access to the 4g network. They said the access to 4g was enabled by the iPad device so I could just swap my sim from 3 into 4 and when in 4g areas I would have access to those speeds.
Can anyone confirm these things or add to the discussion in some way, thanks.
They are correct in saying the iPad would access the 4g network, as it is the radio hardware that does the connecting, the SIM is merely the "key" that gains you access to the Telstra network.
