After complaints and criticism Appe has decided to change the branding on it’s new iPad and decided to go with the branding of iPad WiFi + Cellular.  The original branding of the New iPad was “iPad WiFi + 4G”. Apparently the name and branding of the New iPad didn’t match the performance Apple claim.

As far as prior iPads  All first-generation iPad and iPad 2 models with 3G-data connections were referred to as “iPad WiFi + 3G,” and the 3G model of the 16GB iPad 2 that Apple still sells is still called “iPad 2 WiFi + 3G.” There will be no brand change for those iPads since they used 3g service.  The problem the New iPads may have is the 4g service only functions in the United States and Canada.

Apple issued a statement for the customers in Australia stating

“This product supports very fast cellular networks. It is not compatible with current Australian 4G LTE networks and WiMAX networks. For service from a wireless carrier, sign up for a simple, month-by-month plan on your iPad and cancel anytime without penalty.”

 

At the moment the brand change can be seen across Apple.com and all official retailers and store will be changing signage to new “WiFi + Cellular” marketing.  But the question to be asked is this a Apple problem or service provider problem since Apple does not supply any cellular service.
