Is my iPad Mini from 5th generation carrier unlocked?

✅ If you bought your iPad Mini from 5th generation directly from Apple, it's already unlocked and ready to use with any eSIM.

If you got your iPad Mini from 5th generation from a mobile carrier as part of a contract or payment plan, it might be carrier-locked. Don't worry - this is less common nowadays! But please check with your carrier if your device can connect with other networks.
A carrier-unlocked phone simply means you can:

• Use eSIMs from any network provider
• Switch carriers whenever you want
• Use local eSIMs when traveling abroad

Not sure about your phone? Just contact your network provider to check - they can unlock it for you if needed.
