Q: Apple SIM in an iPad Pro 12"
I have a 12" iPad Pro in my office and I travel to the US tomorrow- can I be guaranteed that it contains an Apple SIM (which I then plan to use on AT&T)?
I spoke to AppleCare today and they say it does, but all documentation on the Apple site says the 9.7" version has an embedded SIM and does not mention the larger iPad Pro- does the 12" have it too??
I took a photo on Friday of my Settings -> general -> about page and this is in the top left- could that be the Apple SIM on the left? The photo does not have any more in that corner, just the end of "...IM"-
could this be "Cellular Data Apple SIM"
I am just desperate to confirm this before I fly tomorrow, so I know if I need to get a SIM in the US (which takes ages and I have to go to a store)?
Thanks for any help on this!!

Again, a 9.7" (smaller screen) sized iPad Pro will have the embedded Sim card.
A 12" (larger screen) sized iPad Pro does not have en embedded sim card. Only the removable one in the tray.
You can confirm this in the specs page for iPad Pro.

The lack of embedded sim card should not in any way stop you from getting service from AT&T however.
Your screen shot is cropped, it shows nothing.
