There is no item for Apple SIM settings

Dear Members

I have iPad (5th gen.) MP2D2FD/A with WiFi+Cellular

I expected to find embedded Apple SIM there cause it should be according to specification

https://support.apple.com/guide/ipad/aside/ipad933ec73c/12.0/ios/12.0

But I can't find appropriate item for settings. There is not "Settings > Cellular Data" as mentioned there:

https://support.apple.com/guide/ipad/set-up-cellular-service-ipad9940e098/ios

I see only only "Settings > Mobile Data" for nanoSIM.

I was going to use GigSky https://www.gigsky.com/gigsky-for-ipad-cellular/, but ...(((

iPad (5th gen) Wi-Fi, Cellular

Cellular Data and Mobile Data are the same.

Some countries called it Mobile Data.

The nano-SIM tray is on the right side on iPad (5th generation) Wi-Fi + Cellular

There is no Apple SIM or eSIM in there.

iPad use Data only SIM not the as as for phones.

What settings are you looking for?

The Apple SIM is the one that was in the nano-SIM slot when you got the device.

Yes. But I can't find any items for Apple SIM under this point: "Settings > Mobile Data". I see only settings for my nano-SIM mobile operator.

There is not any points for Apple SIM among whole Settings menu. (((

I have iPad (5th gen.) Wi-Fi + Cellular model and I expected to find both Apple SIM and nano-SIM on board.

Apple SIM should be there according to technical specification:

But found only nano-SIM

Is there any way to find and set Apple SIM there?

Thanks a lot, Michael.

I thought Apple SIM is a kind of chip integrated in iPad hardware.

Everything is clear if it's provided by Apple physical SIM-card for nano-SIM slot.
