If I put a new apple sim card in my iPad (5th generation) will it more than 3 carriers?

Does Apple still sell the Apple sim card for iPads? If so, would a new Apple sim card in my iPad (5th generation) have more than the 3 carriers (AT&T, T-mobile and Gigsky) my old Apple sim card has?

iPad Pro 9.7-inch WiFi, Cellular

Yes, physical Apple Stores still retail fresh AppleSIM cards for compatible models of iPad.


Once activated with some Carriers (e.g.. AT&T), an AppleSIM may become locked to the Carrier network - and for this reason replacement AppleSIMs are available. Unless your AppleSIM has become carrier-locked, or has ceased functioning, you shouldn’t need to replace the AppleSIM.


The Apple-partnered Cellular Carriers that support AppleSIM often change - and differ by geographic region; as such, the carriers that are available, where you are, will change over time.
