To clarify...


The iPad Pro M4, whether WiFi Only or WiFi+Cellular model, doesn't have a slot for a physical DataSIM at all.


WiFi+Cellular models of iPad Pro M4 have Cellular hardware, but only have an embedded eSIM.


Don't forget, WiFi Only models do not have any GNSS/GPS capabilities with which to derive precise location. WiFi+Cellular models do have GNSS/GPS hardware, but you don't need to have an active Cellular plan to use this functionality. As such, if you intend to use Apps that require precise location, such as moving map displays, they won't provide full functionality without GPS location.
