Original Title: I bought my ipad air 6 11in wifi only last 14 June 2025. my mom wanted to upgrade and make it cellular, can i still do it?
iPad Air, iPadOS 18
The only way to make any iPad cellular-capable is to buy it that way; there is no separate upgrade after purchase. You would have to exchange your WiFi-only iPad for a cellular model. That could have been done during the first 14 days, as Zachyy and Johnathan Burger said (assuming you bought it directly from Apple).
At this point, the best you could do would be to buy a new cellular-capable iPad (or whatever model fits your needs now). Depending on how you purchase the new one, you might be able to trade your current iPad in for credit against the purchase, or you can sell it on the open market. (Don't expect to get back everything you paid for it either way. It is now used gear.)

No. Apple stopped selling the iPad Air 6th generation in March of this year which is the newest your iPad could’ve been, but still you are way beyond the refund and exchange period, which typically is 14 days.
You bought it today?
If purchased directly from Apple you have 14 days to return for a full refund.
If you have an iPhone, and your carrier supports the Mobile Hotspot feature, you might be able to use your iPhone to provide cellular service to your iPad.

The iPhone would appear to be a Wi-Fi router to the iPad – and would relay packets to and from the Internet using its own cellular data connection.
Can I upgrade my iPad Air from Wi-Fi only to cellular?
