You have identified an iPad7 - which, if a WiFi+Cellular model, has both an eSIM and a slot for physical SIM.


Be aware that if your iPad was purchased from a Cellular Carrier, the iPad may be subsidy-locked to that Carrier - and as consequence you may be unable to use the iPad with other networks unless you have the iPad unlocked by the Carrier (this often requiring payment of a small fee). Some Carriers may also disable the eSIM.


By contrast, if the iPad was purchased directly from Apple, the iPad will be fully unlocked - and both the physical SIM and embedded eSIM will be available for use.
