As to your original question, which country are you located in? This makes a difference as to what cellular data is available to you.

What school are you going to?

How old are you?


If you are in the US and are looking for an alternative provider you may get your wish in the future. In one of the most recent spectrum sales in the US, Google bought spectrum rights and have them available to develop an cellular network IF they wish to either put up cell towers or purchase space on existing towers. So you could by your data services from them in the future.


Spectrum sales are public so it is easy to check and find out that Apple has not participated in these auctions and owns no spectrum in the US. There were rumors they would do so but they did not. They could sign a contract with AT&T, Verizon, etc. to become an MVNO using their broadband but I think that is a remote idea. Too many competitors and they would be a cut-rate service. Not what Apple does.

Apple is not a wireless service provider at all.


They simply are not in that business.


When you buy a computer, then company that made the computer does not provide the electricity for that computer to run or the internet service.


When you buy a television, the company that made the television does not provide the signal/cable/satellite etc.


This is no different.

YOU are right...

... but then again, SO AM I.


I'm pretty sure everybody here now thinks of you solely as crazy. And no, you are wrong. Perception is NOT reality in this case. There are many things in this world and this life that are indeed universal, hard realities - regardless of what you or anyone else may think of them. People who use that phrase a lot are simply often far too timid to actually face those realities.
