"iPad WiFi + 4G" Name is Changed to "iPad W-Fi + Cellular"

"iPad WiFi + 4G" Name is Changed to "iPad W-Fi + Cellular" by Apple in Some countries.This is due to customer complaints regarding the use of the term “4G” after the launch of the new iPad a couple of months ago.

The new iPad, available in almost 90 countries, comes with “4G” networking capabilities, albeit only in some countries, and on selected carriers with support for LTE. Because of Apple’s initial marketing of the device as “4G” regardless of country availability, the company came under scrutiny from Australianand UK regulators, who claimed Apple was falsely advertising the iPad as “4G” and misleading customers without properly specifying such feature was dependent on carrier support.

In Australia, Apple was forced to change its marketing for the new iPad by stating on its website the device wasn’t compatible with Australian 4G networks. In spite of the iPad still working with 3G networks, however, Apple decided to keep the “WiFi + 4G” name even after the initial clarification. This appears to be changing now as the company rolls out an updated product name across all its international websites.
