Apple’s newest iPads may bring glad tidings to travelers. For, they include the Apple SIM, which will help you avoid extravagant charges while traveling abroad. With the Apple SIM, you will be able to select a short-term plan from a variety of carriers right in the iPad's settings area. That means, you will be able to easily select a carrier that will provide your WIFI needs in the most cost-effective manner - including a local carrier - without needing to replace physical SIM cards.

From the article, though, it is tough to know exactly what you will get day one with your new iPad. For, Apple is rolling this feature out with the non-promise of "you may" be able to choose a plan from a carrier in the country you are traveling in.

So - is this exciting? Yes - maybe. It is definitely worth investigating.
