iPad Pro Can anyone with a iPad Pro Cellular model test something for me?

When you turn off cellular, does it disappear from the menu bar entirely or does it stay?

 

[sparksd]

Yes, it does.

 

[StraightHit]

Yes, it does.

Ok so by using wifi instead, I will only see the wifi bars, not the cellular dots or bar right? It won't even say "No connection" with regards to cellular or any of that?

Right.

Right.

Ok cool. I just bought it for the GPS since I often can sit in the car for hours on end, and I would like to use GPS from time to time to see where I might be (I realize names won't show up but it will at least show me in what part of the state I am in)

Use an app like maps.me that has downloadable maps for almost the whole world. It really is excellent for when a connection of any kind is unavailable. I use it here in the US and used it in Europe last year.

Doesn’t look like signal bars will go away anyhow. Mine still stay despite turning off mobile data in control centre. I’m using esim so removing SIM card isn’t an option for me.

This may be unrelated, but if you are worried about using mobile data by accident, can't you turn off data while roaming?

Interesting. I've got the 10.5 Pro with Apple Sim Embedded -

and the bars/indication go away with cellular turned off.

On Air 3 with eSIM, it does go away for me.

It goes away for me also, Mini 5 with a SIM card. Unless it is different on the Pros / with a different OS version.
