Some providers charge a lot of money for exceeding your plan by small amounts of data, so here’s a guide to setting up limits on your Android device....

The Home App Make sure you are running iOS 10 or newer on your device, then tap on the Home app from your home screen. Tap “add accessory” to get started pairing a new smart home device.

Advantages of getting a WiFi-only iPad The most obvious advantage is the lower price. If you have access to a WiFi network most of the time, it makes more sense to get a WiFi-only model than a WiFi+3G model. For the 3G model, not only have you pay more for the device, there is also the 3G fee that you have to pay to your ISP. For me personally, I mostly use the Internet on my Mac because many times when it’s in use, I’m also utilizing other software like Photoshop or Xcode for example, something i can’t do as efficiently or even at all on an iPad....
