Hi.

I bought a used ipad pro 9.7. The last owner said it was used for about 6 months for just taking notes in class. I just received it and it looks and seems to function perfectly, but I had a few questions.

1.). I was looking to buy a wifi only one and thats what the owner said it was. When I got it, I was suprised that the box said wifi+cellular. I wanted to know if I actually have a cell plus wifi one or just wifi. I can't read the back of the tablet since it has a skin. Any other way to tell?

2.). Never had a cell tablet. Shouldnt I be seeing some cell related config in settings? I don't see anything related to cell.

3.). I am really disappointed in the battery life. Stand by time is very good but battery life when using it for basic stuff is low. It is less than my ipad air 1 that I have. How can that be? Do cell based tablets have less battery life than wifi only, even if cell is not being used?

The most obvious setting is in Settings->Cellular if that is there it has cellular. Otherwise the guy happened to have a cellular box lying around and used it.

Battery life can be different between models, especially with bright screen settings, background update settings and usage differences. Yes cellular can have a lower battery life as they connect to two networks at the same time.
