    Hi everyone,

    I'm heading to California for the summer and intend to buy an iPad mini while I'm over there.
    Does anyone know if they are region locked in any way or if this might cause problems in the App Store or anything when I get back to Ireland?

    Thanks!

    I wouldn't imagine so, just use the Irish store locale and you should be set.

    I got the Ipad in the States about 3 years ago when i went over there.

    And No it was not Region Locked.. I got the 3g & Wifi 64 Gb Ipad.. Once you buy it in the Apple Store you should be Save,

    Same goes with the Iphones buy them Sim Free in the Apple Store. you can use any Sim

    I was going to get a WiFi one without the 3G so there shouldn't be any problems with sims hopefully

    Well Wifi doesn't use any sims so you are in the clear there, 3G variants may be region locked but that won't apply to you
