An American iPad in China

Aloha,


I live in Hawaii. I would like to purchase a new iPad in a few weeks. However, I will be moving to China in about two months.


Will my American purchased iPad still work in China? It's an iPad Gen 6.


If so, will I need to just purchase a new charger for it once I get there at Apple China?


Thank you for your advise.

iPad mini, iOS 9

Would it work? It depends what you are specifying.


WiFi works the same between both countries. Cellular I'm not sure about, you'll need to contact your cellular provider if its a cellular model.


Specific American websites are banned in China (youtube, etc.) Other than that, it should work as normally. And yes, buy that adapter.
