iPad Functions as an LTE Hotspot for over 25 Hours

Apparently, the new iPad isn't just the best tablet on the market, it's also the best LTE hotspot. The iPad can function as an LTE hotspot for 25.3 hours straight, sharing a WiFi connection using the LTE network. Compare that to the LTE hotspot from Samsung, which can only last 216 minutes, or a little over three and a half hours. However, the Samsung hotspot is just $49 with contract, and the base model LTE iPad is $629. Of course, it goes wiout saying that you get a lot more than a hotspot with the iPad. In fact, unless you're sharing your hotspot with other people, it's hard to believe that anyone would use their iPad as a hotspot instead of using the LTE network for their iPad. Still, it's good to know that in a pinch, the iPad makes an amazing LTE hotspot, outlasting even devices specifically made for the function.
