Apple Stores Receiving Large Quantities of iPad Air Stock Ahead of Friday's Launch

If that's right, which I think is, Apple isn't doing any major updates. So your guess might be spot on, then I see no real reason (apart from 2gb) to wait.
- 2GB: We'll just have to see what advantages that might have. It's not like the previous iPads are terribly slow and keep crashing. (except my 1st gen hehe)
- Touch ID is not something I couldn't live without, so I think it's not worth the wait.
- An iPad isn't something to make great photos with, better use a good camera for that. + the 5MP is just fine if you'll ever use it.
- Gold is not my color, so nothing there. ^^
Basically it all boils down to this: next year's iPad will be faster. Amazingly, that's true every year. So people can wait until 2050 to buy an iPad Nano or whatever, or you can just buy one now and upgrade again whenever you feel the need.
I'm buying a 32gb 4G iPad Air. I wish it weren't so expensive, but it is what it is.
The best part is that the computer wouldn't sell it to me!! But the clerk had a manager do some magic and I couldn't swipe my credit card and get out of the store fast enough!
I need that iPad at midnight come on Walmart sell it to me, sell it to me, sell it to me -Chris rock voice

Yep, these updates are never that significant, but Apple and the hype around them make it seem so.
I might update my 1st gen as it's annoyingly slow and I can't instal many apps because they need iOS6+.
Not sure though, I don't use my iPad that often, so it's become more of a toy than necessity.
Going to be soooooooo hard to decide between the Air and the Retina mini!
First world problems...
I know I have the 16GB iPad mini as well, don't know if I should get the Air for the bigger screen and the lightness or the mini with the retina screen. Weight was the biggest factor when I decided to get the mini. But know that isn't that big of an issue. Think ill have to compare them both in person and decide then.
They sold me one tonight!!
Lucky, I went to my wal mart to see if they had them out or not but know dice.
You're right. I should have clarified that it was really some models of the 5s that had very strained supply (gold).
32GB Space Gray Wifi for $599, I didn't want to push the $20 off in fear that they would realize they shouldn't sell it me...
Wow! Cool...
Now that you have a picture and likely a subpoena-able IP address on this site and twitter, can (will??)Apple security come after you and seize or make you forfeit the iPad Air?? Maybe some lawyers on the site can provide inputs on what Apple could do legally here, if anything?
so the person i spoke to told me they received shipments of ipads today, and they'd be available for purchase at midnight.
I'll be there at 6:30am with Starbucks in hand in my car with the heat on. Once more than 10 people get in line,then I'll get out the car
The ONLY reason I'm buying at best buy is because of there awesome rewards points. Buying a iPad air and a retina mini both from BB is a lotta points

If be ok with that, I did NOTHING wrong so I'd get a refund AND an awesome story. Also I feel that a couple people getting them early is not on Apple's radar
