iPad Air 3 Problems

Are you asking when the manufacturing date will be?
I've found that the manufacture date can vary wildly from one store to another.
At my local BestBuy I'm more likely to find older dated Apple products but at my nearest Apple Store, the volume they sell is so high that I'm bound to get a device with a very recent manufacture date.
It may also be worth it to note that I'll go to BestBuy when they have sales (and they're probably trying to move older stock).

It has been my experience that buying on Apple's on store page that you get a very recent manufacture date. But I live in California near Los Angeles. Especially for non-standard configurations - I've had many of them ship directly from China.

Buying an Apple product is not a lottery.
You have at least 12 month guarantee on Apple products, sometimes 24, depending on where in the world you live. So if you buy it straight from Apple and find there is anything wrong with it, you can always swap/repair it for free during your warranty period. Enjoy your new iPad! ✌️[automerge]1593280018[/automerge]

FWIW, we have just received an iPad Air 3 which was ordered on 8 June and it was built in May 2020 (21st week of the year). 🖐

There's a bit more to the warranty than that. Apple has to agree that the defect or issue is covered under the warranty after careful inspection and diagnosis. It's Apple's decision whether to repair or replace it if the issue is covered.Buying an Apple product is not a lottery.

Understood, if there are signs of physical damage to iPad’s screen/body or water dripping out of it. I believe the OP was more concerned with their iPad developing some hardware issues “out of the blue”.
