Yes just seen that, i'd been hoping they'd re-add the Air to the promotion in which case i'd have ordered one straight away as my 1st Gen AirPods are basically dead and would have been a good deal.
Got a tip for us?

This development is like a little fart compared to The iPhone. They should have released this a week ago.

Yeah, was disappointed too. One of the very few benefits of working at a university was the free stuff on Back to school deals, no luck this year.
For those who purchased an iPad and an iPhone this morning, anyone else notice the iPhone is coming standard delivery and the iPad is coming express delivery? ?
I'm not sold on the Blue. Went with Space Gray. Will be in a case. Not the same Blue as the new iPhones so I wasn't feeling it. But I get that it is the new color oooooh!
Just ordered mine mate for delivery on 23rd
Blue 256gb WiFi for me, looks like that blue colour is going to be backordered soonI think I’ll just get a clear back for something grippy, but to see the green. I rarely leave the house with the iPad, so something akin to a Smart Cover for the front isn’t necessary for me.
Instead of a processor that’s at least a year or two old you are getting the fastest CPU available. And instead of the initial offering having a ridiculously small amount of memory that almost everyone updates to a usable size it comes stock with enough to really use it (although still pretty small) with an upgrade to more than most need for an amount, for Apple, isn’t extreme. And the cameras are better but I don’t use my iPad to take photos but they are a better initial grade of camera than what used to be on an iPad just a couple of years ago.
I didn’t buy one but I talked my wife through buying hers this morning. Her battery is shot on her old one. Delivery is November 5th. No Apple store open here and my other options are Best Buy and Walmart, both of which I don’t want to support.
I am so confused about the iPad product lines - iPad Pro, iPad, iPad Air, iPad mini. Half of them use one pen or the other - but some not. Various chips and features. I need a matrix diagram
I am going to sit next to my door next Friday to hear the faintest sound of a delivery truck coming up my street to deliver my beautiful green iPad Air. Can’t believe they finally released. Betting it will be hell trying to preorder my iPhone 12 pro max.
IPad Pro has the most memory capacity. Right now the difference between an Air and the Pro are memory maximums, number of built in speakers and processor with the Pro having more memory and speakers (4) but the Air having the latest and greatest CPU. Unlike the Air 3 I think all of the peripherals like pens and keyboards and card readers that the Pro uses can also be used by the Air 4. There are other differences between the Air and a Pro but if you care about them then you probably use your iPad for work and know and care what those differences are, and you’d probably buy a Pro. If you just want a tablet with a very good amount of memory with the ability to do photo editing and maybe sound editing on a small scale and the latest CPU you want an Air 4. If your primary use is watching shows or browsing and very light game playing then an iPad is good and much cheaper. If you need something even less expensive go for the mini.

The Blue model seems to be the most popular.
If I order one now, the Space Grey, Silver or Green model would arrive on the 23rd. The Rose Gold between the 28th of October and the 2nd of November. But the Blue model wouldn’t arrive until the 3rd of November, at the earliest!

The Touch ID is built into the power button and can’t be covered by a protective button cover.
Kind of curious about deliveries. My wife ordered a Rose Grey an hour or so ago and got a delivery of November 5th. Maybe because she added an engraving?
If possible check your local Apple Store. While the blue isn’t delivering until November, I could pick it up on launch day at my local Apple store. May be worth checking there, and you can select pickup as an option in the Apple store app
