256GB green on the way.
Can’t wait to ditch my Air 3 - been having touch sensitivity issues with it (original and replacemen) the whole time. Only Apple device I’ve ever had any kind of issues with, so I’m not worried about the next version - Plus, it’s GREEN!
Seriously, though, the new Pro-like design looks fantastic.
Now just need Apple to bring back Midnight Green fer the iPhone 13 next year. 🤞🏻🤞🏻

I hear you, lot's of Blue Christmas' 🙃 I did have two red phones in a row and was okay with that. The white versions wear on me the quickest though... I may go green for the iPad and blue for the phone.
Gray, 256, cellular, #2 pencil, Oct 23. I'm a new author and ready to rock. Looking forward to hearing everyone else's special uses for their new Apple products.
I usually buy the weird new color ... but then I put it in an otter case, and no one can see what color the phone is anymore.
Bough the pro instead 
Once I crunched the numbers for 256gb storage the air is grosely overpriced compared to the pro, especially when the pro's going to perform better.

The screen goes from edge (of one bezel) to edge (of the other bezel)? So then aren't all apple products... and in fact all screens of any sort... "edge to edge"?

Thank you!
Well my iPad Air will be here the 23rd. And my wife said she will get me the pencil for Christmas, not sure I can wait that long 😳
This is a good product to wait for discounts on (if you're able to).
iPads get so many discounts over time (and sometimes sooner than one would think) from all the resellers out there, particularly with Black Friday and holiday sale season almost upon us.

True.
Or get a 'student' to order it for you through the educational site which is 10% off regular price.
Most retailers won't discount any more than that.
I probably would have been sold on the Iphone 12 if they had included Touch ID on the power button like they did with the Ipad Air. Such a missed opportunity, especially in the time of Covid and face masks. I might get the new Ipad Air mainly because of this feature.
That is the one thing I'm super bummed about (lack of TouchID on iPhone 12's).
I'm in for a new one anyhow at this point, but only because they finally made something I can tolerate size wise coming from my 2016 iPhone SE.
I still love my SE, but it's time for a better camera at this point. I wish they would have kept the SE in the 5/5s form factor and just done some spec bumping (instead of making an "SE" out of the 6/7/8 chassis - yuck)
Oh well - just happy to see the iP12 Mini exists at all!
Different animals.
The Air has a larger screen, true-tone, A14, 2nd gen pencil compatibility, 12MP camera (vs 8 on iPad), USB-C, laminated and anti-reflective P3 screen....
The Air is vastly superior to the latest standard iPad.
If one can wait...Air's will be on sale in November/December from resellers - I promise you
Make sure to get it from the EDU store, it starts at 549. They don't check or verify any type of status.
I had all sorts of trouble ordering my blue - WiFi & Cellular 256Gb and Applecare plus. Took until 5:08am (USA PDT) to actually get on then as I progressed through the order it bombed out at various stages and I had to start over again each time. It also kept on bombing out in various parts of the trade-in valuation section. I was concerned that the blue model would be soon sold out so I gave that away and just put in my order.
Received email notification at 5:33am that order successful and delivery date of 27-28th October to Australia. At a not insignificant cost of $1428 Australian dollars. Sheesh! Looking forward to receiving it to replace my 2014 iPad Air that is a bit long in the tooth. Hope it was worthwhile getting up in the middle of the night to order and that the delivery date does not get pushed out further than quoted.
Have a silver Brydge Keyboard waiting in my study to attach. Got it on special at $70 below list. Has back shell and I don’t care that it is not blue as you won’t see much of the iPad anyway except for the outer rim.
