Dang it. Wish I would have had my mini with me this morning at work. Just ordered Wi-Fi + Cellular 64GB - Green and delivery is pushed out to Nov 10-17... this morning it was Oct 23 🤦‍♂️ Not sure the $130 credit for my mini is worth the three weeks lol

Is the green the exact same green as the iPhone 12 green?

The pro is easily $130 better.

that $130 has more potential for savings/accessories.

Has the price gone up on the base model? I thought the Air was $499?

That was many years ago for iPad Air 1 and maybe 2. I think maybe the 2 was 549

Anyone know if these support magsafe like the iphone 12?

Not inexpensive but may be a worthy tool.

I have not read or heard of any wireless charging capabilities. That would be cool tho.

I was going to pull the trigger on an iPad 11” Pro but now I’m tempted to get the Air instead.

I might just wait until the Pro gets bumped specs hopefully early next year.

I wouldn't count on it, the colors never match.

That’s in the previous design cycle with touchID home buttons. The new design cost a lot more. Also, dollar inflation is very high this year.

What's your point? You said the price of the old iPad Air's went up "many years ago" - it didn't. The iPad Air 1, 2, and 3 were all $499 at launch.

Got the shipment text this morning. Headed my way from China, delivery expected on the 4th. One week earlier than previously predicted--no complaints. Guess it's time to start with the accessories ordering...
