I'm sorry, but I'm confused. Excuse my denseness on this one.

The question is why get a cellular iPad if you can just turn hotspot on your phone and connect to the Internet that way.

I used to do that, but it does use more battery in both devices that's why I won't buy a WiFi only model again.
 
128GB Space Grey WiFi. Ordered at 11:12 EST.

Still Processing Items for the iPad. Though, my cover did ship last night.

Delivery dates still showing 23-27.
 
I just ordered an Air 2 gold 64GB right now. It looks like times are indeed slipping. I hope it comes before the 28th. :mad::(


Available to ship: 2-4 business days
Delivers: Oct 24 - Oct 28 by Standard Shipping
 
I just ordered a 64 gb wifi silver and it is the 27-29 but says available to ship in 2-4 business days. I hope it ships Monday. I ordered it Saturday morning about 11 am. I wanted to make sure my Air was sold before I ordered.

I experienced the same problem when I initially came to nyc 4 years ago. Every since then I just pony up the cash for a cellular device. Im going to try out tmobile for a change. If its good I will keep using it.
 
Minds is currently "preparing for shipment" with the same dates, preordered from At&t..not even 24 hours ago.

AT&T has always been really conservative with their shipping dates. I ordered an iPhone 6 about a week after launch and it said a 3 to 4 week shipping estimate and it was shipped that night.

Nice. How much did you sell it for ?

Is this an Apple or an AT&T status?

I just checked my apple order and still unchanged.

Not sure if they work weekends to prepare items for shipping first thing monday. Would make sense, everyone gets some overtime and customers get their orders sooner.
 
QUESTION: what do I do if I won't be home the day my iPad arrives??? I know I have to sign, so if Im not home what will happen???
 
My 128GB Gold WiFi + Cellular iPad Air 2 is still processing. My CC might have been charged, though.

Then unfortunately you'll have to wait till the next delivery attempt to sign or you can reschedule the delivery to a day you know you'll be home.

I pre ordered mine through a very good friend at a local AT&T corporate store.
