No, it's not. Play some music on your iPhone, then toggle the silent/ring switch. Does it mute your music?
I was able to get my pre-order in 6 or 7 minutes after the apple store came back on-line on 10/17 and my order has finally changed from "Processing Items" to "Preparing for Shipment". I would have hoped they had it shipped and delivering on the same day it's available in stores though.
If that is the case we need to contact Apple now over this mistake:

wait, what? Perhaps you should have kept reading before opening your mouth and putting your foot in....
When did I *ever* complain about my hand-me-down iPad in my post? You need to re-read it -- the whole thing. I did not complain at all. It was not meant to be a complaint but more a setup for the joke about how my wallet still hurts from my iPhone 6 purchase... you get this weeks major facepalm. Congrats!
For your information, the "hand-me-down" iPad 3 is one THAT I BOUGHT FOR MY WIFE for her birthday. It's been used by me, her, and our daughter. It's really a family iPad as my wife got one thru work and didn't have a need for her iPad 3 so she "handed it (down)" to me.
I really feel bad for you that you have such a pessimistic reaction to things you read -- so much so that you don't even finish reading them before spouting off. The term "hand-me-down" should NOT have a negative connotation to it whatsoever and, in my (obviously more optimistic) world, it is actually a GOOD thing. The majority of my stuff is 2nd hand. My wife is very active in the online garage sale sites and I buy a lot of stuff from Goodwill and Salvation Army. Not because I have to, not because I want to be trendy and I'm not a hipster, but because you can get some really cool and unique stuff on the second hand market that you can't buy new.
I think it's a very sad person who reads a phrase like "hand-me-down" and immediately concludes that it is a negative thing and the person posting is complaining. I bet that doesn't work well in real life either.
In closing I'd like to state that in my opinion, your hasty and incorrect reply to my post is the epitome of what's wrong with these forums.
Out freakin standing!!!!!! They just arrived at the Albany Apple Store 10 minutes ago.
128GB Gold. Weight change is barely noticeable. Screen doesn't look much different than my Air 1. No time to use it until later, so no comment on speed.

But then they can release an iPad Pro, so it would be:
MacBook Pro - big laptop
MacBook Air - smaller laptop
iPad Pro - big tablet
iPad Air - smaller tablet
iPad Mini - very small tablet
MacBook Mini anyone ?
A bigger iPad is the only reasoning I could come up with as soon as I heard the name "iPad Air" for the first time. Hopefully they rename the 27" iMac the iMac Air. I'm ready for a 32" model. lol.
Must be really confusing when someone walks into the apple store and asks for "the new ipad".
A very sound argument sir. All the correct format and points, well other than the rabid screaming through the internet all caps uber defensiveness. I imagine you'll get a B+ or A- for your paper. I assume this was simply the cliff notes, and you'll be turning in the full text for your grade.
Let us know how you like that class when its over.
Now just calmly reboot and move on.
I don't find the retina display on my wife's iPad Air worthy enough for the upgrade.
Now A8x chip and 2GB of Ram is a different story. But again,needs to optimize their iOS to take full advantage of the new power and speed.
The screen is so much better that it's usable vs unusable to me now. Seriously.
I'm sorry guys that Apple listen to me when I they asked if I ever used the mute button on my IPad and I said "NO" oops
Speaking of 'Wanna look at my brand new iPhone 6, the FIRST ONE EVER bought! Ooops!' boy, what happened? Did he break it, crack it, scratch it?
That was pretty epic...
I picked up an Air 2 tonight at the Apple Store. They did not have Air 2's or Mini 3's out yet.
Haha, I heard it was ok.
He SO lucked out. I'd've been heartbroken, were it me.
In two of the reviews I've read so far, the reviewer broke the unit!! Yikes... lol, I guess it's a bit different if it isn't yours. 1st Walt Mossberg dropped his iPhone 6 on concrete... then in one of the highlighted iPad Air 2 reviews this guy says he'll never take it hiking because it slid off a bench onto the concrete. Ugh. Remind me to transfer my AppleCare when I get mine on Friday, k?! ;0)
Safari on iPad Air 2
Can someone do a test and see if the multiple tab reloading problem is fixed with the 2 gigs of ram on Safari.

Has anyone in the US had their cellular iPad Air 2 ship? I ordered the 64gb space gray cellular on the 17th and it still shows processing!
What?
That's the best you've got?
You get called out for being presumptuous and the best you can do is a mock teacher-grading-an-assignment retort?
Class? Reboot? What the heck are you talking about?
Besides being presumptuous, now I just question sanity.... You screwed up. You assumed something and didn't even read the post before doing the internet equivalent of mouthing off. Put your foot in your mouth (so as not to use it any further) and move on. Also, try conceding to your mistakes every now and then. You'll get much further in your career (and life in general) when you gracefully admit to your eff ups.

The status on mine just changed in the past hour to shipped. I ordered the 128GB cellular space gray version direct from Apple witin a few minutes of when thy started taking orders. When I ordered, it said delivery would be October 27-29 and it still says that. I had hoped it would come this week. I've had Apple stuff arrive early before. But at least it's on its way and on time.
Just received my iPad Air 2 Gold
I HATE TO SOUND LIKE IVY... But it's amazing
The the build in speaker is terrible. The whole device rumbles and shakes when you go and turn it all up :-O
