My 128 cellular just changed from 27-29 October to 31 October-04 November. So not only did it move back, the window got even more vague. At this rate my Kindle Voyage will be here first.
My Apple page is still saying Syncreon, but through trial and error of various couriers, I found out it was UKMail
Crikey steve-p, that is quite a push back. When did you place the order? This is what gets me, the shop is still saying 2-4 days bar the 128 which says 4-6. That is already pushing you beyond that even if it was a new order. The weekend doesn't help like but still....
Drifted past Covent Garden Mac Store at 8am this morning - would normally have expected to see a huddle and a pile of boxes at the back at least, but no activity - looks like in-store date is not today. First time pre-orders have ever arrived before in-store availability?
Hmmm. Ordered same time, confirmed 16:05 and so far still 22nd to 24th for my SG 64GB Cellular. Still processing though. Looks like they move the day before delivery.
It was the odd online preorder time that caused me to miss it by a few minutes - which I was OK with as I had a 22nd-24th delivery estimate...As of this morning, https://www.apple.com/uk/retail/ is stating the iPad Air 2 is "now available" at the Apple Retail Store ("*supplies may be limited").
There's no reservation system or details on whether the cellular models will be available but I'm going to my local store this morning. If they have the cellular models I'll be cancelling my web order (obviously).
Have to say I'm disappointed with the roll-out of the new iPad no announcement of the launch date, odd online preorder time, inconsistent delivery estimates, etc..

However, now that estimate was revised to 28th-30th, I'm not all that happy.
Reviews today saying the battery life is not as good, which was one of the main things I loved about the older iPads.
The Apple Retail store website changed this morning to state "now available". Was "available soon" yesterday. Unless it's a glitch, it's today. This is a very soft launch, it seems. I wonder if it has anything to do with cellular models coming a few days later.
I'm after the cellular version.Battery still over 10 hours.
Cancel the order and get it from John Lewis.
They are doing 2 year warranty and next day delivery.

Mine is now out for delivery, I've no idea who is delivering it though.![]()
I just used trial and error, putting my delivery number into couriers that Apple use until I found my order (with UKMail)
Mine's out for delivery, should be here between 14:22 and 15:22
My order still says Processing.
John Lewis are selling iPad Air 2's with next day delivery for an extra £6, delivered tomorrow.
And you get 2 years warranty.
