When will new iPads be available in Apple stores?

"Middle of next week" is what they told me. They don't know for sure: they'll arrive when they arrive.
Just left Apple Store. They didn't even have the new iMacs which are already shipping. They said they usually get new things a few days after the announcement, so this week or next week.
It was a little dirty how they're not even advertising the new things in store. If you look at the iMac or iPad station they show the older models pricing info on the screens.

a lot of times, the regular Apple Store employee have no idea, even when the products are already sitting on the shelf in the backroom.
I remember it was iPad mini 3, or 4, the product released with a newer version of iOS, so the product will have to wait for that iOS build to be release. on the day of release, I called the stores, the person answered the phone told me "no, it's not available yet". but after I told him to check on the shelf on the back, he answered back "yes, we have them".
LOL, dirty? Why would want them to display demos that they don't have any in stock.
Besides, it's likely that they simply haven't received any new models, demos or stock for sale. So you want them to clear their tables with nothing on display?
It's not about having the old ones on display, but it's about selling something different in store than they're selling online. There's not even any indication that these are old versions.
Nice! I loved my 12.9 but found that is was just a bit oversized for the way I use the iPad throughout the day as I am away from home quite a bit with it. It never seemed to like airline seat-trays as much as the smaller iPads and was a bit cumbersome to type on while holding it unless i split the keyboard which was awkward for m.
I am curious, though. I never saw the 10.5 with a delivery date if ordered from Apple sooner than the 14th. Now ALL iPPs are slated for a June 16th delivery.
I wonder if this just signifies the typical high demand of launch products or a more realistic delivery date?
Hope for the high demand reasoning.
For the first quite a few hours after the store re-opened the delivery date is 13th. And now it's only been pushed back for 3 days means the supply isn't constrained.
Weird thing I just noticed - Most of the Cellular models actually have a delivery date earlier than the Wi-Fi only models. Shouldn't it be easier/quicker to get a Wi-Fi only model as less components needed, etc?
Could be that there is more demand on the wifi only model since it is cheaper
Possibly, but they could prioritise some more Wi-Fi chips planned for the Cellular models to be used for the Wi-Fi only model if they wanted to in order to fufill the extra Wi-Fi only sales and keep delivery times down.
Either way, the delivery dates aren't horrible yet (for once!)
I can't imagine that the amount of cellular iPads is more than 10%-15% of iPad sales at most; but hey, maybe i'm wrong.
Yeah, both my iPad orders are cellular and they are marked for the June 13th.
I've never had any issue ordering iPads whenever I wanted. I just pre ordered mine from bestbuy because A) store pickup and B) $25 dollar gift card. Also anti virus I could use on my windows laptop once my current sub ends.

I was at the Apple Store at closing last night. Here was my infuriating conversation:
Me- do you guys have the new iPads to look at or buy yet?
Apple- nope.
Me- any idea when you might be getting them in? Monday? Tuesday?
Apple- yeah probably by then
Me- oh, you don't know?
Apple- well we don't have them today and putting them out on the floor isn't on our close down list for tonight so we won't have them tomorrow either. These releases usually don't happen on weekend days so probably Monday or Tuesday. If you check back mid next week, they'll probably be here to look at. <shrug>
