I've never understood why a multibillion dollar company has to turn off their website completely to sell a few new products anyway. Maybe 10 years ago. Surely by now it's just a ritual performed in the name of maintaining the RDF.

I never really understood it either. I guess it just makes things more dramatic? Apple has a flare for the dramatic.
 
Again Apple fails.

Apple fails? I am pretty sure they are doing this completely on purpose to avoid the onslaught they usually have to deal with. I suspect that at some random time during the day, preordering will begin without any further announcements. Possibly even without the Apple Store going down beforehand.

All of the people refreshing constantly to try to order would do the same type of damage, this is usually how denial of service attacks work.
 
I put this thread on instant notification and I'm hoping someone here will alert me because I can't do the constant refreshing
 
Go back to bed you damn junkies.

That's what I am doing.
Grabbed the air at walmart last year on release day.
Looks like I will have to do the same this year.
:p

Unless the sale starts during the day tomorrow.
 
while we're here...any read need for 128 GB? On my iPhones, I always get 64 GB and usually have at least 30% available, often more
 
This is a joke, is it?
Apple said - available for pre-order 17th... Obviously not Midnight, so what time for FS...!
Looks like too many ********s working working for Apple these days...
I guess this would be YET another Apple **** up....!!!!
What have happened to Apple..? What a shame...

It only says October 17th on the site. Maybe they meant in 2015 :p

I always get the 128GB but that's cause I have tons of music and lots of games that are several gb each. I also like to store HD movies and tv shows that take up a bunch of space. Otherwise I'd say 64gb is plenty for most people. My 128GB 6+ only has like 5GB free space left :(
 
same here, I am waiting for the iPad Air 2.

few things:
1. so far the "buy" page is different from the "Buy" page of old iPad air.
2. Unable to buy. The "Select" button is dimmed.
