Repost: Okay, so I finally received mine today. After two full weeks and preordered it on the 15th. The people that are saying they are taking their new Airs back or returning them. I think you are all ridiculous and you’re giving up a perfect device. To the people that had issues straight out of the box, I’m sorry and I wish you could experience this tablet already. The speakers don’t sound amazing but they are definitely better than they used to be. Touch ID works flawlessly. The display is the best LCD I’ve ever seen in my life, and the bezels aren’t that much larger. The people complaining about the bezels being too large must have insanely small hands. If anyone has any questions about it and are still waiting. I’ll be happy to reply.

The real question here is what color did you get?

Mine is on the truck and gonna be delivered today. I'm psyched.

I bought a MacBook Air at Best Buy in September and traded in my iPad Air 2 to get an additional $90 off. I quickly realized how much I miss the iPad when I got rid of it. I may end up selling my MacBook Air and just going with the iPad Air eventually. It'll really do all I need to do and I have a feeling I'll rarely turn the MacBook back on.

I am really tempted to cancel my order go pick one up at the Apple Store near me, but I'd rather wait for mine with the shiny engraving. :)

I ordered my 256GB Graphite directly from Apple on the 28th and have a delivery window of Nov. 18-23.....hoping that gets moved up yet. I am not heading into a store if they do get in stock early so will be waiting.

Yesterday I ordered a 256gb blue from Apple, and delivery range given is 12/4 - 12/9. Did anyone order from Apple recently, and if so how long did it take?

I placed an order with Apple on November 15, for a 256 gb iPad Air 4 (WiFi, blue, no engraving).
As of now, evening of November 24, it's still shows as "processing". I've been given a delivery date of Dec. 03 - Dec 09.
How it ships soon!

I just ordered an 8th gen base cellular iPad--not the latest iPad Air. I was given an estimated shipping date of Dec 17-24. I'm very surprised! I thought I could go to my local stores tomorrow to grab one!

Have you checked big box retailers? Maybe they are offering BF deals.

My 11/22 order was still in processing status when I canceled it on 11/24. I was able to pick up a green, WiFi Only, 256gb iPad Air at an Apple Store in Manhattan. I ordered it from the Apple Education store online, and I was able to pick it up the same day.
