Does it though? Handling iPhone orders and shipments is demanding enough. I don't really see why they would want to do a new iPad on the very same day too. Supposedly it's to protect the secrecy of the A14 chip, but the benchmarks for it already leaked like a week ago. And there there's also the rumours about stores having already received promotional materials and possibly even shipments of the Air 4 itself about a week ago...

I guess we'll know the truth soon.
That's what i thought but with Apple these days, who knows what they plan to do.

As I mentioned above, this happens for the entire Apple Store site on the morning of every event. I'm afraid it doesn't necessarily mean that the status of the Air 4 is changing today.
the entire store is not down - just sections where there will be new products availability such as iPhones and iPad Air.

well...hmmm...I'm pleased with myself that I didn't scream and curse about them not giving any insight to products that are introduced about a month ago...
In other news, I've pretty much come to a conclusion that LIDAR IS going to play big roles in iOS updates to come...I was hoping that they weren't going to just go a different direction and ignore that tech integration.

Steve Jobs wouldn’t let this happen. First with AirPower, then Mac Pro, now with iPad Air.

Never arrived, super late, and prob gonna be late.

At this rate, I’m just expecting apple to release it on 31st October at 11:59pm. How are you going announce a product that’s essentially the face of the iPad range and not give a release for it yet all the other products have one...

I guess I'm keeping my 11in iPad Pro, tomorrow is the last day to return it
Lol. I bought an air 3 hoping for a sale when the air 4 came out...because I actually assumed it’d be coming out ??.

I have until the 23 to return it or price match. Come on apple.

At this point I'm starting to think that maybe there is some kind of production uncertainty after all. I can't think of a single reason why they still won't even give a date otherwise.

Maybe that’s why it’s called the AIR. This is crazy ? I want my iPad Air already! ?
