By the way, can I just say that I am really loving this iPad?
The form factor, the display, the performance... This is pretty much everything I've ever wanted in an iPad!

Samesies. Been an Apple user for some time but this iPad air 4 is my first iPad. Why did I wait so long to get one?!?!
Better late than never!
TBH I thought iPads were pointless when they first came out. Just thought they were like having a giant phone. Four years later, I was won over and wouldn’t dream of not having one.
My case for the Air is supposed to arrive today, but I probably won’t have the iPad itself until next week. Really anxious.
Really enjoying my new Air 4 - a huge upgrade from my old 1st gen Air 
Screen looks great, speakers sound good (2 is enough), TouchID works really well, fast, and is conveniently placed for left index finger when in landscape orientation. Though I still do catch myself trying to press a non-existant home button with my right thumb... Still getting used to iPad OS 14 and multitasking features my old Air didn't support. Pencil works well - yes there's some tiny lag (surely better with iPad Pro at 120Hz), but seems perfectly fine for my use. I like how tapping on the lock screen with the pencil immediately puts you into the Notes app.

The Air 4's folio case, like the Pro's, doesn't cover the top, bottom, or side that the Pencil attaches to.
Works fine.

I was playing Pubg Mobile on my iPad Air 3 without any lag. Yesterday I bought the new iPad Air 4 and was expecting a much better performance but somehow even on lower graphic settings than on my iPad Air 3 there was a lag during the gameplay. At first I thought there is something wrong with my iPad and tried the game on my friends iPad Air 4 but the experience was the same. I really don't understand how this game is so bad on a new device with much better hardware.
Maybe the app needs to be optimized for the new device.
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.
It’s like that with every product release. I’m all for returning a device if you’re not happy with it, but some people seem intent on finding reasons not to be happy. Even coming from an Air 3, the Air 4 is amazing, if you ask me.
Yeah, and I’ve come from an iPad Pro 10.5 with supposedly better display, more speakers and better camera, none of which I made much use of or have missed whatsoever since I got my Air 4 last week.
I’m absolutely delighted with it, it’s so much nicer to use.
Yeah, that is silver lol
The light blue looks silver in certain lighting....but you can still tell it has a hint of blue. I don't see a hint of blue at all in your pic.
When I went to Best Buy and Costco it was very evident their model was blue. This has no blue in it at all. I started a return so I’m sure I won’t see the correct iPad for four weeks or longer now
If the screen is nice, i would stick with the silver one. The blue looks like silver anyways.
Sky Blue model numbers for the non-LTE models are MYFQ2LL/A (64GB) and MYFY2LL/A (256GB).
They should appear in the Settings/About, and on the box.
If those things are as expected, but still don't jibe with what you have, it could either be a production error, or gross inconsistency in the anodizing process. I would not be shocked by either, given the current strains on Apple's production.
Colors can vary from batch to batch, but should not by that much.
Model number is what you say buts it’s def silver. There’s no blue here at all. I know it subtle but I can see it when I look at it at the store and it’s evident it’s blue there
