I would think so as well especially if only to prevent their store from being slammed with orders.
Imagine if both iPad Air 4 and iPhone 12's are available for pre-order right after the announcement on Tuesday? That might bring the site to a crawl!
Got a tip for us?

I don't think is has much to do with the X being a tentpole item. Simply the way Apple does things after a keynote. Product pages and pricing go live even if it's not available to order yet.
Wasn't the Magic Keyboard announced in March and only became available for order in April?
I don’t know. That wasn’t a launch that I followed. ?
I think you’re right though. Once they announce something it gets a page. I just don’t how many times there’s been a page but no release date or ability to order for an extended period of time.
Right now, I think Apple's just prioritizing iPhone manufacturing. Even with reduced demand, I expect iPhones still sell millions more than iPads.
My typical use includes comics so I'll be going for 256GB LTE. Will probably wait for a discount though.
I might be out of place here on this question as I only have a Air2 and obviously my habits might not match yours.
But ever since I got my device I always vowed to NEVER have another 64GB device again. I have lots of pictures and use my iPad for surfing the Internet and social media. It just always seems like I’m deleting something or choosing to not download something simply because I know it’s too much. And it wasn’t like this from day 1. It took a year or 2 for me to want more space.
I think Apple knows what they’re doing with the pricing and that some repeat customers will pay anything to get out of the 64GB hole lol. That’s why it isn’t 128 starting space.
Personally if you have the money I suggest future proofing.
It's super pricey IMHO. It puts you within 10% of the 11 inch iPad Pro (albeit with just 128GB).
But yes, if I get the new Air I'll go 64GB, I use iPads for work, study, reading, notes, email, training etc. but most info resides in various cloud storage services etc.
Correct! „Otto Versand“ started the pre-sale on 22nd Sep and I ordered early in the morning. I am VIP customer of this shop and get 10% discount ...
I currently alternate between Air 3 256GB and Pro 10.5 512GB for primary use. The Air 3 is pretty much filled with manga and only has around 50GB free. The Pro 10.5 has the same content as Air 3 plus some videos and has around 80GB free.
Lol, if I go for 11-in Pro I won't be able to stop at 256GB. I'll be compelled to go all the way to 1TB. Which I will eventually get but the priority right now is 12.9 1TB (hopefully 5G).
Would love it if they dropped today. I really can't decide between the Space Grey or Silver colour though.
I originally said green, then decided I was just reacting to everyone loving blue and actually I wanted blue, and two days ago I was back to green - so I have no idea!
I initially liked the new blue colour but looking at it now, it’s far too light in colour and with an official iPad Air leather case on it, you’ll barely be able to see the colour anyway so I‘m now going for Space Grey!
I agree. I think the Silver looks so smart and premium, but always like a Space grey device, and my MacBook Pro is Space Grey too.
The official Apple 2020 iPar Air case on its website (which also currently shows as unavailable).
Isn’t that just a Smart ”cover” though? Or am I completely wrong?
My air 2 had a smart case where the iPad sat completely down inside it and it was the bomb.
It's a folio case. It secures magnetically to and covers the back, while the cover protects the front. It's overpriced, but its so sleek and functional that I'll probably get one.
