There hasn't been any delay. They said it would be available in October. It's only October 7th. The month has 31 days. If it's still not available on November 1st, then we can talk about delays.
The announced in September but didn't make it available for sale or pre-order yet, only said it is coming in October. I imagine it is partly to do with not wanting to reveal too much about the A14 until the iPhone 12 is announced. I suspect we'll know the pre-order date on October 13th when the iPhone 12 is announced.
I understand. Lots of people are looking forward to this release, but all Apple said was that it would be available in October, and there's still more than 3 weeks left in October, so...
Just to be clear — i was asking if there were shipping problems from China or elsewhere, or other problems with the Air. Not when. Automatic Apple and Zazoh have provided likely answers.
There's no reason to think that there's any problem though. Apple revealed the Air 4 just 3 weeks ago and promised an October release. A product like this would have been in mass production well before that. They wouldn't have promised a release "next month" when it was already half way through the current month if the supply line wasn't secure. That would have included taking covid into account.
Hello, just picking this up as I've been waiting for my iPad for quite a while - are there any known issues with delivery?
It's a Ipad Air (2020) Space Grey 4G + Cell that I'm waiting for. I ordered it on 25 October, and here we are approaching 25th December and still with an 'unknown' delivery date. I'm in Denmark if that makes any difference..

That's weird. It should definitely have shipped by now. I ordered one on December 9th (Green, 256, WiFi), and it arrived the 16th, with an original promise for the 22nd. Is it possible something with your payment was off, credit card being declined or something? Definitely no general shipping delay...
Sorry to hear that!
I ordered one for my dad, 64 gig wifi and it's showing a delivery date of Dec 17-22. It's now changed to preparing for shipping. I'm hoping it does arrive before the 25th. I haven't seen anything changing the delivery date since I ordered it on Dec 5th.
Did you order by Dec 11th (assuming US)? If yes, you should be safe: https://www.apple.com/shop/gifts/holiday-shipping
Also, Apple really has it figured out how to meet delivery dates, I bet you'll be safe!
