Cover, yes. Case? Probably not, it's a bit thicker than the iPad mini 1st gen.

I can't *believe* these lazy developers keep making file sizes so damn large. Btw, how does technology work?
Can anybody give some input on doing the iPad Air on AT&T NEXT?
I know for actual cell phones, it's kind of an abysmal deal. But I didn't know they offered it for iPads.
With the iPad, I'm positive I want to upgrade every year. So I can sign up - pay not a penny now - and have 12 payments of $31.50. That's a total of $378. I then trade in the device when the new one comes out in a year, and I get the new one (assuming it's the same price) for another 20-month contract, with the option to upgrade in 12?
Do you have to have data the whole time? I do anyway, just curious....

After reading this I went to the AT&T site and read the little NEXT blurb on the iPad page. I must be missing something here. That sounds a little too good to be true. They still have 'initial device cost' as 199, so they must be mistakenly using the phone copy on that page.

I'm almost 99% sure they'll require you to have a tablet data plan attached to the iPad, so you might want to add that to your costs.
Yep

ugh..now I'm questioning it too.

...hate me...
Why the hell Apple got rid of slate. Best color of all time bar none. It would be a no-brainer for me if I were a buyer this year.
Well, at least it helps me hold dearly onto my 2012 iOS devices (5 and mini).

If it's anything like the mini last year you will just be able to reserve one at Argos/Currys/PC World no problem.
Was stock adequate to cover demand on day one for those then? Never paid attention to these things before.
Very easily for the three and four.
There were queues outside of the Apple stores, but I just went to the Argos three doors down and I there were maybe... three people there at opening time?

Yes. I got my Mini from the local Currys at like 4pm. They still had stacks, too.

For those that bought the iPad at midnight last year on bestbuy.com, if you did in store pickup where you really guaranteed a copy?
Because what if there is a big line? I doubt they're going to just turn people away who were waiting

Have any of you folks used Gazelle in the past? How long from delivery of a device is it until they pay out?
Good to hear. I'm thinking John Lewis might be best (DAT 2 year warranty)

I've had them pay out within a week or so.
Back in Nov of 2012 I sold them my old iPhone 4.
Got shipping information/instructions on 11/22
Shipped out that day
Received notification that box was received by Gazelle 11/27
Received notification that box was opened on 11/28
Received notification that iPhone was checked out good on 11/29
Received payment via PayPal on 11/30
If you request a check it would probably take longer I imagine

is the mini available too tomorrow or just the big boy
Anyone find some good cases for the iPad Air?
Is the official Apple case very protective? (In general I feel as if the official Apple cases usually do not protect you any more than the iPad itself does from drops, but I have never tried the iPad Smart cases.)
I want to buy an iPad Air and a good case, but I hate that it takes a while for the good cases to come out....

Only the Air. Retina Mini in a couple or few more weeks (no hard date yet).
But I want it !!!!

Ok, great. Good to know. My payment is coming through PayPal, so hopefully that moves things along as well.

Looks like Target price matched Walmart's iPad Air 16GB $479 price online. No other models have a price reduction.

Damn. Was really hoping for a $579 32GB model.

Thinking of selling my 4 to get a retina mini. I love the full size ones, but there are more and more situations where I find myself wishing it were a bit smaller.

Thinking about selling my iPad 3 and moving to a Mini Retina
The size seems better and the iPad 3 seems to reeaaaalllly be struggling with iOS7 and is starting to show its age

Stay strong, if I didn't already have the case I would have got white, just they don't make my favorite case in white

I was in the same boat. After seeing the hands on impressions of the Air, that pretty much put me over.

Called my Best Buy and they had a message playing that said they're opening at 8am for the iPad Air. Hopefully the midnight in-store pickup thing works.
Crazymoogle
Member
Damn. didn't think this would happen to me but I'm officially stuck in the "White or Black" decision-making deadlock. I guess it's because I've only ever owned the black model of any given iOS device...
Went to Best Buy today to check out the PS4 and trade in some games. While I was at the customer service desk I asked if we'd be able to buy the iPad Air online for in-store pickup tomorrow. The lady told me no (due to limited stock) and that they would open at 8 am for anyone who wants to purchase the Air.
She seemed pretty confident with her response...but I'll be up checking at midnight anyway.

ok i called walmart
for those wanting to go to walmart at midnight..just call and ask lol
Mine said they didnt have any yet, check back at 9 tomorrow morning. So my guess is they have them and just are gonna sell at 9 when they have more employees working. and they just arent doing a midnight sale.
So ill swing by at 9

Still no Verge review?
Apparently they're on Apple's shitlist and don't get pre-release hardware anymore.
