Apple’s brand-spanking-new sixth-get iPad is available and is now available in retail stores as of Friday, thereby allowing customers to check the stock of their local Apple Store and schedule an in-store pickup if desired.
A stock check using the in-store pickup option suggests the new iPad is readily available at most Apple Stores in the United States, with plenty for walk-in customers who want to snag one of the affordable new tablets or check one out before purchasing.
The iPad is priced at $329 and up and arrives in 32GB and 128GB configurations, with both WiFi only and WiFi + Cellular options available. The tablet is available in Silver, Space Gray, and a new shade of Gold.
Apple first announced the sixth-gen iPad at its education event in Chicago on Tuesday and began taking orders for the device on that day. The new iPad is the first iPad model, save for the iPad Pro, to offer full support for the Apple Pencil. The tablet also arrives with an upgraded A10 Fusion processor along with a Retina display. Compared to the iPad Pro, the unit is lacking several advanced display options like ProMotion technology, True Tone, wide color support, and more.
Customers who purchased an iPad earlier this week should be seeing deliveries soon, as the tablets have been shipped out and are set to be delivered starting today.
Stay tuned for additional details as they become available.
