Come Friday, you should be able to snag an iPad Air from an Apple Store retail location.
Per 9to5Mac and MacRumors, Apple will offer Personal Pickup for the iPad Air beginning on the November 1st launch date according to anonymous sources. When the Apple Online Store goes live on November 1st at midnight Pacific Time (3 AM EST), customers will be able to order iPad Airs to be shipped to their addresses…
With Personal Pickup, the new tablets will be able to be reserved for pickup at their local Apple Retail Store. There’s also been some unconfirmed chatter inside Apple retail that Apple has considered putting the iPad mini with Retina display up for pre-order on November 1st, but plans certainly will change due to the device’s supply constraints. Apple has so-far said that the iPad mini with Retina display will become available later in November.
Stay tuned for additional details as they become available.
