Apple announced during the september 2020-event of iPad Air 2020 on, a brand new iPad with a renewed design that is very similar to the iPad Pro. Apple immediately announced the prices (available from €669), but the release date of the iPad Air 2020 got stuck on a vague ‘October’. Even after Apple’s iPhone 12event there has been no additional clarity. Rumor fanatic Jon Prosser claims now the actual release date of the iPad Air 2020 to know.
‘iPad Air 2020 release date is October 23, pre-order from 16th’
According to the source, Apple will open the doors of the iPad Air 2020 pre-order on October 16. That is simultaneously with the iPhone 12 and iPhone 12 Pro. The first deliveries will take place a week later, on October 23. That is also the same date as the iPhone 12 and iPhone 12 Pro.
That would therefore mean that you can order a total of three new devices from Friday, October 16. The pre-order of the new iPhones starts on Friday at 14:00 Dutch time, so it is likely that the new iPad Air can also be ordered from that moment. We also think other retailers will be taking orders for the new iPad Air from then on, although there are already a few stores where you can order the new model.
The iPad Air 2020 has a sleek design and comes in five colors, namely space gray, silver, rose gold, green and sky blue. It contains a fast A14 chip, the same as in the iPhone 12 series. The iPad Air 2020 no longer has a home button and thinner bezels, with a 10.9-inch display. A Touch ID sensor is incorporated in the power button.
