The iPad Air 2 only recently started shipping with delivery dates of October 22nd and 23rd, and it appears the first devices have been delivered to Australian owners over the past few hours, as several 9to5Mac readers have tipped us. At least one device in the wild was tested on Geekbench recently, revealing some interesting undisclosed facts about Apple’s A8X processor.
iPad Air 2 buyers in the United States and other launch countries should expect to start seeing deliveries tomorrow. If you haven’t already ordered yours, you can get it on Apple.com today.
Thanks, tipsters!

The giant white antenna bar at the top doesn’t look good with the gold. Too bad they couldn’t match the color better like the plastics strips on the back of the space gray iPhone 6
The only way they could match it is by making gold plastic and gold plastic is always horrible. It’s a deliberate decision by Ive and team; these guys know design.
Glad to see the box isn’t super minimalistic like the albino iohone 6. It might be good for saving ink, but those boxes were way to bland.
Yeah, we need an environmentally friendly ink-alternative ASAP.
That white and gold is so weird looking, especially with the antenna.
Black and gold though? That might have looked better.
The front is white.
I guess I’m in the minority. I like the white with the gold. It looks really nice <333
funny, i ordered literally when the Store opened for preorders. i have to wait till next week? lol
Mine was just dispatched, will be here tomorrow
