The deal is already showing up on their website. I have called them yesterday and they have plenty of stock across Australia for the 16GB and 32GB, both Wi-Fi and the Wi-Fi + cellular ones. 64GB has less stock and 128GB will only be available as click and collect. All colours should be plentiful. Quite a bit cheaper than buying from Apple themselves.

I'm lined up at the George Street Apple Store right now and I don't want to lose my place in line, but the line isn't very long. I don't think the demand for the iPad Air is very big so if you just stroll into Big W early today I think you'll be able to get one. Managed to hold one just now, it's like the reviews say - insanely light and feels amazing. No point in getting the Mini anymore.

Storage Wi-Fi Wi-Fi + cellular
16GB $568 $698
32GB $668 $798
64GB $768 $898
128GB $868 $998

Their website shows "Not Available" right now, but they do in fact have stock. Just walk in or phone up your local store and ask. A few people have already left the line here at George Street to buy from the nearby Big W in the Sydney CBD who have confirmed stock since last night.

EDIT: 64GB & 128GB are not in stock anywhere.

        the dogs told me they have a price match policy when i challenged their refusal
        then gave me some waffle that the price at bigw was bait as there is no stock

          Did you tell them that was illegal and they should therefore report them to the ACCC ?

          Well the truth is Big W don't have any stock so it is a baiting tactic to get you in the store. It's common with places like them and Taget.

        • innoxious on 01/11/2013 - 13:43

          It's not illegal if the competitor can't supply the stock…

        • crazyj on 01/11/2013 - 14:55

          If you can prove they have the stock, it totally is.

        • allyemil on 01/11/2013 - 16:06

          What if they did have them in stock but sold them all since then?

          can you say the same about Apple stores themselves, who launches new products that sell out in hours, think of iphones, ipads etc! redicious isn't it?

          …end of sarcasm

  • Jorkus on 01/11/2013 - 13:29

    Can i get this from JB, get the $50 promo voucher, and turn around and use it to buy a smart case?

    EDIT: Oops, 25% off, not $50 store credit. NVM

  • ITveteran on 01/11/2013 - 13:30

    Is there any app that iPad Air can do but iPad 3 cannot?

      No, assuming they are both on the same version of iOS

    • auna on 01/11/2013 - 15:37

      Yes. Infinity Blade 3 has much improved graphics on iPad air and Mini Retina only. Similar exclusive

      • tanksinatra on 10/11/2013 - 11:31

        No. Infinity blade 3 runs on the following devices:

        • iPhone 4, iPhone 4S, iPhone 5, iPhone 5C, iPhone 5S
        • iPod Touch 4th generation, 5th Generation
        • iPad 2, iPad 3rd Generation, iPad 4th Generation, iPad Air, iPad Mini, iPad Mini 2nd Generation

        Graphics might be improved on the Air, but the iPad 3 is no slouch. They both have 1GB Ram.

          Graphics might be improved on the Air, but the iPad 3 is no slouch. They both have 1GB Ram.

          RAM has very little to do with graphics performance. iPad Air has a significantly better GPU (IMG’s PowerVR G6430) than the iPad 4.

  • LaTerrible on 01/11/2013 - 13:55

    Picked one up, my crappy BigW here in the sticks had 4 16gb wifi ONLY, and all in white, so I couldn't get a 'top-deck' (black and white/grey and white whatever the nomenclature is) pair this time around.

    Man, it puts the 3 in the shade.

    • ImperialX on 01/11/2013 - 13:56

      I couldn't believe how light it was when I first held it. It's truly incredible.

      • LaTerrible on 01/11/2013 - 14:02

        Yeah without wanting to evangelise too much, it's astonishing. Feels like it should be made of plastic and flimsy for its weight, but it absolutely isn't.

        Will have to check Target Country (lol) and the local Mac1 store and grab another I think, my 3 feels very old now, lol.

    • Ronnnie on 01/11/2013 - 14:00

      Lucky you, none around these parts whatsoever.

    bought one from glen waverley target, 16g wifi only in white for $549, rrp was $559, then used $10 voucher,which given away from shop door.

  • MementoMori on 01/11/2013 - 16:12

    FWIW Officeworks QV has not received any stock of the Airs.

    • ammark19xx on 02/11/2013 - 01:18

      Dunno who negged you, wasn't me…

      But I bought my white 16gbWi Fi iPad Air at 11:30 am from the BigW there.

    Just got one from apple shop in Sydney CBD $996.55 128gb cellular. Competitor price match. Sweet.

      The one in George St ? Who did you price match against ?

      • zzyss on 02/11/2013 - 09:56

        That's the Big W price.

    I bought my ipad air in apple store last night,Wifi Silver 128gb $817.27, kind of 10%off, am i the lucky one?

  • congo on 02/11/2013 - 08:56

    Now, where to get a iPad Air shield and cover?

  • rswilson on 02/11/2013 - 10:28

    Anyone got an ad/receipt for the cellular models? Can't find it online. Looking to do a price match at the Apple Store. Cheers

  • driverman on 02/11/2013 - 15:44

    I got $23.00 off my 64g wifi at JB with a slight haggle. Worth it to not have to traipse to a Big W on a Saturday.

  • digitalane on 08/11/2013 - 09:16

    Managed to get TGG to price match BigW on a 32GB cellular - even though BigW had no stock. They just rung to check it was a valid price - all good :)

  • cerng52 on 24/11/2013 - 12:15

    Just went to Chemside Apple Store, bought an ipad air wifi+cellular 128 gb silver for $1,049 and the manager of the store refuse to price match with Big W.

  • hollytaylor on 26/11/2013 - 13:25

    16GB seems to be all sold out? Is it worth asking instore or just waiting for the friday apple sale?
