The best way to make sure you’re buying the new 5th generation iPad Air is to check the processor in the specs section of the product description.

Where to buy the iPad Air 5

Air pre-orders will appear. This will be a popular place to buy one as many buyers take advantage of Prime delivery.
• B&H Photo: Stock pre-orders for iPad Air 5 in all colors and capacities are being prepared on the site and should be available by 8 am ET.
• Best Buy: The iPad Air 5 pre-order pages went live early, and we can see that the store currently has listings for all colors available in 64GB and 256GB capacities.
• Walmart: We’re still waiting for new iPad Air 5 listings to appear here, but that could change at any time.
• Apple: It will probably have a lot of stock in the beginning, but as a main selling point, it could also sell out before the retailers. This will be the last place to find any discounts, but it is possible to add a free engraving on the back. Please note, however, that this could affect future trade-in value at some stores.
