T-Mobile's Apple iPad Air 2 pre-orders reportedly limited to 16GB model
On Tuesday, we told you that T-Mobile's pre-order period for the new Apple iPad Air 2 and Apple iPad mini 3 was starting today. But a leaked internal memo reveals that T-Mobile reps are being informed that only select variants of the iPad Air 2 will be available for pre-order Wednesday. According to the memo, only the 16GB version of the 9.7 inch slate can be reserved by T-Mobile customers for the time being.
The colors available are Silver, Space Gray and Gold. The 16GB iPad Air 2 can be pre-ordered for $0 down with 24 monthly installments of $26.24. That works out to a figure just shy of $630. T-Mobile says that as soon as it can announce a release date for the 64GB and 128GB models of the Apple iPad Air 2, the carrier will announce it. Meanwhile, there are no restrictions when it comes to pre-orders of all versions of the Apple iPad mini 3. T-Mobile expects to start shipping both new iPads on October 29th.
