AT&T To Offer iPad Air On Friday, November 1

DALLAS, Oct. 22, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- AT&T* today announced that it will offer iPad Air with Wi-Fi + Cellular on Friday, November 1, and iPad mini with Retina display with Wi-Fi + Cellular later in November. AT&T has the nation's fastest and most reliable 4G LTE network** and offers qualified customers the ability to buy these new iPads with no money down.  AT&T also has a variety of long term and occasional use mobile internet plans.

"Each year, more of our customers want iPad to connect to our mobile internet," said Ralph de la Vega, president & CEO, AT&T Mobility. "We offer the nation's fastest and most reliable 4G LTE network, and are giving our customers the most flexible plans to connect to that network."

iPad Air features a stunning 9.7-inch Retina display in a new thinner and lighter design. Precision-engineered to weigh just one pound, iPad Air is 20 percent thinner and 28 percent lighter than the fourth generation iPad, and with a narrower bezel the borders of iPad Air are dramatically thinner—making content even more immersive. iPad mini with Retina display brings all the pixels from the 9.7-inch iPad to its 7.9-inch screen, delivering razor sharp text and detail in the same amazingly thin and light design. The new iPads feature the powerful and power-efficient Apple-designed A7 chip with 64-bit desktop-class architecture, ultrafast wireless with faster built-in Wi-Fi and expanded LTE cellular connectivity, and the newly-designed iOS 7 featuring hundreds of great new features.

Data plans available for these new iPads include AT&T Mobile Share, with which you can add a tablet to a sharable bucket of data for $10 per month, and pay-per-use plans ranging from a 250MB day pass for $5 to a 30-day, 5GB pass for $50.

Customers can buy iPad Air with Wi-Fi + Cellular at all AT&T retail locations beginning Friday, November 1. For complete details on pricing, please visit www.att.com/ipad.
