Please hurry up and get these out the door.

I miss my iPad Air after it got smashed over my knee due to several years of frustration with the unresponsive screen issue - oddly, it was one of the more satisfying moments of my life, too.

Just as an observation to iPads hardiness- it took several attempts across my knee to get it to complete smash.

If they show up in the regulatory database already, then they will be released this month and not next month.

Sure, its nice to see new devices released… but not so nice seeing the desperation of a minority in pain over the release date of said ipads.
I think you might be misreading everyone's messages from your high horse.

Don't mistake enthusiasm and impatience for pain and upset.
