As Apple gears up to begin the sales of the iPhone 11 series in India, the Cupertino, California-based company has quietly revealed that the new iPad will go on sale in India beginning October 4. Apple has listed the release date on its India website. To recall, the new iPad was announced alongside the iPhone 11 series and Apple Watch Series 5 at the company's Special Event in Cupertino earlier this month. It replaces the iPad (2018) model with a 9.7-inch screen that was introduced in March last year.

The Apple website doesn't mention anything about the pre-orders but the authorised Apple retailers will likely start taking pre-orders a week before the release.

Update: We reached out to Apple to get a confirmation on the launch date, and were initially informed the 2019 iPad will go on sale on October 4 in the country. On that date however, we learnt that the launch date is no longer certain. The company has since removed the date from its India website.
