The start times to purchase Apple's fifth-generation tablets have been confirmed ahead of its Nov. 1 launch.
The iPad Air, Apple's latest tablet with a 9.7-inch display, will be available for purchase at Apple Retail Stores at 8 a.m. local time.
The 8 a.m. start time is not a new move by Apple as it was the same moment the Cupertino-based organization launched the new iPhone 5s and iPhone 5c in September at their retail locations as well.

As seen with the iPhone 5s, Apple has not taken pre-orders for the iPad Air.
