iPad mini Anyone in US have a rMini LTE?

Picked up a 64gb ATT LTE. Mad because I used a gift card on my weborder I played at 330am. Gonna return the store bought one in a few days. Already paid for it with my credit card, I might as well take a test spin.
 
Wow, had randomly been checking the in store availability all afternoon arid here in Portland, OR as I ordered one online right after they went on sale, 128 Black ATT Mini and there was no stock anywhere within 500 miles on any model any size, and just now the exact model I wanted showed available across town in Beaverton and I will be picking it up today.

I would definitely say keep checking stores as I didn't think they would update stock this late in the day. Very strange. I will check back once I get it. Might go tonight or might wait tip tomorrow due to traffic.
 
Huzzah! (I was going to post the picture on the front of the box, but it doesn't say that it's cellular on the front or sides 😉 ). This is in Chicago.

Black 128GB AT&T

I just reserved this one at the flagship SF store and its available for pick up. I will head over after work.
 
My local apple store finally got their first load of wifi rMini's but no LTE units... Here's hoping for tomorrow!
 
Are all LTE mini with retina the same other than the sim card inside?

Meaning I can get a TMo one, and potentially use it for Verizon at a later time?
 
Seems like only 64GB and few 128GB are available. I'm waiting for a 16GB version. I did order T-Mobile 16GB but no news as of now.

If that's your plan, it's better to get the Verizon version and buy a Tmobile sim card later. Because Verizon is not selling their sim cards separately, though tmobile does.

It will work but you need an active sim. My active sim works fine in my att one. As does the tmo one.

Good point. Thanks!
 
I just picked up a 128GB AT&T Mini Retina Graphite at Apple Century City, California. Purchased it an hour earlier on my Iphone. They were out of more of the 128's AT&Ts but they did have T-Mobile's 128 Silver and hour ago.

Got home an my Online order (schedule for December 3 latest arrival) is preparing for shipment - could not cancel online, but customer service will attempt to cancel it.
 
Got the tmobile 64gig-- they're weird over there. I wanted the $20 500megs4g/unlimited 2g after and they need to ship me out an entirely new SIM for that-- is that right?

Now i guess ive got a 200meg freebie and once it arrives a 500 meg/20 card.

Also this screen is less yellow than the wifi version im returning this weekend.

Technically no. But I've been told by a few people that VZW does not easily sell pre-paid SIMs, only post-paid. So best to check w/ the carrier you plan you using to find out out easily you can obtain a month-to-month SIM.

Correct, VZW simply won't sell or give away a SIM (unless you find a "rogue" manager). This has been going on since first cellular VZW iPad. They are readily available on eBay as I've bought a number of VZW ones over the last couple years. As you know, there are no VZW "pre-paid" sims. Any VZW nano or micro sim will work.

Also Apple stores are a source for free sims. I've gotten a couple ATT & TMO ones just for asking nicely. ATT wants to sell them for $25 (unless of course, like VZW, you sign up for a contract plan then they are free).

Can't figure out what VZW's problem is. I've taken pretty high up in the chain and they won't budge. They keep sending you around in circles.
 
After trying all afternoon and evening my local store finally has 32gb tmo available, just ordered to pick up after the store opens
 
Yesterday I watched online 'available for pickup' for a verizon 64gb space gray rMini and watched as several of the apple stores across the country got stock. However my local apple store received no LTE units. The did receive their first stock of wifi units yesterday, a day after most did, so I'm hoping their first LTE shipment is also a day behind and is showing up today! Fingers crossed!
 
I was able to pick up 2 64gb LTE's locally yesterday. I'm hoping for 128, but I haven't seen those at all in stores.
