First iPad Pro, MacBook Air and Mac Mini Orders Begin Arriving to Customers in Australia and New Zealand

It won't be as easy as the 2012 Mac Mini.

According to the AppleInsider review

"It's a fairly simple procedure, though not as easy as some of the previous minis from 2012 and earlier, necessitating a spudger, and a set of security Torx drivers."

And after that there's more fun ...

Can someone please pop the bottom off and confirm for once and for all if DIMMs are a) easy access and b) something that can be swapped out without jumping through hurdles or having to remove other parts of the machine?

The pictures have been posted. It'll be at LEAST as difficult as the previous Mac mini and it appears possibly a little bit more.

they don't. They are getting it on the same date as you are!

We live yesterday according to NZers!

What was really weird was when it was Dec 31, 1999 in the USA, and Jan 1, 2000 in New Zealand.... you guys..... so last century.....

 

[David1964]

WHY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! are they getting these a day early.

Wait like the rest of the world people!

It’s not a day early in their part of the world.

That was really weird given the last century ended on 12/31/00!

Okay guys, I think he gets it. SHEESH!

The lack of understanding of time differences around the globe in many of these posts confirms my worst fears about public education
That being said, I like the Mac Mini upgrade and while the base price is up, so is the performance, by quite a bit it seems (need more data tho). And they even kept the headphone jack and HDMI port...thankfully.

Gosh! I just popped the bottom off the new iPad Pro and now all those pretty colours are running over my desk and stuff. The display went dimm.

I thought it was 31/12/00.

is mac mini broken as the rest of the late mac releases?

 

[Aedz1997]

AFAICT stores do NOT open at 8 AM locally but at their normal hours …

I’ve been looking for the answer to this question. So just to confirm, no Apple stores are opening early tomorrow for the launch?

...not a day earlier. Its midnight when they get it. and up side down as well... strange people live there.

And Drop Bears.

The 20th century lasted from Jan 1st 1901 to Dec 31st 2000. There was no year 0 AD, so the first century was from 1AD to 100AD, and so on.

You are aware that the Earth is a sphere and that it can’t be the same time everywhere, right?

Because they have to endure Summer time during Christmas. Poor sods, cut them some slack would you.

I checked in the Apple Store App my 4 nearest Stores and none of them had „special opening times“ for tomorrow. You better check on the page for the Store that you plan to go to.

 

[Sean777]

Finally!

 

[djaisling]

Are cellular models going to be available? From what I am seeing with the carriers, it looks like Monday. But I want to go to the store tomorrow at 8 Am and see

I pre ordered mine via AT&T and have it being delivered tomorrow. But I spoke to someone at an AT&T store and he said a lot of the bigger newer carrier stores should have some tomorrow for launch day. I’m going to pickup an Apple Pencil tomorrow as well.

I've changed the post, I don't think it looks like most stores are opening early. Standard operating hours. Definitely check your individual store page, though.

If you want some time travel flexibility you can move to the poles. North or South it doesn’t matter. Then you can jog trough the time zones. Not to many Apple Stores there though

 

[jayonegame]

Finally!

Possibly have a 10.5 to compare it to?

Time zones. How do they work?
