There are well known problems with units coming out of Factory 4. Just kidding. Calm down.

How did you get all those info?
 
Back a couple of pages ago on ths thread there were links to (a). the Apple MySupport Profile site, which will show all devices registered to your Apple ID - this is where the serial # for the new Mini was, and (b). a site where you enter that serial # and it spits out the info I posted.
 
Both of mine (32GB Black mini and dark grey Smart Cover) are showing up as being shipped by UPS from China. (So whoever said that the blacks were being made in Brazil got it wrong.)
Cover with delivery 10/30 - yeah good luck with that with Frankenstorm hitting NYC!!!
Mini with delivery by end of day 11/2 - hoping Sandy clears out of the way by then!!!
Apple status still in "processing" for the Mini though and no email or text from them either.

I also have 32gb black/dark grey coming from china. Shows factory F4. I also noticed the updated support page is much better than what apple had up until this recent update.

Mine was in Osaka at 8:46pm. Can't wait till Friday! I hope they aren't delayed from the storm. (although even if they are, if it keeps people safe then delay away)
