iPad mini iPad Mini - UK LTE Thread

What dates were you given if they're already late? I can't remember a last possible delivery date on this thread which was before December 3rd.
I expect the dispatches to be the same as for the cellular iPad 4s, and looking at their thread everyones went from processing to shipped within a few hours one evening, and they were all delivered the next day. Still plenty of time for that before next week.
Sorry misworded that.
I've got 30th Nov - 7 Dec.
Just thought it was quoted from the Keynote that they would be delivered two weeks after the wifi versions.
But hey, hopefully not too long now.
Only for the US. "And the weeks after that for the rest of the world" or something like that.
Ah ok thanks, obviously me just not paying enough attention.
Just me being a big kid and being impatient.
You're not alone !
My ipad mini kavaj leather case arrived today too, just to irritate me even more ;-)

Just stop and think for a minute. Apple have released 5 entirely new products requiring totally new manufacturing processes in the last quarter. Each one has been a blockbuster success. I think they're allowed a little flexibility with delivery dates.
As yet they're not missing any deadlines.

However, I want mine tomorrow

Heres a little story to kill some more time...
After about 2 or 3 weeks since pre-ordering, it occurred to me that I hadn't actually seen an iPad mini in the flesh, so I decided to keep it that way so that the first one I saw would be the one that is delivered to me.
I started taking it a bit too seriously when I had to enter an Apple store (twice) and both times stating at the ground/ceiling to avoid looking at the minis slapped right in the entrance.
At work, people cottoned on and started placing them on my desk, bribing me by offering things I wanted (work-paid iPhone 5 for example) in return for me touching one. So far I've been fairly successful in my avoidance but people have started bringing them into meetings. Grrr.
Such is the life of a weird Apple fan with a hint of OCD.

Hi All - I've been following the thread (and checking my order status daily!)
I'm waiting for a 32gb 3G iPad mini, ordered at about 8.01am on the 26th
The order status checker is now offline, and I've noticed there is now a banner on the store saying "Guaranteed delivery by Xmas if ordered by 28th November" - could that mean ours are finally nearly on their way?
I love how Apple is one of the few companies in the world people will happily give their money to in the hope they might eventually deign to send them the product....!
I sold my 1st Gen iPad over the weekend
P.S. - Although saying that - my credit card still doesn't appear to have been charged....so maybe I'll have to wait a bit longer

I read that too. I don't think it means ours are on the way though, just that we too will be lucky enough to get it right before Christmas.Hi All - I've been following the thread (and checking my order status daily!)

What did your estimated delivery time say before the site went down? I ordered the same ipad at the same time as you!
I really have to stop checking this thread every ten minutes.

Not more technically complex than an iPhone, surely. Apple has been turning out cellular devices for years, so any delay may be more due to getting approval from the FCC and similar international boards overseeing telephone communications.
Back up and nothing changed
Stil "Processing Items - Dispatched: 1 - 2 Weeks Delivers 26 Nov, 2012 - 03 Dec, 2012"
Grrrrrr....at this rate I'm going to break the F5 button on my keyboard...

Annoying though the wait is, I won't be weeping into my pillow screaming "botched launch! Fail!" until the entire delivery window that I've been told, 30 Nov-7 Dec, has come and gone with no sign of my mini. Progress, or lack of, means bog all at this stage. My launch day iPhone 5 only appeared and started moving on the Wednesday before it appeared. Of course, if I do get it in Dec(looking increasingly likely) and not late Nov as Apple originally said...tsk tsk.
