Retina iPad Mini Now Available for Purchase From Apple's Online Store

[thefourthpope]

I ordered a SG 32g Tmobile at 1:45 am MST.

Total fluke. I was up late and somehow stumbled upon a link to MacRumors or something similar saying they had went live. I jumped on what I thought would be the most desirable model. Should have ordered more than one.

Gonna go read the thread but anybody have the lowdown on the free data from tmobile? Figured I'd be on wifi most of the time as it seems to be just about everywhere w/ decent speeds for the most part. Thought I could get by w/ the limited data tmobile offered when needed and I'm hoping you can go monthly w/ tmobile and the iPad mini.

I'm wondering this too. Do I need to wait and order through tmobile?

I yesterday at Tue, 12 Nov 2013 00:23:33 -0800 (PST). Retina iPad Mini Space Gray 128gb Verizon
I am thinking in April to get a iPad Air 64GB.

----------

Ordered a white 32GB Wi-Fi+Cellular (Verizon) the moment it went live. It shows shipping in 5-10 business days. Did anyone else get an earlier shipping time for the cellular version?

From what i having been readying that the cellular model of the Retina iPad mini is only end of the month for now. Even in the stores for pickup no cellular models.

It does say 3-5 day dispatch, yet the confirmation email states delivery between the 26th November and 3rd December. I ordered it at 9:15am GMT, so maybe the email is wrong?

No hard info, but my impression is that this is essentially a preorder period, allowing them to preview demand. The dispatch is from the factory itself with a longer delivery time than normal launches were standard SKUs are already in country.

I ordered an iPad mini (white-64GB) at 3:00AM, then canceled my order at 11:00AM, replaced the same order for in store pickup at 11:45AM (why wait 2-3 weeks for it to ship)

CELLULAR models?

Apart form the 32GB one, has ANYONE in the world been able to get their hands on the other sizes of cellular models (i.e. 16, 64, or 128GB ones)?

What I saw on Apple's site showed me having to pay the full cost upfront. I am most interested in TMobile's $0 down option.

Does anyone know if they have these in store yet to try? Interested in how it feels compared to previous iPad mini.

I ordered 'for pickup' a 64GB TMobile a few minutes ago. I'm hoping to get a pickup notification by the time I check email tomorrow.

I also have have a 32GB TMobile on order. Both in Slate Gray.
