Glad to hear I'm not the only one. I wouldn't mind if it just changed to "Processed waiting to ship" but this whole 8 days of "processing the order" makes me feel like it could take much longer.
the nexus 7 is £178 at amazon .. bloody hell .. so tempted to get that till ipad mini retina "processes"
This makes me feel slightly better that my 32gb cellular model is still processing too! I've had the case for almost a week now, but nothing to put in it
Exactly the same situation. 32GB Cellular rMini. I have the 10GB/mo sim card and case waiting on my bookshelf.

It's probably not even been made yet.

Mine was also the 32GB LTE. Is that maybe the model that has the most issues supply wise?
When I spoke to the customer services at John Lewis regarding price matching I asked about the 90 days return period. He said just make sure you do not register it with Apple. This appears to be about the last step in the setup process so will be careful when I get to that. Picked my 128Gb Mini up an hour or so ago and just put it on charge at the moment. Will set it up later tonight.
Will give it a really good test out during the next few months and will only keep it if I am happy that all is ok. Bit wary of the first batch of a new product. Bought an iPhone 5 on the day they were released and ended up getting my money back due to a few problems. Went and bought another iPhone 5 a few months later and it has been trouble free.
Nice to have a 3 year warranty for free with John Lewsi. Have never taken out and warranty or AppleCare before so have been lucky that I have never needed it. Couple of iMac issues out of warranty but Apple sorted them all for free.
Reckon my Apple order would still be processing, despite being ordered on the 12th.
Yes they will. If it's an exchange you'll have to wait until they have them in stock. If it's a replacement (under warranty) they'll swap it over with a refurb which aren't for sale, so may have them in stock.
Cancelled my online order as managed to pick one up from the Apple store at Regents Street via the reservation system.
It seems that 3pm is the best time to check!
My online order was made in the first hour of release but had been 'processing' ever since. Sod's law states all of them will be out for delivery tomorrow!! but I'm happy to finally have one in my hands.

Thanks! I might give it a go tomorrow. It's a replacement presumably.
Other than the very obvious flaw, I'm totally sold on the rMini. The difference in weight over the first mini is more noticeable than I thought it would be, but not enough to be a problem.
I'm yet to hold one. There's not a rMini on display in a 30 mile radius of York, Uk.
Quite a few places got the whole range of WiFi models in stock today. I also saw a couple of 64GB LTEs.
My 64GB Cellular Space Grey rMini has moved to "Preparing for despatch". Ordered at 08:02 on first day of availability.

I can't remember when I ordered it, but it must have been around that time when I ordered too. Maybe tomorrow, I'll join you lucky guys.
This soon after the purchase they will probably send you away and tell you to get it replaced by the online sales team. This is what they did with my MacBook Air which I purchased months after they came out (and so they would have refurb stick available) because it was so soon after the purchase (about five days after I received it). By doing a swap in store like this you will very likely get a refurb model not a new one, however given it is so soon after the release, and so I do not expect refurb models to be available yet, they would almost certainly have to give you a new one. Given the supply constraints I doubt they will be able to do this (they still cannot sell them over the counter without a reservation code, staff have told me that their POS devices will not permit the release of stock).

Went and saw the retina mini today at the bullring Birmingham Apple store.
I walked past it twice before realising it was the rMini since it's on display right next to the mini1. Held them both, and side by side.
Screen is much nicer on the rMini. I couldn't really make out a size or weight difference.
