Out for delivery. 64GB cellular SG rMINI. Hopefully this will give you guys in "still processing" some hope as when things shift, they really shift. If you look back over my postings in this thread you can see how quick it's been.
Ordered on launch day and delivery date is between today and next week monday yet it's still processing. I order stuff from the Apple website quite often and I don't think I've ever had something like this. Odd...
When I ordered an iPad Air, it was delivered within 48 hours. For this it's now been 2 weeks and still processing...

My order for a 64gb cellular is exactly the same. I spoke with an Apple rep about my order and was told everything is OK as far as they can see but could not give me any outlook for the delivery, it just means waiting longer I think. There looks to be real constraints on the larger memory cellular models at the moment.
My order is in the same state, ordered 9am on the 12th, 'still processing', 5 working days to shipment past last week, 10 days are up on Tuesday. There seems to an issue shipping the larger size cellular models any earlier!
I ordered 0830 the first day, and my 128gb cellular actually arrived last Monday (UK) amazingly. Unfortunately, check the images below (I've posted them before, apologies for the swears in the iMessage conversation, it wasn't me), ever present green line down centre of display. TNT are collecting it this afternoon, my replacement isn't due till Dec 5-Dec 12 ;_;

iPad Mini with Retina Display (Tesco Direct)
Hello people!
I received my Space Grey 16GB on Saturday from Tesco Direct UK (ordered on Thursday).. I paid a total of £235 with discounts and vouchers!
Just a question for people receiving their rMinis.. mine has been perfect so far apart from some adhesive reside on one side of the metal backing when first unboxed.. which rubbed off with some effort.. should I be concerned.. this is my first iPad..

So now had dispatched status. Expected delivery date not until the 2nd, but not too impatient.

if its all good and working, I wouldn't worry about it.
enjoy your new iPad!
I'm only impatient as if it's faulty and I have to return it, I might not get a replacement from Apple.com until the new year.
I'm working on the basis it'll all be fine and the vocal minority of those having issues don't lead me to expect issues myself.
If not happy then at least just not worried about anything trivial or hypotheticalHarbouring such delusions must make you so happy in life.

Delivered. Setting up as I type. According to info on this board, based on my serial no. the display is made by Sharp.
DMPL - LG
DMQL - Samsung
DLXL - Sharp
Screen looks uniform and looked pretty decent from the couple of photos I looked at. Looks tiny next to my iPad Air.
To quote a one-hit-wonder indie band from the 1990s (theaudience), "the pessimist is never disappointed".I'm the eternal pessimist
Shipping status update now a bit contradictory. Says expected delivery date of 27th November, but the next shipping update is expected in 4-5 business days.
Good luck with your order. Recommend you put theaudience's album on repeat until it arrives. You have got the (brilliant) album?
For those who haven't got it, it's on iTunes, so no excuses for not giving it a listen.

If you've got your tracking number then plug it into either (or both) the iOS app called "Parcel" or UPS's web site. Mine went despatched either last Wed or Thu - see a page or so back in the thread.
Hi guys, super excited just ordered my Silver 32gb 4G iPad mini retina
Got it from EE on a contract (5gb data, £31, £99 upfront) so it effectively works out to about £14.50/month for 5GB data (assuming £499 price of iPad) which I am happy with.
Also was super stoked that even though the guy said it'll take up to 30 days to deliver when he was doing it it told him that they can delivery Wednesday! So wasn't expecting that and is a nice surprise
Just sold my old iPad 3 64GB yesterday, £260 got for it, hardly anything (my friend got £210 for his iPad 2 16GB with dents!).

Order still processing!
Missed the first delivery date!
What's going on Apple!!
just upgraded from a 16GB WiFi iPad 2 to a 32GB Cellular iPad Air and WOW its fast!!!
good thing it only costs me an extra £5 a month on my EE4G Contract to share my Data with the iPad!
And also got £50 cash back from buying it from Currys so only really paid £530 for it.
Think i might buy one of those Logitech Folio cases for it! Anyone use one?

Hi guys got my iPad mini with retina display 64 GB cellular yesterday. I absolutely love it. The screen is perfect and the form factor is fantastic.
Got delivered at 1530 by UPS. Got everything up and running. Got my free iWork and iLife apps as well.

Still waiting for my LTE retina mini ordered at just after 8am on release day.
I like to think they're taking a bit more time to make sure the screens are up to scratch, while at the same time realising how unlikely that is.
