They don't have stock in store yet. Went to the Guildford store..
And you need to go online to make an appointment and reserve the mini retina, but only when the store's have stock.

Right now the mini retina is grayed out, as the stores don't have their stock yet.

If you are getting one and not upgrading might as well get the best one available, the speed wise the thing is amazing it's fast and the battery life is great.
But if you're upgrading from an iPadHD then perhaps you can wait... but if you are spending the money might as well get the newer one (resell is great on these things too)

^Thanks for the reply. I was thinking the same thing which led me to look into the air. I am also guessing that the next ipad will just have a better camera + touchID so it wouldn't be a bad thing to buy the one right now...

^ Don't waste money on a non-A7 iPad. Developers are already starting to code for the A7 and 64bit. Next year Apple will only be selling 64bit devices with maybe one "cheap" iPhone that's still 32bit. All the latest and greatest Apps will be 64 bit soon making older devices less useful.
Camera? People take pics with their tablets? I also think TouchID will be an iPhone exclusive. Your phone is your personal device tied to a single person with all your contacts, banking information for mobile payments and so on. It makes sense to have more security on your phone than your tablet.

I figured it would have been shipped from a US warehouse like my macbooks. I've never ordered an apple product on the first day haha.
Either way, so excited that it might come early!

Coming from China though... | same thing happen to my iphone 5s. Don't expect it to come early though. My Iphone5s should have been ship out yesterday and deliver but is still in UPS wearhouse in Richmond. Call them and they refuse to let me to pick it up due to being an apple product and they have tons of those being deliver and handle.
If I don't get it deliver today I am just going to refuse it and go to the store and pick one up. It doens't take 2 days to sort out an order and have it deliver.......

Keep in mind it was also a long weekend so things are likely backed up.

strange that the Apple stores have such limited stock.
Store stock on Bestbuy and Futureshop sites is accurate. Bunch of friends here at work have gone out and bought as well.

Buying an Air today. Best Buy has $20 off (lol).
Anyone have suggestions on cases? People keep telling me to get a full case so that the back doesn't scratch... But I haven't been able to find any good ones...
Does the last gen prior to the Air cases work on the Air?

Stock of cases in stores is limited right now, mostly just the overpriced apple cases and smart covers.
On my old ipad I used the Logitech ultrathin keyboard cover. Was awesome.
Logitech's folio cases are also great as well.

looking at the dodocase but its so expensive ($60+)... Probably end up getting a poetic slimline for ~$10 or moshi knock off
This Grove one is pretty neat too. All wood/bamboo http://www.grovemade.com/product/woo...-and-ipad-mini | |
