iPad mini iPad Mini 6 Shipping Thread

[davemacdo]

Mine has switched to 24 Sept in the last hour or so. I also noticed that it says I have selected “Express Delivery”. Perhaps there was a mixup and the shipping method was switched to fix it? The shipping cost is still marked as free.

Mi 256GB Starlight + Orange Case just switched from “Arrives” to “Arrives Fri Sep 24”

 

[Avenger]

The date is filled in on my order again. And my credit card was charged. Still not preparing for shipping yet. A Space Gray 256GB Wifi model.

 

[decypher44]

Yep. Pending charge just hit, and the 24th now appears again. Yay!

 

[Ad94]

My order just changed to “Preparing to ship”!

 

[Cirlonde]

Same here! Date is back, now says Arrives Fri Sep 24. And I also just got the charge notification on my credit card. Still hasn't moved to Preparing to Ship though. But I'm just so glad to finally see the 9/24 date back again!

edit: I spoke too soon! Just changed to Preparing to Ship.

 

[Rafterman]

Me too.

Mine is also preparing to ship.

Is iPad OS releasing on Monday, the 20th?

 

[enricoclaudio]

Mine also changed to Preparing to Ship.

 

[bookcase]

Will these be shipping via UPS like the iPhones?

 

[OrlandoTragic]

Preparing to Ship also!

 

[Avenger]

Yeah my order just went to preparing to ship. I wonder if the orders are coming from China or are already in the USA.

Yes.

Preparing to ship just appeared on my status 😬 Outstanding! 64GB Space Gray WiFi Delivers 9-24...

My delivery date just showed up and my card was just charged, too. Weird.

 

[Phisherman81]

My status is now "Preparing to Ship"! It was the "Arrives" without a date through the weekend, but now says will delivery the 24th. Ordered 256GB Space Gray and a black folio.

Also picked up my 1st sticker for the folio: Trey Anastasio 2021 Tour sticker

Switched back to Friday. But no UPS shipping label like my iPhone 13pm has. But that was already explained above I believe since they aren't coming from China I think.

 

[AZhappyjack]

Got an email that my card was charged and the Sep 24 date is back... never daunted... It's Apple.

In my experience, iPhone always comes UPS... but every other thing I have ever ordered from Apple has shipped via FedEx. YMMV.

I really don’t know what color I want. I’d like something to compliment my mini that’s my phone for outside but I need something for home use that’s bigger than m phone but smaller than my 11 iPad pro. Dark silver is boring. I have a silver iPad pro. I think I might something funky like purple or starlight (the conservative choice).

 

[luxx80]

I just ordered the 64gb + cellular in purple and 9/24 was available for the shipping date. 🤘

I plugged the hub into my iPP and connect the T7t via USB 3.0 connector and placed a micro SD into the slot.

Both of the storage devices are recognised in the Files app.

I went into the T7t and selected a file and opted to ‘move’ it to the SD card.

With the transfer complete, i removed the T7t and opened the SD card in Files and voila, the transferred file is there in full.

The Samsung T7t is a brilliant portable drive. Fingerprint secure. Fast transfer speeds. Very compact… and a cheaper than the storage upgrade on the iPad. £140 for an additional 192GB of storage

Thanks for this: I bought an Anker hub, similar to yours, and tried transferring from SD card to several portable HDs and other SD cards, using my iPad Pro, with good success. (I don't have an external SSD yet.)

One thing I noticed: writing to an external device is painfully slow (like 5 MB/s!) unless it is formatted APFS. I converted my portable HDs to APFS and got about 50 MB/s write speed, which is OK for an HD. The transfer time is going to be limited by the SD card read speed anyway (about 60 MB/s). The only issue I have with the Anker hub is that it does not appear to support UHS-II SD cards (300MB/s).

A minor thing: I was only able to copy from one device to another, not move (even though the iPad option says "Move"). Not a big deal, as I just need to delete files from the source after copying to the destination.

Thanks again

Finally got a date and PTS status. May pop up in FedEx early if that is how it is arriving.

Edit: I did have a package from Harrisburg, PA pop up. I'm thinking it either could be my iPad or new Sonos that is coming.

No walk-ins because we are in lockdown, only click and collect which shows no availability in my area. So I have my iPad mini (64 GB Starlight) shipped. After I ordered today, the shipping info shows "Arrives 30/09/2021 - 06/10/2021". I guess it will update once they figured out their shipment schedule....
