@LFC2020 - Okay, that sounds good. I'd hope for better spacing on the overall screen also. :)

What size/type iPhone is the iPad Mini next to in the photo?

What annoys me in the second picture is that he's holding up the phone next to it and having the iPad on the table. On some lenses that makes a big difference in size distortion.
 
Well, it's almost Thursday in China, and nothing shipping yet, at least not mine. Hmm... Did Apple's manufacturers crank out tens of thousands of Minis that are sitting in containers scattered around the country to be delivered Friday? Hmm...

I think this is exactly the case. I expect to get the shipping email from Apple tomorrow morning around 4am. That seems to be the time I always get the email prior to getting something on release date. Gonna check UPS by reference and see if it’s in the system yet 😀
 
They charged our CC on Sunday. 9/24 delivery, but nothing showing up on UPS or FedEx. iPhones showed up on Sunday on UPS. Getting a little worried.
 
I don’t understand you’re reply in the context of what I said.

What I’m trying to say is don’t fret about shipping times slipping…
Just go get one at any of the many retail stores

supply will not be constrained
Well you asked if anyone was fretting about the order status/shipping times.
And I said No...because just like the phones when Apple says your order will arrive on the 24the then that's when it will arrive.

I can't think of any launch day orders of Apple products that didn't arrive on time in the past years.
 
Interesting that the in-store pickup options for the iPads and phones switched to 'Check back 9/24 for availability.' Not sure if they've ever closed off in-store pickup several days before launch before?
 
Is that iPadOS 15? Looks awful with those narrow icons. I get almost claustrophobic watching that.
I've seen other videos with ipados 15 on the mini and I concur. You can kind of get away with the narrowness on the bigger ipads, but on the mini it looks a tad cramped :(. I hope they adjust the spacing between icons cause the mini doesn't even have the benefit of staying on ipados 14.
 
I noticed this year for the iPad mini 6 still is not showing shipped. I hope it's true that they are sitting somewhere and will show shipped tomorrow morning.
 
Still can’t find a tracking number by reference or otherwise, on either UPS or FedEx websites or logged in on their apps. Our iPhone 13’s on the other hand, have been traveling for several days…

My iPad mini is still listed as Express delivery. I think that means it is already in the states and is coming from a domestic warehouse.
