Was it straight from Apple or another retailer?

Well every bit counts I guess....take the new phones. I almost did a double take at the shipping box the new phone is in. Slimline.

I still grumble about the trade in process though....that's were the whole eco-friendly part falls apart.

Good info, thanks.

A15 is technically comparable to 2020 iPad Pro power in a tiny body. It’s great

The GPU seems to be faster on the iPad mini.

The Mini 6 looks good. Looking forward to getting mine on the 4th.

Grrr...just received the dreaded email from UPS saying they "attempted delivery" of my iPad mini and delivery has been rescheduled for Monday. I have been home all day and know that no delivery was attempted. Same thing happened when I ordered my launch day iPhone 12. Kinda ruins the launch day experience. Has this happened to anyone else with UPS?

 

[Hello...]

Received mine it was in The cellophane wrap, it works perfect I love the pink it’s a lighter pink and it’s gorgeous so far so good been using it for a couple hours.

I put notes on my door (even garage). They left a $300 pair of headphones next to my garage before. I don't take chances anymore.

Yes. Not too long ago, too - they went to the wrong house. Same house number but one street away.

They delivered my iPad but not the phones...same message, even though I had release authorization on file. Leaving a note and screen shot of release on door for Monday....

I had to sign for everything today. Even though Apple said no contact. Whatever. Still no folio that was supposed to be here today. Still in Nashville. #rolleyes

 

[leperry]

It’s here! I love it. So compact and different from my 12.9.

For whatever reason UPS has been out for delivery for 14 hours but it’s now 92 minutes after the “delivers by” time. Think I’m giving up. No huge deal but weird the tracking hasn’t updated.

UPS normally gets here about 1-2p. It’s now 8:32.

My wife’s Mini 6 arrived today, as promised. Transferred the stuff on her Mini 5 to the 6, and it was a breeze. The 6 is really nice!

This is the first time in a long time iPhone and iPad delivery day was the same day. My UPS guy is usually here by noon. It was 5:30 pm today.

I live in Dallas. Just ordered a silver 256GB Mini 6 last night. Won't be here till October 25th or later. You suck Apple!

Yeah, that is Apple’s fault.
