[wacky4alanis]

I switched my Best Buy pickup store to one with stock available today...now just waiting for the "ready for pickup" e-mail. if all goes well, I should have my Mini 5 tonight

Was at the  Store today for a repair and all the geniuses/staff said that they get their shipment tomorrow and will be available to buy then, huh, strange.

The struggle:

DO I want the mini or do I want the new air. I originally wanted the mini, then flipped to the Air, now I'm thinking about the mini again

Get both. Problem solved

Get both. Problem solved

And in all configurations possible just to be sure you don't regret buying a different spec

Looks like the WiFi Only ones are available, but the Cellular are not yet available.

Are they available in Apple Stores?

I guess not many people buy cellular. Now I have to wait longer, because I am high maintenance.

Not within 250 miles of me.

Just got my “ready for pickup” e-mail from Best Buy I will be picking up my Space Grey Mini 5 tonight! It’s a 64 GB Wifi model.

Same model I just picked up! Loving it so far

Curious guys - my primary use case for the iPad mini is iBooks and pdfs and streaming content.

Would a 64gb suffice for this?

Has someone ordered from the Apple Store online and got it already? I'm not very sure when it's the official release day. Ordered the Air 3, Apple sent it but I haven't got it yet.

That would work.

Is it normal that Best Buy would release a new Apple device before the Apple Store?

Not unheard of. I have seen it happen several times before.

I guess there's no launch or 'release'. or 'Don't open until...." , Type of thing.

There may be an Apple store with these today, somewhere out there.

Anybody know of where to get an LTE version. Earliest shipping dates seem to be for April 10 now. Don’t want to wait that long if possible.

I’m hoping it’ll be in stock at Apple stores on Friday.

I have been looking at several places and haven't seen any hope for earlier. I will keep checking tomorrow morning. Maybe the local Apple store will have LTE and I will go in person.

I might just swing by the Apple store tomorrow morning before work, despite hearing the 27 and the 29th from different people at the same store. If it's Friday, I'll live but it's pretty close to my morning job so (not even a 10 minute walk).

Congrats to the folks who got theirs today, enjoy. Glad to hear the screen is so nice.

I already installed 5 apps for a total of 9.7 gb's used. So roughly 54 gb left.

Best Buy has ship by dates for the LTE versions of Friday. I was going to stop by the Apple Store when it opens on Friday and try my luck at snagging one there.

Anybody seeing these in stock on the East Coast? LTE?

Ordered my LTE mini from Verizon - will arrive on Friday!
