If you’re looking to get your hands on an iPad mini after the big reveal this past Tuesday, now’s the time to pre-order, as Apple has launched pre-orders via its mobile app and online retail store, and shoppers can choose any version of the iPad mini or 4th generation iPad for the first batch of orders.
Following its story last week that suppliers to Apple had kicked off production of a smaller iPad – the so-called ‘iPad mini’ – the Wall Street Journal is now reporting Apple has ordered more than 10 million units for the fourth quarter of this year.
Apple CEO Tim Cook took time on the company’s earnings call today to comment on a specific rumor, which is an extreme oddity for Apple’s top-tier executives.
Here comes the iPad Mini, and apparently in a major way, if fresh reports that Apple (NASDAQ: AAPL) has ordered some 10 million of the downsized tablets are accurate.
Some Asian components producers are saying they’ve received orders to ready at least 10 million of the devices for the fourth quarter, about double the number for Amazon’s (NASDAQ: AMZN) Kindle Fire, according to a published report.
Too many orders or not enough iPads? Either way, if you haven't already placed your pre-order for the iPad you'll have to wait until at least June 8th for delivery.
The Apple Store just went down, and we know what’s coming next in this instance: iPad mini pre-orders start Oct. 26, and if past experience proves anything, they’ll come online first thing in the morning. So if you’re looking to get one of the first iPad minis, start refreshing feverishly.
Apple’s iPad mini shipping times have slipped to a minimum of two weeks across the board, including for Wi-Fi only versions, which were the only ones initially set for an earlier, November 2 delivery.
