on official website,
mini is just microphone
mini retina is dual microphone

but physically really much the same

If I not wrong. The 2nd microphone is at the back. Not at the top

earlier , consumer happy, later, consumers sure kpkb
then again.. its a double edge sword

you see some of us are quite kan chiong to get our hands on it.. and applied leave on that estimated delivery date..
then for all we know we miss the delivery guy coz he tried to delivery it early.. so we have to call them up to deliver on another day..

of course the best is to deliver to office.. no need to apply leaves and all..
yeah.. somemore delivery on weekends is also hard to say coz ppl tend to go out also..

hows ur first impression?

Well the lighting seems very even, which is good. My Silver iPad Air had the weird yellow left and blue right, which was quite irritating but the Apple online store replaced it without fuss.

Otherwise sharpness and weight are all as expected, which is what I observed from the display sets I've seen so far.

Wah congrats!

Can I just ask, how long did it take for yours to change from preparing for shipment to shipped?

Unfortunately I didn't track this, as I really expected it to be delivered next week. The Silver one i ordered seems more readily available though, and I did order within 3 seconds of the online store coming up on 12th Nov 4pm, so mine may have been one of the first few to be delivered.

I'm pretty sure most people will get their cellular iPad minis by next Monday if they ordered quickly enough from the online store.

Why cancelled?
I ordered for my friend first, one black 64GB LTE and one black wifi, then she told me she preferred white so I cancelled that order and reordered a 64GB white LTE and a black 128GB LTE, then she found a white LTE so I cancelled the white one. Then Apple emailed me and said I was over the max limit of two iPad mini and cancelled the order entirely...

If I were you, I will hang around at the HDB void deck or apartment entrance or standing at your bungalow's gold plated gate to spot the DHL delivery van or motor and give the guy or girl a glass of chilled fresh Apple juice! LOL! :s13::s13::s13:
