Pre-orders for the iPad mini 6 are now open, and those who ordered the compact tablet first will receive their devices as early as this Friday However, Apple customers living in the US who are still eyeing the new iPad mini 6 may have to wait a while, as the shipping schedule has been extended until November
This delay may be affecting other regions as well We tried ordering a purple iPad mini 6 with 256GB of storage and it was supposed to be delivered between October 21 and November 4 Yikes
Apple's latest generation of compact tablets should be worth the wait In his review of the iPad mini 6, Editor Henry T Casey highlighted the tablet's powerful performance, transportable design, and bright display iPad mini 6 is a great choice for Apple 's latest iPhone 13 lineup, with the same A15 Bionic chip and support for the Apple Pencil 2 Add to that the long battery life, and it's easy to see why this tablet is in high demand
Apparently, latency depends more on the color of the iPad mini 6 you choose than on storage capacity Last we checked, the pink iPad mini 6 will likely wait 3-4 weeks to ship, while the Starlight and Purple options will take even longer, with Apple's website stating 4-6 weeks
However, the Apple online store in the UK does not appear to be affected I added different colors and configurations to my cart, and the earliest delivery date was September 27-19 (ie, next week) [It has only been a week since the iPad mini 6 was announced at Apple's September event The delay in shipments probably has something to do with Apple's struggle to keep up with demand After all, this would not be the first time such a delay has occurred shortly after a new product launch
A similar shipping delay occurred with the iPad Pro 2021 shortly after this year's Spring Loaded event While the launch of this device was somewhat unexpected, the M1-powered tablet quickly became one of the best tablets overall As a result, Apple may have received more orders than it could process, and the shipping schedule was pushed back three to four weeks
