Blog site 9to5 mac says they have inside sources claiming that the iPad mini will be going on sale on Nov 2.. 9to5 mac has been correct about all their leaked info. Apple is known to release devices a week or 2 after they revealed so this date doesn’t seem out of the ordinary .
We’ve heard whispers of Nov. 2 iPad Mini release date but nothing confirmed. Date makes sense (Friday) and we know stock is ramping
