Had plans on getting the iPad mini, I have some bad news for you. Both the white and black models are sold out and ready for shipping on Nov. 2. No word on when the devices will be restocked but for now like any new Apple release they are sold out.
To my surprise, at 12:03 a.m. Pacific, the white iPad mini had already sold out in the United Kingdom. Only the black model was available for November 2 delivery. And just over ten minutes later, it was a similar story for Apple’s U.S. online store.
It’s hard to tell at this point whether that’s due to high demand of the white model, or just severely constrained supplies. But I’m starting to believe it’s the latter, because more than four hours after the iPad mini first went on sale, the black model is still available for launch day delivery.
