Apple Sells Out of Remaining iPad Mini Pre-Order Stock

Apple sold out of supplies of the white iPad mini from its pre-order cache in just minutes on Friday, while its supplies of the black model finally began to deplete on Saturday.

MacRumors:

Availability of the black models in the U.S. online store began to slip on Saturday, when shipping dates for the 16 GB Wi-Fi model moved to two weeks. The 32 GB and 64 GB models have now followed suit, and all Wi-Fi iPad mini models are now being quoted two-week shipping estimates. Apple is still quoting its original “Mid November” estimate for cellular-capable models in the U.S., with other countries seeing “Late November” estimates.

The new, smaller iPad will officially go on sale this Friday November 2 for those who were not able to place pre-orders. Apple Stores will begin sales on Friday at 8:00 AM.

The fourth-generation iPad will also be launching on Friday, and will see cellular-capable models being delayed until mid-to-late November.
