It appears those who ordered the LTE iPad minis late last night in the U.S. will start receiving theirs about Nov. 23, according to what we heard from a number of early buyers. Orders placed overseas are generally less specific. Apple notes only LTE models will ship “mid-November” in its advertising:
Nov. 23 is Black Friday, for those who keep track of such things.
@9to5mac ordered at 0300hrs and it says delivers 11/23. Wtf?
