iPhone 13 pre-orders begin shipping while iPad mini 6 will begin shipping from late October and November

Just two days after pre-orders began, Apple has sprung into action and has already begun shipping the first batch of iPhone 13 orders to early buyers. Unfortunately, however, this does not mean you can expect your iPhone 13 pre-order to arrive any earlier than the 24th of September, the official release date.

If you check your order status via the Apple Store Online or Apple Store App, you will likely see that your iPhone 13 pre-order is still ‘preparing to ship’. But, if you head to the logistics partner’s website, you can track the progress of your order and watch it make its way all the way to your respective state.

Carrier UPS will be the primary shipping service that Apple is going with, the logistics company has made changes to the ‘Track by Reference Number’ feature, to limit the ‘display of reference number tracking details for improved security, this means that you will get the best experience by enrolling in the UPS Choice Platform.

Once you do find your particular package, you can track it as it travels around the world and arrives at your doorstep on 24th September.

Apple ensures that you do not receive your package before the scheduled release date, remember that Apple is no longer including headphones or a charging brick in the iPhone 13 this year due to environmental concerns.

iPad Mini 6 shipping delayed:

The iPad Mini 6 pre-orders opened up after the ‘California Streaming’ event, with the first orders arriving on the 24th of September, if you waited till today to attempt to pre-order one by next week, you will end up having to wait till at least the second half of October to receive it from the Apple Online Store.

According to Loop’s Dark Mark, some iPad Mini 6’s earliest deliveries are now pushed out to October 19th to November 2nd.

If you attempt to pre-order the Space Gray iPad Mini 6 with 64GB of RAM and Wi-Fi only, its shipment delivery is expected from 4-6 weeks from its launch.

On the other hand, if you fancy the new Pink color, you will still be able to get it by 24th September. All of the 256GB iPad Mini 6 with Wi-Fi+ Cellular have also a shipment delivery date expected from 4-6 weeks post its launch.

It is not clear if the shipping estimates are due to popularity or supply shortages. The Apple iPad Mini6 features a redesigned 8.3″ display, it follows the iPad Air 4 and puts the Touch ID on the Top button.

This will also be the only iPad with the A15 Bionic chip, for the first time, the iPad Mini 6 now supports second-generation Apple Pencil as it has improved cameras. The main camera has 12MP and can record videos in 4K while the front-facing camera has an Ultra-wide lens with Center Stage capabilities.
