A note on Apple's Global Service Exchange website for those who provide repair services, says that the delayed Apple iPad mini with Retina display will be launched today, November 12th. But before you start reaching for your wallet, the message most likely contains an erroneous date. In the past, Apple has informed customers about the launch of a device with a release at 5:30am local time.
The problem is that some of the countries listed in the notice as receiving the device have already flipped the calendar over to November 12th without a word from Apple. The countries listed include Australia, China (Wi-Fi only), Hong Kong, Japan, New Zealand, Singapore and the U.S. The tablet, which features an improved 7.9 inch screen with resolution of 2048 x 1536 and an Apple A7 processor under the hood, will cost $399 for the 16GB Wi-Fi model, $499 for 32GB, $599 for 64GB and $699 for 128GB. Add $130 for cellular support.
