As it did for the iPhone 5,
 Apple has begun its Personal Pickup program for the iPad Mini. Personal
 Pickup allows customers to buy a device on Apple’s website or mobile 
app between 10PM and 4AM and pick it up in store the next day (or 
whenever inventory is available). There are a number of stores across 
the country sold out of the iPad Mini, so Personal Pickup may be your best bet to getting the 7.9-inch tablet ASAP.
