After the first weekend of sales, Apple reported that consumers snapped up 3 million models of the iPad mini and the fourth-generation iPad. Analysts indicated they believe the lion’s share of those sales were for the iPad mini, though Apple did not break down the numbers in its release.
Apple still hasn’t given a firm date for when it will ship the LTE iPads, or when they will be coming to a store near you. The tablet has a 7.9-inch screen and starts at a price of $329. The LTE versions start at $459 and require a data plan with Sprint, Verizon or AT&T.
Meanwhile, iPhone 5 shipments are catching up with demand, AppleInsider reported, and may be immediately available in the coming weeks.

In an analyst’s note obtained by the blog, Munster said this was a “important step for Apple” and that the current trends indicate that it many only be “2-3” weeks before the iPhone 5 is consistently available in stores.
