Bought an IPad Mini with Verizon Internet Yesterday from Apple.com


Recommended Posts

I bought the 16 GB White/Silver with Verizon Cellular Model Yesterday on Apple.com. It will Ship in Mid November. This is the first time that I bought a Cellular IPad. Just FYI.

P.S. For those of you who are wondering exactly why I am buying this after recently Financing my IPhone 5 2 months ago, I had an increase in my Social Security Disability Benitfits as a result of becoming a Medicare/Medicaid Dual Eligible (just recently finally took effect) and I got rid of my Secondary Line on Verizon so my Money situation is better now.

Forgot to update this post that I received the IPad Mini on Thursday! Now I am just waiting for Verizon to send me a Sim Card with the Correct Phone Number on it so that I don't have to Deactivate my IPhone 5 to get new Service on the Device. It's supposed to be here no later than Tuesday.

Yes I do, I have been playing around with testing Apple IOS 6.1.0 Beta 2 all Weekend long (since the WIFI + Cellular Builds got posted on the Apple Developer Portal on Friday, or at least that's when it finally showed up on my IOS Developer Page) that I completely forgot to Update this Post that I had received the Verizon Wireless Apple IPad Mini on Thursday Morning by FedEx International Shipping (it Shipped from Foxconn in China as expected). It seems that any new Products on The Apple Store always ship directly from Foxconn, at least until they have their U.S.A. warehouses stocked up with adequate supply. :-)

I would enjoy it more however, if I didn't have to wait until Tuesday Evening to get the Sim Card that Verizon Wireless is sending me so that I don't have to Deactivate my Verizon Wireless Apple IPhone 5 just to get Service with them. Their sending me a New Sim Card since the one Apple sent me with my Apple.com Order did NOT come with an Extra Phone Number to use with the IPad Mini. :-(

By the way, just in case any body is wondering why I did NOT go for either a 4th Gen IPad with Cellular ($629) or a Microsoft Surface ($499), their just plain out of my reach right now with the Holiday's coming up and the fact that my 2010 Mac Mini is most likely NOT going to be able to run Next Year's Apple Mac OS. $459 for a 16 GB Apple IPad Mini seemed just right for me right now. :-)

    • Be sure to toss in a couple tacos to sweeten the deal, no one else sells better bridges!
    • Online didn't launch until October of 2013. So no one could play it. Even then there were issues.
    • Google Finance is now out of beta with improved portfolio tracking and a new Android app by Karthik Mudaliar Google is taking its redesigned Google Finance experience out of beta and adding several new features, including portfolio tracking, scheduled market briefings, and a dedicated Android app. The company says the updates are beginning to roll out globally this week, while an iOS app is planned for later in 2026. The most notable addition is the new portfolio feature. Instead of entering every investment manually, users can upload a screenshot, CSV file, or PDF containing their holdings. They can also tell Google Finance what they own using natural language, such as the number of shares held in a particular company or fund. Google Finance will then place those investments into a dashboard showing performance, asset allocation, concentration risk, and the holdings responsible for the biggest gains or losses. Existing portfolios created with the older version of Google Finance should appear automatically. The built-in AI research panel can use the portfolio as context when answering questions. For example, users can ask which sectors are underrepresented or how their fixed-income allocation could affect long-term growth. Google says portfolio data will remain private and that uploaded files and images will not be retained. Users will also be able to edit or delete their portfolio information after it has been imported. Google Finance is also getting scheduled tasks. These let users request recurring reports such as a daily summary of overnight cryptocurrency movements or a weekly update about newly announced initial public offerings. There is also a new Google Finance app for Android. It includes watchlists, interactive charts, real-time market data, a live news feed, and the same AI research panel available on the web. Google has been gradually expanding the AI-powered Finance redesign since it first entered testing. In April, the experience was expanded to more than 100 countries, bringing its research tools, advanced charts, and market news to a much larger audience. That was followed by a wider European rollout in May, which added features including live earnings calls, transcripts, and AI-generated summaries. The ability to import an entire portfolio from a screenshot or document should make Google Finance considerably easier to set up. However, Android users will have to wait for feature parity with the web version, and Google has yet to say exactly when the iOS app will arrive.
