Apple Has Posted Christmas Ordering Deadlines on Its Website

Attention holiday shoppers! If you’re planning on ordering Christmas gifts via the online Apple Store, you’ve got a decent amount of time left. Well, unless you’re planning on ordering a personally engraved Retina iPad mini, for that you only have until December 5th to place your order.

AppAdvice:

For those ordering an iPad Air with custom engraving, the deadline for Christmas delivery is one week from today, Dec. 9. The custom engraving deadline on the iPad mini with Retina display is this Thursday, Dec. 5.

You have until December 18th to make up your mind about what to engrave on a first-generation iPad mini, and one day less to come up with the perfect message on an iPad 2.

If you’re planning on ordering a non-engraved iOS device, standard and next day shipping deadlines are as follows:

  • iPad mini with Retina display, Dec. 5, not available
  • iPad mini, Dec. 18, Dec. 22
  • iPad Air, Dec. 9, not available
  • iPad 2, Dec. 18, Dec. 22
  • iPhone 5s, Dec. 12, not available
  • iPhone 5c, Dec. 18, Dec. 22
  • iPhone 4s, Dec. 17, Dec. 22

Free shipping is available on all orders through Dec. 22.
