No smart keyboard for the new iPad mini. And yes, the 25th is the official release date I guess, with pick up at least at Best Buy, being available on the 29th for those who pre-order. Pre-ordering at Best Buy gets you a $25 discount if you were a member of “my Best Buy“. Same for the air with respect to the $25 pre-order. And that one does take a smart keyboard.
