iPhone 13, the 2021 iPad mini and the ninth-generation iPad hit the Apple Store on Friday morning. Cupertino showed off photos of customers getting their hands on its newest devices in Beijing to celebrate the occasion.

Those who preordered online last week also started receiving their new devices today. Twitter and other online platforms have become flooded with images from excited Apple customers with new products to unpack.

With its improved cameras, smaller notch and faster A15 Bionic processor, iPhone 13 makes for a big upgrade over its predecessors. The new iPad mini is even more exciting with its vastly improved design and Liquid Retina display.

The refreshed 10.2-inch iPad didn’t change a great deal this year, but it does come with a faster A13 Bionic chip and an improved front-facing camera with Center Stage — all for same affordable price tag of $329.

And, if you’re lucky, you’ll be one of the first to receive one of Apple’s newest devices today. They just went on sale around the world, and Apple fans everywhere have been sharing photos of their arrival.
