    In the absence of punctuation, it could mean either
    ipad pro NOT MINI he wanted

    ...iPad Pro, not the mini he wanted.....or
    ...iPad Pro, not the mini, he wanted.

    I take it that as
    NOT MINI was in caps, then that was what they wanted....

    We will just have to wait and see if the OP comes back with a update

    I thought the same as you. Had a nicely prepared post. Went to quote the OP Then re read it a few times, to make sure as it's not the best way to word it..

    Bought pro, not mini. :rotfl:

    So sounds like realised spent £££ more than they should and are looking for a way out.

    Hi everyone,

    I bought an ipad mini for me Dad last wkend and as I showed it to him i noticed that half the cellophane was hanging off the box. Where u would pull the tab to open the sealed outer box.

    I stopped my dad in his tracks and luckily he then said it was wrong one and ipad pro NOT MINI he wanted aghh.

    OP bought an Ipad Mini, his/her dad wanted an Ipad Pro. No question about it.
