tl;dr don't wipe your device until new one is in hand 

Apple Store Employee: Do you want to wipe your old iPad while you wait for them to bring out the new one?
Me: Nah, I'll wait...just in case.
[they bring out the battery replacement iPad]
[it is the wrong color even though I'm sure the correct color was on the order]
Me: *takes intact old iPad home to wait for the right color to be ordered*

@kyellgold Now I want to know the wrong color.

Admit it though "The Device of the Wrong Hue" would be a Doyle story

re: tl;dr don't wipe your device until new one is in hand 

@ZiaMacPine The wrong one was boring space grey. And that would be a good title!

re: tl;dr don't wipe your device until new one is in hand 

@kyellgold Oh yeah that wouldn't fit your decor or style at all. Send it away *banishes*

The color isn't key to the mystery it is the reason why the investigation begins.
