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*

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

Ha ha ha, update, they called me today to say, "uh, sorry, we don't make them in your color anymore, so you can have the wrong color or just buy a brand new one for more hundred dollars." Would've been nice to have that information *yesterday*, wouldn't it?

@kyellgold ugh, yeah wish that had been clarified for sure.
