iPad mini 3 manufacture date

I bought a new iPad mini 3 today from our local Apple store and have a question regarding its date of manufacture. According to the serial # it was manufactured in August 2014 (three months before the launch of the iPad mini 3 in November 2014.


Is it normal for these units to be laying around in storage for over eight months before being sold? I would think Apple would have sold out of the iPad mini 3 many times over and had to have more made. Perhaps I just don't understand the process. Thanks in advance for any enlightening comments about this.

iMac, OS X Yosemite (10.10.3), null
