Well I've ordered a few other 29W USB-C chargers from Amazon to see if the latest 3rd party ones are a good alternative to Apple's pricey variant. I've actually tested 2 so far - one from Anker and one from Aukey, and I'm pretty sure they work @ 29W.

Well considering that the OEM 29w Apple charger only supplies 18w to the 10.5 IPP, I wouldn't expect you to get more than 18w from any 3rd party chargers.

Yup, I'm more interested in if they work at all. Previously 3rd party chargers would not work, it is good to have alternatives and not be locked into Apple's USB-C 29W adapter.

Mine arrives @ work tomorrow & I plan to hide it until I get home for the unboxing :D

Only thing is I won't have a case until next month, hopefully JisonCase on Amazon delivers a snug fit cover.
 
Apple has been processing my 12.9 256 Wifi SG order for 10 days now. No change in the delivery window (27-29 June), unfortunately.

The Smart Cover and the Pencil have already arrived.
Since I got the the Smart Cover, my iPad Air2 looks and feels tiny already.
And the Pencil makes me want to draw urgently.

BB for Business/Edu has my variant instock to ship - hoping that means mine is going to ship today then!!!! The guy is checking with logistics and calling me back.

This pencil still doesn't work on my Air no matter how many times I pick it up and try it ;)

I ordered the same model. My delivery window is from 21-28 June.
 
Are the shipping estimates on the Apple store for the 12.9 accurate or is anyone getting shipping sooner?
My window is 21-28. It was shipped yesterday and should come on the 27th.
My experience is that Apple is reliable about their estimated timeframe.
 
In Germany at least a couple of days ago it was ready for pick up 2 days later. Now the shipping times have slipped to around 5th July! (All iPad 10.5, 256GB models) - so either demand has picked up or something has gone wrong ;) Shame, was about to order one... but the late shipping times have somehow put me off for now...
 
After being processed for almost 12 days, my iPad Pro 12.9 has now been preparing for shipment for over 24 hours.
I was charged already (which is interesting. Amazon charges you when they actually ship your order).

If it's shipped before the weekend, the 27-29 Jun delivery window should/could hold.

*fingerscrossed*

The longer you wait, the later you'll get it.
And we both know you'll want/need/have to have it eventually :)
 
Update: Finally shipped.
It states "Express delivery" (unfortunately by TNT and not UPS or Fedex) and will, according to Apple, take until 29-Jun to get here.

If this were 1890, I would be flabbergasted - just one week for more than 100km? WOW!
But not in 2017.
 
Obviously BB4B logistics missed the target for mine... it hasn't shipped so obviously it won't be here today! Lol

I actually need it badly last night - I was stuck in bed early. Oh well, patience.
 
12.9" Space Grey 512GB Cellular scheduled to arrive on the 18th. I ordered it on June 20th, with an initially scheduled delivery for the 4th of July, on the 4th it changed to 21st, but luckily it's arriving on the 18th.

Apparently, there have been shortages in the UK of the 12.9

What the heck... :(

Was that through Apple? Yikes!

I ordered 12.9 256gb space gray wifi model yesterday and was quoted 26- Aug 2...

Was really hoping it would be sooner than that! I'm in the US
 
Ordered June 27, 12.9" 512gb Wifi Space Gray. (B and H Photo). "Processing". East Coast USA. Anyone know the approximate supply lag for third party distributors? :(

I order the exact same model/size June 8th, West Coast USA, from B&H. Still "Processing...". From what I could gleam from iStockNow.com and apple.com (a few weeks ago), I estimated that they may get their supply in around July 21st. Currently Apple's estimates are pointing to August, if you order now.
