its back!

They are never there long enough for me to get an alert .....and I was actually sleeping this time. Thanks - one day probably right after my order ships I will catch it on time :). What was the delivery date?

I have a blue pair coming from Amazon for a family member, ordered it Jan 18 and it will deliver Jan 27 (just pushed up from Feb 4, which I was originally quoted)

Thanks - I just wish Crutchfield would push up their ship date. It's now scheduled for Jan 29th (originally the 18th).
Here's hoping... I know you have been after the blue for a while, I usually check Amazon just a few times a day out of curiosity so I'll post here if they come available. Have you considered using the stock tracker website to alert you when Amazon gets stock? It worked great when I used it for mine. You can set up email alerts as soon as stock goes live for a specific color. Link to nowinstock.com

Thanks for the link - the stock tracker I was using is no more....let me sign up for this one. I had signed up for Amazon alerts but they have never alerted me for the blue ones. I will sign up for this stock tracker - thank you!

Slightly off topic:

Anyone thinking about eventually getting a second pair and creating a diy custom pair? Especially seeing as teardowns have been showing how ‘easy’ it is to detach the cups/headband

It would be so nice if we could see movement like this on US orders. Ordered my Space Gray pair on 12/30. Really hoping to see them ship out in the next week since people are seeing theirs arrive a month early in the US.

They are in stock now (14:25 EST) - I managed to snag a pre-order but not available until Feb 20th - https://www.amazon.com/New-Apple-Ai...ds=sky-blue+AirPods+max&qid=1611170621&sr=8-3

If Crutchfield comes through with their new delivery date I will cancel these....

As fun as this sounds, even if money weren't a consideration, I don't know how I'd improve upon the pink colorway. I like the headband and the cups, MAYBE I'd change the ear pads.. but I don't know to what.

Thats awesome! Hopefully not too much longer for you. Are you in US? When did you order? Hope you get to enjoy them!

I’m in the UK, I ordered them on the 5th of January, with an 8-10 week delivery.

I’m used to Apple delivering early of course, but I didn’t expect them quite so soon. They’re out for delivery today. All in all that’s a shade over 2 weeks, shaving a potential 8 weeks off my wait, definitely the most I’ve had an Apple delivery reduced by, that I can remember at least.

wow... I was so overjoyed to get that text, only to see they’re pushing my delivery date back ONE DAY!!!!
😩😩

RIP man 💀. I guess the good news is the final delivery date has improved by 6 days.

In general this isn't a good sign. Whatever logjam is still there and Apple doesn't feel like clearing it earlier. And there I was thinking that we'd get it by the end of this month. Ugh... we really might have to wait the full 8-10+ weeks 😑

Pink has grown on me since launch, but I don't think I could rock it straight up. I could see myself using the pink headband with blue cups or blue with rose gold. Or maybe just swap one cup between the pairs. idk lol.

I'll think about it again perhaps if these ever go on sale.
