Maybe we have an odd configuration? 7-Core GPU with 16GiB of RAM, plus 1TB of SSD. Most people will likely to get 7-Core with 8GiB and 512GB.
Got a tip for us?

Apple Silicon MacBook Air/Pro Mac mini Order Status Thread

Won't see it this year, that's for sure. I wonder if they could ship tomorrow, given the fact it's the last monday of the year.
I have a mini coming tomorrow from UPS. I live in the San Jose, California area. This same system came a few weeks ago, and UPS said it was stolen from the San Jose customer center before it was loaded on the truck! Apple replaced it, and I have a new one coming tomorrow. I tries to put it on hold so I could pick it up, and UPS claims Apple no longer allows that. Has anyone else heard of that? Ive done it in the past with no issue.
Thanks
Thanks
Just ordered a silver M1 MacBook Air (8 GPU Core). 16GB of RAM, and 1TB SSD. A friend who works for Apple used his once-per-year 25% off Mac discount (as it's use-it-or-lose-it and it rolls over at the start of 2021). It's still in processing (my Apple Card still hasn't realized that it was used). I sold a never-opened Apple Certified Refurbished Silver 2019 MacBook Air that I was going to use, but lost interest in setting up once Apple killed off the butterfly keyboards. Between that sale, a $250 Apple gift card from my mom and stepdad got me for Christmas, and an Apple Store "refund" gift card I got from Apple by buying an iPhone 11 two days before the price drop that came when the iPhone 12 series came out, I still have $39 left over!
The silly thing is that I'm still pending to buy a 2020 4-port Ice Lake 13" MacBook Pro which will be my primary Mac upgrade (as most of my Mac needs still require Intel and probably will for the foreseeable future). I do IT and Mac consulting, so the M1 Air serves the function of getting me acquainted with Apple Silicon Macs and all of the various differences that I ought to become familiar with for career reasons. Still excited nonetheless though!

Just received shipping notification, now scheduled for Jan 6 delivery. UPS shows it left Shenzhen, China and is now in Hong Kong.
Interesting. I have the same specs as you. Ordered Dec 11, still at processing.
It didn’t ship today but it finally moved from “Processing” to “Preparing to Ship” sometime this evening. Hopefully I see an update with tracking soon!
Ordered an M1 Space Grey MBP 13 inch 16GB/1TB on December 15, delivery estimate is between January 15 -22. New machine is replacing a 2018 MBP 16 inch 32GB/2TB machine. Will update when shipping status comes out of processing. Appreciate updates here. Been through this long process many times in the past...maybe not with this kind of demand though in the middle of a pandemic.
Update:
MBA 7 Core / 8GB / 512GB Rose Gold ordered on Dec 8th
Apple delivery window of Dec 31st - Jan 7th.
FedEx delivery info still says Dec 31st
Credit Card was charged December 21st.
AppleCare Warranty started December 25th, 2020 (wtf?)
It looks like MBA's are especially delayed. If you want gifts from Apple in time for Christmas, order them in August (somewhat kidding)
I know I am complaining, but with hundreds, if not thousands of aircraft sitting idle in deserts around the world + tens of millions of people out of work across the world; these delays are because companies are unwilling to make it happen. They are unwilling to hire, they are unwilling to invest in a supply chain to meet demand, they are unwilling to charter aircraft to meet demand. Take Amazon for example, I ordered something on Sunday at 11:30 PM, and received it today. I applaud Amazon on their efforts to exceed expectations. Even outside the Amazon-world, I ordered a pineapple from Hawaii on December 18th, and it arrived December 21st.
Funny how that is; Amazon is able to meet and exceed customer expectations so much, that they shape the experience consumers come to expect from all brands. I used to consider Apple on a higher tier than Amazon (with execution, customer satisfaction, etc). Amazon knows shipping delays are an issue. They don't make excuses and push delivery dates out months, they invest in logistics.
The experience with Applecare starting 2 weeks before the device is even scheduled to arrive is just...disappointing and...a head scratcher. This is supposed to be the #1 brand in the world, and they can't write the logic to have AppleCare start either; the day that the device is delivered (simple GET/POST API calls to UPS/FedEx/Apple), or the first day the notebook powers on and connects to the internet (boot-up, connect to SSID, get IP address, POST API call from device to Apple - boom AppleCare activated). Their crappy processes required making phone calls to support, canceling AppleCare, refunding credit cards - and I still need to go buy AppleCare a second time whenever the device decides to show up. You would think that they would have mature enough processes that consumers couldn't sit and whiteboard out solutions to problems in their processes while waiting for their purchase, just sayin.
They got the willpower and $ to create their own silicon......they can do anything. B4 they go off trying to make vehicles, I hope Apple fixes AppleCare registration + invests some $ in logistics.
I'd have bought it locally at the AppleCare store, but in a city with over 400,000 people in the MSA; the closes AppleCare store is like 80 minutes away (another example of Apple unwilling to invest).
Anyone want to place any wagers on the device showing up damaged/defective? Be hilarious if I have to return it and wait another month for a replacement. I've read enough reports of people receiving defective M1 MBA's that it wouldn't surprise me....

Damn dude. Did the 3rd party you ordered from sit on it for a few days before they pushed it through to Apple?
well my MBP has been scanned in at my local depot as of this morning. It could have been delivered but there were some hiccups with UPS.
7:06am
Arrived at Facility.
9:03am
We've incorrectly sorted this package which may cause a delay.
9:51am
The shipment is being held. Commodity description information must be validated by the sender or importer.
It’s still scheduled for tomorrow with UPS. Fingers crossed it goes out tomorrow
