Apple Silicon MacBook Air/Pro Mac mini Order Status Thread

I wasn't able to secure an "early" delivery for my M1 base config MBA.
I am really tempted to just hop on over to my local Apple Store and pick one up at this rate....

Really debating trading in my 2019 128gb 13" MBP for the new Air. I don't use my MacBook all that often honestly but it looks so good. Might try to go through craiglist/offer up/eBay rather than trade in since the resale is so much better there. IDK.
Same here. That really sucks. I have a trade-in-kit with this order otherwise I could have just returned this MacBook and get one today from an Apple Store. Will have to be patient I guess. UPS Sucks.
Mine was originally for delivery 11/18-11/19 and has not moved - its still in the Processing stage.Mine was originally estimated to be delivered Nov 23-24, and has now moved from Processing to Preparing to Ship with a deliver date of Nov 19 (my wedding anniversary). This was ironic, as I was getting ready to place the same order again, but to have it picked up at my local Apple Store on Nov 18, and as I went to cancel the earlier order it suddenly switched to Preparing to Ship, and I was unable to Cancel it. No matter, it saves me a car trip, plus what's in a day during this lockdown.
BTW... I've seen a few images of the Mac mini M1 with its bottom black plate and inner perforated metal plate removed, and was absolutely amazed at all the empty space inside. It seems the inside is just the M1 board and a big ole fan enclosure. To me, there's enough space inside this mini to house 3x 15mm 2.5" spinners or 3 or 4 thin SATA SSDs.
I have to assume Apple did not want to resize or remanufacture a NEW Mac mini case for the smaller M1 components.... but who knows what their intentions are for expanding the Mac mini M1 in the future.
So frustrating!
That's what I did with the iPhone 12 Pro - ended up getting the phone on launch weekend at the Apple store after I paid for it the day before.
My pre-ordered phone was not seen for 3 weeks afterwards - talk about deceit by Apple.
If there's MBP 16/512 available at Apple Store, I 100% would get it and just return this. Also looking at reviews for MBA 16/1TB compared to MBP as another option. I do have base MBP 2019 right now and I hate how loud the fan is.
My base Air just arrived in BC, Canada. UPS tracking didn't even show as out for delivery.
My package has been stuck at "Clearance in Progress" since around 12 pm.
"We currently have the package. The receiver requested clearance by a non-UPS broker. / As requested, the package was transferred to a Free Trade Zone or a non-UPS broker."
It sucks since it was in Lachine, QC. So close yet so far

Well I still have the 2017 MBP, Apple replaced the keyboard 3 X. And yeah the fan is also annoying. I like when Apple uses Fedex, they are accurate and very quick.
Can't you still do the trade-in kit with the online order for in-store pickup? That's what I have as an option.
Got a text this morning (6 am) from apple that it's been dispatched and my estimated delivery date has been reduced from the 27th to the 23rd - MBP M1 16GB 512GB
Just picked up a 2020 MBA - my store had in stock so I canceled my order due in December

It is now 1:17pm and there is only 3 hours left in the time window that UPS has promised to deliver my M1 laptop by...C'mon UPS!
Didn't want to take risks for in-store pick up because of this pandemic. We never know when the government could lock us down. And it's my first time doing a trade-in, don't have much experience.
Lucky! Mine mbp 16gb/512 is still in Shanghai and was originally scheduled for nov 24-27. When did you order it?
If that is the case, I will just binge The Crown on Netflix until my laptop arrives! Gotta kill the time somehow!
