I think I never had so many apple products in a drawer waiting to be opened ?

at the moment I have Apple Pencil, apple Leather sleeve and airtags accessories waiting for the iPad Pro and some engraved airtags. Getting a little bit anxious.

its A difficult situation but I can not remember a messier launch by apple, not oficial launch date, not oficial pre order date and really few information in a +1.000 eur product...

" It's a difficult situation"....say what ?
"I can not remember a messier launch by apple".... look back at every product launch, no matter what product, there is always someone saying this.
This launch is like every other launch, Apple presents it, they say when you can order or buy in the shop, you order and wait it to bedelivered at the date you got at your order, what is messy about that ?

Yes you are "just" anxious :)

I can not remember apple giving dates as “second half of the month”. For every previous iPad, iPhone or Mac you had an specific date and hour for pre orders and an specific date where they will start selling it at the apple store and clients receiving their orders.

I said it’s a difficult situation for apple because chips shortages, and pandemic logistics. With Sony and nvidia saying that shortages will last until 2022 I can not imagine it will be much different for apple.

A little mysterious launch indeed, it's like Xmas came soon, with Tim as Santa himself. I got the pencil, a keyboard case and two 4packs of engraved Airtags with loops and keyrings, waiting to be delivered as the least imaginative Bday presents for family and friends.
Getting a little anxious too. With exam period over, I wish I could already take the iPad out with me. The summer is looking good with iPad at your hands, and for me it will be ready to get the job done in winter semester.

11” wifi 256GB in silver

Ordered within 20ish minutes, originally said delivery is 21-28, but some days ago I noticed this was changed to just the 28th.

Sorry if bit off topic, but does anybody have any knowledge what’s the availability at Apple resellers in EU?

I ordered iPad Pro 11’’ 256 GB Silver from a large electronics chain in Nordics (Elgiganten/Gigantti) that is an Apple authorized reseller. Their website currently says “delivery starting 25 May (not confirmed)”. I made the order same weekend when pre-ordering started at Apple.

Do you think there’s any possibility to get my iPad delivered around same time with those people ordering directly from Apple or should I prepare to wait much longer? Do Apple typically provide the resellers any inventory before the launch date of products or how does it work?
i wanted to buy from elgiganten as well.

But well, after 8 minutes i got impatient. The stock was already rumored to be small for 12.9(and it was), and elgiganten didnt refresh theirs on time. They were almost 20 minutes late in that game, and they still cant give a date. I usually like buying from such stores, it makes returns and repairs easy. Unfortunatly, they were too late for me. So i got directly from apples website.

It would be quite bad if they didnt have inventory for resellers. Otherwise you will likely end up getting your ipad late. i would however, recon that they will ship yours out in time. The stock for 11 inch should be good, so either way you will probably get it within the first week.

The order page is down for me too. That could also mean that they’re rearranging the orders.
Someone said in this thread that this is not the smoothest product preorder and release in the history of Apple products, and I totally agree. I don’t get anxious for this kind of stuff, I couldn’t care less if it takes 7 more days to be delivered, it’s just unusual for Apple to not have an explicit release date and, on top of that, have confused dates on order confirmations

Ive got an update to my order page. I checked via the Apple NL and Apple USA tracking pages
They say:
Your order can’t be changed at this time. If you’d like to make changes to this order, please try again in a few hours.

and also:
12,9‑inch iPad Pro, Wi‑Fi, 1 TB, spacegrijs
Wordt bezorgd: binnen 1-3 werkdagen na verzending door Expreslevering
translation: Arrives within 1-3 business days after being shipped with Express Delivery.

and the status has changed back to: Order Placed.

It also says this for the SmartFolio case too that I ordered in the same order. But I have already received it. Are the going to ship me another one?

Location: Netherlands

I thought it would be nice for all of us EU iPad Pro Pre-Orderers to have our own thread.
So, if anyone in the EU gets their order moved to preparing to ship or/and shipped we can all know.

I pre-orded in The Netherlands
iPad Pro 12.9, 1TB, WIFI, No Engraving, Space Gray
also I also ordered an Apple Smart Folio in Deep Navy (Delivered already 4 May)

Current status: Processing

Est. Delivery date is 21 May to 28 May
confirmation email was received at 12 mins pass opening time (given all the issues I think this was still quite early)

Looking forward to seeing what all the other EU pre-orders also have.

Don’t worry mate it’s the same for everyone :) Apple is just taking its sweet time.

my 2 cents; IPP 12.9 512GB SG, no engraving from the Netherlands. Ordered using credit card.
Order confirmation 6 minutes after live (had a lot of trouble ordering, had to retry like 5 times; the iPad kept being removed from my cart)
Showed 21-28 may in confirmation email, 28 may on order page (when it was available :p)
