Hey, could you tell me the exact wording on UPS's status? Did you get the departure scan? Or is it the in transit, customs cleared?
It says: 5:37 „shipped“ and then the next one: 7:54 „on the way“ both with Shanghai as location…

Says that on the website for me, but the UPS app draws a slightly different picture

Had some fun trying to puzzle out UPS flights, for those of us expecting deliveries towards the end of the week:
  1. It looks like shipments left Shanghai and cleared customs around 5am local time, according to UPS tracking.
  2. There was a UPS flight from Shanghai to Incheon (5X81) that departed Shanghai at 5:20am and arrived at Incheon at 07:37am local time which would line up nicely with that.
  3. Then we have a UPS flight from Incheon to Cologne (5X11) that departed that afternoon and then landed in Germany about an hour ago at 19:42.
Obviously this is kind of a guessing game with the limited tracking info we're getting, but this is my best guess for flight routes. Hopefully that means the shipment is actually in Germany now :)

That Space Gray looks awesome. I've had silver for years and this is the first time I ordered a Space Gray one. Bit anxious to be honest (but I also had silver iPhones for years and this is the first year I got something else (SG)).
Space Gray is definitely my favourite :) I wish Apple would use the same color on all their devices, instead of just using the same names but the colors being slightly different.

Mine has been Out for Delivery all day. Was hoping to get it sooner today. Thankfully I've been busy with work and wouldn't have a ton of time to play with it.

I do love the space grey colour on the Mac. Though after seeing the midnight on iPhone 13, I wish we had that option as well.

I was hoping a bit they would introduce Sierra Blue to the MBP line, it would have looked awesome I'm sure. But I wanted to change things up a bit this time (hence also the SB iPhone). Still have a silver M1 Air though hahaha.

I ordered from Apple on launch day and got a delivery window of 9 - 16 November.
Just ordered same spec from John Lewis in the UK for delivery tomorrow and includes a 2yr warranty.

It looks worse on the picture than it looks in real life (in my opinion).

Thanks, I think I can live with this :D
I took a video of the blooming, because you really can see the dimming zones go on and off while moving the cursor around. I have to say this is with full brightness. Normally I wouldn't turn the brightness up like this in those conditions. If you use normal brightness it's bare noticeable.

Just got message from apple… my Mac is shipped! (Originally estimated: Nov 3rd-8th)

UPS says it just left China… and is supposed to be delivered Friday morning (which happens to my birthday…hooray)
I just hope our local „airport“ (Berlin, BER) actually works this time without to big delays…
Probably gonna go to cologne and from there by truck. So the BER shouldn’t cause any trouble this time.
