iPad Pro In-store UK Availability of M1 iPad Pro

[Matt2000]

Hello everyone.

I am quite new here, but I am wondering if anyone could give me some guidance on how the in store release for the new iPad releases usually works in the UK - basically I want to buy the new iPad at a store next weekend if it’s avaliable.

We know the release day should be this Friday (21st) and I am wondering how quickly from this date will the iPad be readily available at an Apple Store to those who haven’t pre ordered?

I normally pre order if something comes out that I want to buy, but I’ve been taking time to decide if it would have been worth it.

Hope someone can help! In Store Pickup currently shows as unavailable here in the UK, guessing that will update Friday morning?

Stock should be available on Friday and a good chance other retailers like Currys, Argos, JohnLewis etc. will have some stock the same day but likely to be limited.

I only expect there to be a few devices at each store.

Agreed. I think from memory, only one launch failed to have any stock at other retailers on launch day although it they showed up a day or two later. Stock will definitely be limited though.

I think I’ll order Friday and then pick up in store when I go to the store on Sunday. I am guessing they hold orders in the store for a few days?
