What a clusterF. I am trading in my old iPad Pro 9.7 . From my iMac, 5 minutes of "finishing touches" then at the ipad serial number "try your request later" x 10, then bad gateway, then waiting for "xp.apple.com" then "Oooops!" Finally I gave up and went to the Apple Store app on my ipad, 4 or 5 more minutes of slowness, then finally made it to Apple Pay and the date is now Nov-3-5 standard delivery since I didn't want to pay the 8$ for getting it one day sooner. Then since I had a session from the iMac the total was for two iPads! Deleting took a couple more minutes. Then Apple Pay at first declined my charge , tried again and it went through. Sigh. 25 minutes of cr*p. Sorry for all the "thens" it's early and I am sleepy.

Looking forward to the airplane tracking threads that will start soon.
P.S. The reason I didn't want to use the Apple Store app first was that I didn't want to have to type the trade-in serial number or buffer it up. I had the S/N waiting to be pasted on the iMac. It didn't matter! The Apple store app on the iPad asked if the trade in was the device I was on, cool, no S/N tomfoolery. Wish I had known that at 5AM! Still P'oed I am not in the 23Oct delivery group.
