All iPads iPad delivery date tracker

Just also strange on how Apple did the pre-orders on April 30 and things won’t come out til May 21 that should give Apple enough time to stock up there warehouses. normally it’s like a then go on pre order one day then the following week they arrive

My confirmation E-Mail came in 13 minutes after ordering opened up. Had problems like most of us, because i added the iPad and the MKB. Should've ordered the keyboard separately.
Got the second shipping window.

I gave up ordering the keyboard and pencil together after a few tries - the silly check-out window kept emptying the iPad or saying “not in stock.” So I ordered them separately.

Does anyone know how AppleCare+ works when you purchase the magic keyboard and pencil separately (literally minutes apart). I called Apple and every customer service agent I’ve spoken to said something different…”oh no, you have to purchase them together.”…”Wait until your orders arrives and call us with their serial numbers.”…“You’ll have to cancel your order and purchase these items under the same order number.”

Pretty annoying and frustrating given that the website was giving us the issues.

I ordered the 12.9" and somewhat hope for good news from WWDC. I'm not sure if I'll keep it if nothing happens. Don't know what I need a M1 in my iPad for then if I can't push it. I'll probably send it back then, get a cheaper iPad and a MacBook Air or something.

I refuse to believe nothing big will come out of WWDC. The specs of the iPad Pro allows for Apple to push the boundaries of what an iPad normally does. Because if that's not the case... as you just mention most will settle for a M1 MBA or MBP and call it a day.

I'm spending north of 2k for an iPad Pro...with no Magic Keyboard. I can get a MBP with the same specs that come with a keyboard.. for hundred bucks cheaper. I'm not trying to be against ordering it. I enjoy having an iPad Pro, but Apple has to make us believe the price is justifiable.

Within only 5 mins... and its arriving on 27th. That seems silly of Apple. My order from Best Buy hasn't moved off the 21st. And I ordered it at 7 mins after preorder window open, same configuration as yours.

I look forward not only to tracking my own shipment, but hearing how others' shipments are coming along. Mine just has a late May, early June shipping dates. Let's just hope the Suez Canal doesn't get blocked again

 

[David53]

I don’t think that you’re going to have to worry about the Suez Canal in this case. Even when being shipped from China, as I assume the majority of preorders are, it seems that they are airlifted to Anchorage first, then to Tennessee, at least for the USA. Canadian orders would likely take a different route, but it’s still possible that they would go through the same two US ports before getting to Canada, possibly Toronto first and then onwards.

I can’t speak for Europe or other countries, though, but I think the initial leg of the trip would still be by air, before local shipping takes over.

until may 20? mine is 2. july. done it couple weeks ago, when it was possible...

I was just saying
how strange the iPad Pro pre-orders are
Since like the iPhone 12 in Purple and theAirTag the pre-order was was like on April 23rd, and were available on April 30 (launch date)


The iPad pro pre-orders started April 30, but they are available intil May 21(launch date) - so that should of gave Apple enough time to stock up

One thing that I was curious about, for those fortunate enough to secure the “earliest” delivery window of May 21-27, was how quickly you got your orders in on April 30? I’m assuming that you had to be within 15 minutes of when the site was open for preorders.

I‘m particularly referring to those orders directly from Apple, for any of the 12.9” models.

I was about 1/2 hour “late”, but the window was still showing as June 4th to 10th, and that’s for 512 GB of storage, space grey. I’m in Canada, btw.

I ordered within the first 5 minutes. I am in US. My window is 21-28th. 256 WiFi only 12.9 space grey

US purchasers: Shenzen Special Economic Zone PRC Apple manufacturing to Shanghai Airport. UPS air freighter to Anchorage connect UPS air freighters (multiple daily flights) to Louisville KY airport and UPS hub. Clear US Customs and loaded on yet another UPS air freighter to the purchaser's destination UPS airport hub then on the truck to you. When this system is humming along w/o delays it is a 48 to 72 hour journey from manufacturer to your hands. That is why other commenters have stated not to sweat it. When it is your turn, delivery happens quickly.

I am new to it so I haven't had to deal with it yet... But the text of the Apple Care+ Agreement doesn't mention they have to be purchased together.

Also when I purchased (and returned ahead of the 2021 model) my 2020 IPP w/ Apple Care the agreement email only mentioned the iPad serial number not the pencil which was purchased with it even though it would be covered.

Good to know! Definitely didn't want to cancel my order and have to wait until July for the iPad. Thanks so much ?

That discount!

 

[Apple Mac Daz]

That is pre UK VAT but I have Student Discount

I always get my Apple stuff engraved when it is offered. I've never had it delay a shipment, and I've been doing this a long time now. It is pretty remarkable, really. I think those Apple Elves have some strong magic.

 

[cmbarclay]

Just tried checking my order and the order page keep crashing guess I'm not the only one

 

[bige12]

Yeap the page is is crashing or its down since it won't even let me login to check the order

 

[kjwamlex]

Hopefully their updating all of the early orders to preparing to ship status.

 

[bige12]

[cpatrick08]

Thanks to all who answered my question about “order time of day” and shipping time.

My thoughts are that the only ones who will be getting the “earliest” delivery window are the ones who placed their orders in the first 15 minutes. Then, the next window may have been in the next 15 minutes.

My confirmation email was 39 minutes after the site was opened for ordering, and my delivery window is 2 weeks after the initial window. I’m thinking that I’m in the third group.

Obviously, it will be storage size dependent as well, whether engraving was ordered(that actually seems to be speeding orders up, oddly enough), and possibly even colour dependent as well. Space Grey seems to be the most popular. I don’t know about the storage size, but possibly the 256, 512 GB and 1 TB sizes are more popular than the smallest and largest sizes.

There seems to be lots of stock of the 11 inch version.

I ordered the 12.9” 256gb wifi silver no engraving within the first 5-10 minutes of when the button turned blue and my delivery time frame is may 27 - June 2.I did have 2 messages saying something about adjusting the availability when I first hit the button To purchase resulting in my having to add it twice more to the cart. I’m from canada as well..

Non-engraved 12.9" 256 GB, cell, space grey just got charged to my card! Still showing as processing but expecting to change to preparing to ship any time now! I'm in the US and placed my order about 3 minutes after opening due to cart issues.

Getting charged 10 days before the supposed arrival date is crazy early for Apple. Me thinks they booked slow transport from China, or we are getting them before the 21st. Here's hoping for the latter!

Update, changed to preparing to ship!
