I don't believe Apple ever even confirmed a specific day for release.

On the site it still says, "Available second half of May".

So I don't think there is a confirmed date to worry about yet, just that pre order customers will start receiving their's the week of the 21st.
Exactly. They never said what the release date was. So we could see it arrive earlier than May 21st.
 
So, it's highly unlikely Apple will allow the logistics companies to deliver them before May 21, right?

Wondering if we might actually get the iPads before the 21st. That would be nice. I’ve been getting a little impatient.
yesterday afternoon my card was charged and status changed to preparing to ship.

12.9” silver, WiFi, 512gb.
Same configuration here, so it'll be interesting to see if that has anything to do with status changes.
 
I would say that despite whenever we get them Apple typically has a “launch date”, which I haven’t seen.
 
so annoying. placed my order for the 1TB 12.9" model as soon as the buggy app would allow me to, still shipping window is in June and "processing"!
 
Anyone have any luck pre ordering through AT&T? Was one of the first to order and have a may 28th - June 7th ship timeframe.

Is anyone from Canada, specifically Ontario getting the update that their iPad is preparing to ship?
 
Ontario, Canada here. Still no movement. May 25-28 date.
I find it odd others with a later date has the prepared to ship before mine even though I have the May 21-27 date. Probably because they’re in the USA which may have priority over Canada? 😅
