I have also the same feeling. It will definitely be delievered on the same days as 12.9inch whether its on 21st or before or after but will deliver on same day.
Got a tip for us?

Ultimately it seems left to the driver, which means it’s dependent on how he feels that day and how hard UPS management is pushing for getting deliveries through, which may have a further dependence on seasonal load (which also increases number of less experienced drivers). I think ultimately UPS can be liable for the insured value at least if they ignore a “signature required” explicit or implicit requirement on the package, but by the time you get through that we’ll probably have M2 iPad Pros. If you use a credit card claim, that fight will be left to the credit card company if they decide to pursue it. I have generally found a FedEx in my area to be better at asking for signatures, but ultimately it ends up being how much risk the driver feels in just leaving the package vs. getting on to the next delivery. The driver probably has no consequences if an occasional delivery is swiped; probably he would have mire problems if it was repeatedly with high ticket items in the same place and there was a request for signature.
Depends if bought at same time with new device. Then it will show the activation date of the device for the AC+ expiration date.Oh right it's indeed the date of purchase! I forgot
Possibly. Could explain no movement unless some staggered release. Should have been easier to get initial stock amounts for launch. The Apple TV will probably ship that way.
For those waiting for the 12.9” Logitec keyboard: I noticed it is available now for immediate shipment from the Logitech site. It is still listed as delivering 5/21–5/28 on my Apple Store order and has a slightly later delivery date if you tired to order it today from the Apple Store. I also notice that it is $0.04 cheaper at the Apple store (+tax), if you care. For me, if I already had the tablet I would probably jump but since my delivery on the tablet is still at 6/9–23, seems silly.
I don't recall Apple shipments from China coming from Zhengzhou. They've usually been from Shenzhen (China's Silicon Valley). Both cities are megalopolises, but Shenzhen is more active.
Cargo planes don't always run on a schedule. Making the assumption that the next stop would be Anchorage, there are usually several cargo flights from Zhengzhou. The next one is typically Sunday, CST.
Of course, UPS could just fly their own airplane into Zhengzhou, but there is no indication they have ever gone there.

Also, the order is already placed so the hype won't change anything for the current orders
My Amazon pre-order (12.9 256GB space gray, ordered late on April 30th) just got an estimated delivery date of 5/26. No updates from Best Buy ordered at the same time. Happy with the 26th as my b-day is the 27th.
Zhengzhou is Apple-Foconn's biggest facility. Makes like 50% of iPhones and employs over 300,000 people, they call it iPhone City.
So I was wondering if Apple was right on their estimated shipping date range that was given on the order date or if they are actually shipping a little early. Comments? (I'm scheduled to receive mine between June 23rd to July 8th)
Those are probelly in the states since the technology is the same as the other ones apart from the M1 chip.
Agreed, I just want the thrill of my tracking number lol.
Me too. Got my preorder in nice and early, 11" 256Gb wifi. Still processing... processing... processing.
I am going mad.
I didn't realize how often I used my old iPad pro until it got stolen a month ago. It's driving me crazy not to have one. I probably wouldn't have ordered a new one if I still had it. No reason not to now though. I got an 11" pro WiFi 1TB. Come on Apple... I NEED IT
