I checked my order. My order was placed at 13:03 and has gone from this to this;

if you want it be like mine, you can edit the Shared shipping updates to your another Email.

Mine also showed arrives on the 27th a few days ago, then I updated my email and it became arriving on the 21st-27th.

It’s strange that on third party sites it says it will be released on the 27th May. And Apple are saying 21st to the 27th. Do you think Apple will only let third parties have stock once they fulfil their orders. Or do you think third parties will get them on the 21st and dispatch them straight away? Hoping to get mine from Amazon before the 28th!!

I think it’s 27th Apple release in U.K.

28th Amazon delivery.

this lines up with the airtag dates provided by Amazon and Apple.

I agree. Far too many suppliers are all consistently saying 27th for release.

That said, I know TechData are expecting some really small quantities (less than 20) of some models on 19/05 but the majority of their supply (1000+ units) appears to be arriving 02/06-09/06. It probably doesn’t bode well for a 21st delivery with any third party resellers who are supplied by TechData.

This is definitely a very odd Apple launch with the lack of clarity on a specific date. Very unlike Apple, and I hope this isn’t a sign of launches to come.

Thanks for this. Very strange but it worked!

EduStore made stock available for pre-order today and their website seems to be saying 'usually dispatched within 6 days' so perhaps a 21st May release is possible?

Never heard of them before? Are they a reputable company?

Apple is now showing delivery dates up to July ?. I’m going to wait for John Lewis I think as they’ve been good in the past

Mine did say that but has changed to 27th? Can't understand it. I ordered within first couple of minutes of the orders going live. Hopefully it'll change this week and I'll get it for Friday.
That's how they always do it - in the UK at least. I ordered an M1 MBP back in November. Email said "dispatches: 1-2 weeks" and "delivery: 26 Nov - 3 Dec". Apple store app said: "arrives 3 Dec". I ended up getting it on 24 November. So even earlier than their earliest estimate. I expect those of us who had ordered within the first 10-15 minutes to receive their iPad on Friday 21 May.

I had a nightmare yesterday afternoon, Apple tried to debit my CC and in the same time my bank sent me a text to be sure it was not a fraud ..... so the transaction didn't work and then hubby tried to use a number of cards nothing worked ... finally in the end with the help of Apple it worked ...... but still 27 May !!! (and I ordered it straight away)

Found this thread very helpful. My 12.9 512GB is still showing as processing but my credit card has been charged. Fingers crossed for the 21st!

Mine changed today to "Preparing to Ship" I also checked my bank and I've been charged.

I successfully placed my order at 13:03 when the pre-order went live at 13:00.
