Still no movement here.
This is Weird. The UK actually has faster shipping than the US, weird that you haven't gotten any of your stuff yet. Especially the Apple Pencil, that's in stock. The Magic Keyboard isn't, so that may be why it's taking so long. Luckily my didn't take long to ship from China, Ordered the MK and got it in 11 days on the 17th. It was manufactured on the 14th. The Apple Pencil should be in stock in Local Warehouses.

It's not showing the pencil in stock for delivery though? It's a 3 week wait.
It didn't show the Pencil in stock for me, either. It showed a 2 Week Wait. Weirdly, instead of coming In 2 Weeks it came in about 2 days. That was exceptionally confusing.

Weirdly enough, UK's iPad Pros Ship about 10 days earlier than they would if i Ordered the same thing off of America's website.

Do you think the keyboard and pencil are going to ship from China?
I have a feeling they'll ship from a UK warehouse because the pencil at least is saying postal not express delivery

The MK Probably will Ship from China, Mine did. The Pencil will probably be in A warehouse somewhere. Or maybe not. Who knows. Apple's Logistics are so unpredictable lol

Yeah, my pencil still hasn’t shipped either. Definitely coming from China. Set to deliver August 6-13. I’m expecting it to ship sometime this week, but your shipping estimates are making me nervous. I hope the process isn’t being slowed more than it already is. That’ll make me abandon the Apple ship and seek an iPad elsewhere.

What is with all these reports of new IPad Pro’s in sept/Oct.
The rumourmongers seem to be going into overdrive and thinking everything is going to be renewed

new iPads, phones, watches, macs, home pods, etc

seems a bit far fetched in light of recent issues, but on the IPads, you begin to question should you cancel your orders in case a new one is out the month after?

Apple Follows a 2-Year Cycle with their iPad Pros:

First 2 Years 2016-2017:
Breakthrough 2016: Announces new iPad Pro 9.7" With new Camera, Display, and Form Factor with A9X Processor.
Small Update 2017: New 10.5" Screen size, small Processor Update to A10X, Slightly better Display and Cameras.
Next 2 Models 2018-2020:
Breakthrough Update 2018: New Screen size (11"), New Form Factor, waaay better Processor (A12X), Better Cameras, Face ID, Lots of other things that I forgot
Small Update 2020: Basically the same thing, slightly better Processor (A12z), add another camera and a LIDAR Sensor, and that's it.

I think that Apple will introduce a new Model next year, based on what they've done in the past. Or, you know. Be Apple and release another one this year and be like "Ha!" in our poor Faces that got the First iPad Pro in 2020. Still keeping my order though. I need a new iPad, my poor 9.7" Pro gets hot Running something like YouTube. And my 9.7" Pro is literally at the Repair Shop because it's Screen just stopped working.
If I were you I'd keep my Order, this iPad that we ordered is a Polished version of 2018's. I'd rather have something Polished than some new technology that hasn't been Proved Reliable yet. If I could, I would get a New 10.5" Pro, basically the 2018 IPP but with a Home Button, a Headphone Jack, and the iPhone 7 Cameras. AND it has ProMotion, so yay. But still keeping my Order for the New Pro, as I can't find a Brand New IPP 10.5" and it's Smart Keyboard and Silicone Case.

Yeah, I agree. It is very strange all these reports. The supply chains have being strangled with COVID. Shops have being closed, I presume even Apple HQ had some knock on effects, but the rumour people are telling us that are Apple are going to renew every single product next month (in a time of massive unemployment and upheaval)
Almost every time there is rumours in new products their is usually disappointment. Didn’t they say they was going to show a 13" arm MacBook last month?

I get aggravated by some of the (personally) the BS

I live in New Zealand and Just bought an Ipad Pro 11'' 2020 wifi only, on 23rd July and the expected delivery is 25th August to 7th September!!!! It is still processing on the status of my order and I am pretty upset as all the retail shops around are out of stock nation wide so that is why I chose to order from apple straight. Now have to wait a bloody long time to finally get it - at that rate I would have forgotten I purchased it in the first place lol. Will update if there are any changes.
