My XS Max has been preparing update for over an hour! It keeps fluctuating between 45 minutes to 5 hours remaining. The IPP updated in about 10 minutes. 🤬 You’re right! Flashbacks of waiting for our iPad Pros to ship, lol.
Got a tip for us?

I have to say, I just updated and the Autocorrect is already better, and it looks 10 times better. I don’t know why some of my Widgets are smaller, probably just a bug.
I did a hard reboot of the phone and went back to the update screen, and now it went to 1 minute remaining!
Well, I spoke too soon. It finally went from downloading the update to “Preparing Update”, and it’s been there for over 20 minutes...🤬
Mine did that for about 30 minutes. Don’t worry!

I have the Superior Wallpaper. Also, YOU USE CHROME??? NOT SAFARI???
Shame. You don’t get Desktop Versions of Sites, and fast Browsing. You can get Desktop docs, youtube, etc.
I’m just used to Chrome, as I use it on my Windows work machine all the time lol. Although any links I click on pop open in Safari and never bothered to change that setting.
Chrome makes alot of sense to use when you are required to use a windows pc for work/school etc which is why I use it as well.
I agree, Chrome is great. But the iPad Version sucks. I think they want you to buy a Chromebook instead 😂
For Phones, windows, MacOS, etc. It’s great. I use it on my Windows Laptop, but ever since this iPad came I’ve been using it less and less.
Has anybody found that some of their apps on iPadOS 14 not working due to the devs not having enough notice? I am really hesitant to update my phone and iPad because some developers have even said to wait to update and whatnot. I know this probably isn't the right place to ask...but i know were all ipad users here (for those who have received their IPP's at least)
I've used chrome for as long as I can remember tbh. I mean I use a lot of google apps so it's nice imo. Plus I can access my saved site from any device if I'm logged in. IDK it's just nice, personally.
So, I’ve applied the white marble dbrand frame skin on my iPad. Pretty easy to install and I like the way it turned out overall (I’ve attached some photos). Yes, I have a cellular iPad so the SIM slot is now covered up, but I don’t ever plan on using a physical SIM anyways and now I don’t have to worry about the Pencil potentially making marks on the side of my iPad when connected (see https://forums.macrumors.com/threads/apple-pencil-2-scratchgate-on-side-ipad-pro-2018.2173251/).
One thing I noticed during the installation was the cutouts on the top frame piece weren’t 100% precise, but more like 97% or 98%. I followed their YouTube video where they instruct you to align the middle portion first, which would be the cutouts for the two top mics. After doing that I found I had to stretch out both ends of the skin by a fraction of a mm (yes, it’s stretchable!) to make the speaker holes align better. This wasn’t an issue for the left side as there weren’t any other cutouts to worry about.
However, for the right side, I had to make sure the buttons still fell into place, and I realized there was just a tad too much space between the cutouts for the right speaker grills and power button. Therefore, in an effort to align the speaker grills as best as possible, I had to stretch the right side to the point where the cutouts for the volume buttons almost didn’t align anymore. This resulted in the upper right frame piece having to be shifted down just a tad close to the Pencil connector, as you can see in the photo I have for it. There may have been a small error on my part somewhere in the process overall, but I’m by no means fussed about it, as I think I did quite well for a first time skin applier and I’m very satisfied with the outcome. Looking forward to rocking this look for years to come.

Hey Guys new to the thread, but just wondering are the delays happening on all the Pro models? (Are some worse than others?)
Wondering If I should buy one now or keep trying my luck on ebay for an older model.

Honestly I have seen delays on all models. When I went to purchase I checked all the combinations to see what should ship the quickest because I need it for school and my current ipad is having issues with the screen

Same situation, which did you see was the quickest, if you don't mind me asking?
Sadly the App Library is only a thing on iOS, not iPadOS. Hey, the Spotlight Search makes up for it.

All the Models ship in the Same Time Period.
Oh, okay. I didn't know that. I wonder why it isn't on iPadOS too...
Now I'm curious if its on the iPod Touch! 😅
Probably. Lol. Sadly my Old iPod Touch only Supported iOS 9.3.5. Good old days.
I think one with a lot of contrast would look good with a darker colour like Space Grey. So maybe the Red Carbon if you like yours to stand out. I’d be intrigued by the Red Dragon too as a frame skin for it.
Well, seeing your pictures did it! I just ordered the dBrand skin in Red Carbon Fiber. I can’t wait to get it! This is all your fault. 🤣So, I’ve applied the white marble dbrand frame skin on my iPad.

Now you get to agonize once again! 😁
If I remember correctly, the order statuses go as follows and should arrive in a week or so (they ship from Toronto, Canada):
Pending (aka Order Placed!) ==> Processing ==> Processed (aka Preparing to Ship!) ==> Shipped ==> Delivered
It’ll all be worth it in the end.
