For me, there was practically no delay for the Series 6. I ordered on launch day and UPS says that I will have it this coming Monday, so that is a total of six days from order to delivery. My IPP is at day 21 with absolutely no movement with realistically another 10 days to go. And that is for a product that has been out for six months!
You make a good point. With how long we've all been waiting for this premium product, Apple should throw us a bone for our patience and loyalty like a credit off our order total or a free smart folio or Apple Pencil or something. I can't help but wonder how many potential customers Apple is losing who are being turned off from such massive delays and stocking issues.

@DiamondarBoss I'd love to get your take on these ponderings I put out. You've been a rock for us during these turbulent times.
Yes, your math seems Accurate for the Charging One.

Also I think that the Magic Keyboard Firmware is Updated Independently to the iPadOS Updates. I think it happens Overnight when the Magic Keyboard is connected to the iPad and it’s charging.

Hey my friend, just have to ask why your posts always seem to be in title case. The odd word here and there is capitalized and I can't find a setting that controls that. Is auto capping doing something odd there?

Thank you for your responses and helping me recover a tiny fragment of my sanity.
I was thinking maybe it'd be worth it to get the 20w charger but I guess it wouldn't really matter.

After Apple messed up my order, I was able to pick it up in store today, jumped the line, placed order 2 days back and picked up today. The wait has finally ended 😊

I'm sorry if I'm disrupting the decorum of the thread. Just tired and frustrated by this whole situation. Maybe I'm crazy. I could easily drive an hour and pick one up at a Bestbuy which states it has two in stock but I guess I'm a glutton for punishment or I feel like I'd be disloyal to this thread? I dunno. 😕
This is the right thread to express all of your frustration, and it's perfectly fine and a great idea to go pick one up from BB.

I had horrible luck with the ones I got from Best Buy here in Canada in July with screen issues and quality issues out of the box, though it might just be because they got a bad batch. But who knows, maybe yours will turn out better if you decide to go that route lol. If you do, I would open it and check it to make sure it’s free of any defects before cancelling from Apple just to be safe.

Go for it! Do what is best for you. You can still hang out with those of us who have already received their Pros. We’re always here for moral support, and you can be, too! 😎
 
This is really impressive job. After that dent this seems so good. Nonetheless , it's so sad to see this happened :(
As I like to say,

“Every Dent and Scratch tells a Story.”

Until I get so Annoyed with the Dents and Scratches and then get my AppleCare+ Replacement.

I need these. Are these for Sale? I’d pay a thousand bucks for them.

Go for it! We are still here for you! In these circumstances to everything is fair to get iPad sooner. 😂I wish I had that opportunity but still waiting this endless processing status.😂

We don't have Apple Care here in Turkey. So every Apple product has to be taken really good care.😂 Every dent and scratch has its own story but that doesn't give me that courage to use anything without case or screen protector. Because I lose a part of my soul whenever I drop or scratch my precious Apple's.🤣

Same lol. I think the same half cm that got dented on my iPad took away that much from my Brain lol.
 
I’m not sure if this is the thread for just the US or if it’s for every country. I’m planning to place an order for the 2020 iPad Pro 12.9” with the Magic Keyboard and Apple Pencil. Are the dispatch estimates accurate or do Apple tend to overestimate them?

There definitely seems to be a backlog on these Pro iPads. They must be selling well, which is great news for Apple and those with Apple stock ;)

I thought I could wait until the next iPad Pro (likely to be next year) but my 2017 iPad Pro battery isn’t as good as it once was. So I’m going to bite the bullet, order the new one and pass my current 2017 iPad Pro down to my mother, who won’t take full advantage of it but the battery life will be better than her current Air 2.

You can always say “I think it adds character!”. 😉

You’ll always remember where you were and what you were doing when it happened, like any other important moment in history, lol.
 
I'm still kinda having low key second thoughts on whether I should just get the 12.9 inch model or not. I mean I already have the magic keyboard and smart folio for the 11 inch so it'd be a hassle to return it, and I've already waited 18 days and it should be arriving between the 24th and the 1st so what's a few more days of torture. I had been waiting to get the iPad Pro since they announced them in 2018 and I had decided back then on the 11 inch as I felt it'd be lighter and easier to travel with as opposed to a giant slab I always thought the 12.9 inch model to be compared to the 7.9 inch mini 4 I've been using as my primary non-phone communication device for three years, however after playing with both models at BestBuy it threw me into this quandary as the 11 inch just seems like it's only slightly bigger then the 7.9 inch mini, and a YouTube reviewer who first said the 11 inch model was the way to go now has gone back and stated he was wrong and is now touting how the 12.9 inch isn't as heavy as he was expecting with his job in a hospital and how much he prefers it for doing things. He then goes into the psychology of the screen sizes and how the Pro is used with creation and productivity verses consumption and that the size of the screen might affect it. o_O

It’s a global shipping thread here. Welcome to the party! Now get ready to agonize for the next month or so and we’ll keep you company and make sure you don’t lose your sanity. 😁

If I do go that route you better believe I'll give it a good thrice over. Apple should hire me for quality control as I don't let anything slip through the cracks... On second thought maybe they shouldn't as with my OCD nothing might ever make it out of the factory. 😂

There's another topic for EU but we keep this one up to date for everyone I think.So welcome to the waiting club haha! I can say that Apple's ETA is kind of accurate. We are the ones who are in 20ish days right now. It stay about 24-25 day until it ships. But of course there could be differences. Anyways we are here for you to keep you busy. Otherwise you can lose your mind through out this action! 😂

Me in a nutshell. Even though I have AppleCare+ for my iPhone 11 Pro I take better care of it then I do anything else I own, even myself. I'd rest my iPhone on a satin pillow if I wasn't afraid it'd overheat while charging. I live in a constant state of anxiety whenever there is a cat and an Apple product with a screen in the same room as I'm afraid they're gonna jump up on it when they climb and inadvertently scratch the screen with their claws or knock it onto the floor. I can only imagine how I'm gonna be with the Pro. 🤣 Let's just say I'm glad AppleCare+ covers both the iPad and the Magic Keyboard.
