What's everyone's take on this? I know there are those who prefer a slower charge while there are others who prefer a super fast charge. I figure this is an interesting side topic to help pass the time while we wait.
I feel like you should make your Own Thread, so that you can Reach More people who may be able to Help You.
 
Nah, It's just more idle chat then a serious concern worth all the hassle.
There's definitely members out there who know more about this topic than us regulars here. It's a cinch to create a new thread. You'd be surprised at some of the responses you'll get.

Guys, I don't want to make you sad (or maybe it's just me who's unlucky ...), but my window is from September 18th to 25th, we are at the end of the working day of September 21 (I am in Europe), and it is still processing...

At this point in my life, I feel like I paid Apple 1000 euros to finally see my name appear near an iPad more than to receive one.

Oh no... Don’t said that... I still have hope even if it’s a little one :(

Keep the faith! It could all move quickly within a couple of hours.

Yeah, everyone Else’s iPad was moving to “Preparing To Ship”, except mine. Even people who Ordered After me got Signs of Movement. I was so close to giving up, and getting one from my Local Best Buy. It even had a Discount for the 512gb! But, I waited just one more day and BOOM. The Magical Words:

Preparing.
To.
Ship.

I dream about that message. I live for that message.Let’s not give up. KEEP THE FAITH!😂🙏🏼
 
I love this ipad other than the fact that it doesn’t have a headphone jack

this means that my 1st gen AirPods are the only headphones I can use with this lol

so my Beats headphones are useless lol

apart from my phone, which is a 6s and STILL HAS A HEADPHONE JACK (Ha!)

Well I haven’t placed my order online. With long delivery dates (going into the end of October possibly early November) I visited my local Apple store (I say local it’s around 20 miles or more miles away) they didn’t have any in stock, in fact the guy I spoke with told me that what stock they do get allocated often sells out very quick. luckily I didn’t make the trip especially as I was meeting with a friend anyway.

At this point I think I’m just going to hold out with my 2017 iPad Pro and see what happens. If I can get my hands on one I will but if not I’ll wait. There is rumoured to be an updated version with Mini-LED releasing early next year.
I really don't know what to think. Since the end of July, when I started looking at it, the estimated shipping was (and still is) after three to four weeks for my area. So, in the beginning of August I ordered an iPad Pro 11" through work. I was notified last week that my order has been cancelled because there is no stock available until mid-October. Is it possible that they have productions issues?

I mean, I don’t know. Probably. Maybe. Definitely.

But my New iPad Pro is Fine. I don’t care if they release a new one Next Year, I’ll know that my iPad Model was one of the most Sought After, so much that the Delivery Dates were pushed so far back, lol 🤣

You are lucky; glad to hear that.

An order for iPad mini ships the next day, the new iPad is scheduled for 1-6 October, basically in two weeks from now. I don't understand what's wrong with the Pro model so long after its release.

I think it’s highly likely that they do have production issues. COVID has caused a number of issues for a number of companies. Unless I can pick one up, I will be waiting until the new one comes out (probably be next year now).

It seems strange nonetheless. As I said previously, other models (like the mini or even the new iPad) are either readily or with a reasonable delay available. The mini in particular is available for next day shipping. Where is covid in this case? I don't see why only the Pro model is affected. Really strange.

Unless I can pick one up, I will be waiting until the new one comes out (probably be next year now).
It is not my money used in the purchase but my employer's money. It has to be used before December.
