I read that thread a while back, and that's some pretty rough treatment if only after 6 months. I've had mine for 4 months now and another two months isn't going to suddenly produce what's shown on that thread. I have no doubt those are real photos, and if I recall, no skins were used, but you have to wonder ... My general rule is no tech device goes in a backpack.
I’m getting scared. Hopefully mine doesn’t get damaged.

I'm willing to bet the wear and tear on the photos in that thread was much greater than the way you're treating yours. I felt that thread was a bit on the dramatic side ... of course, that's a rare thing on the internet, isn't it?
Yeah, I‘m pretty sure I don’t throw my Magic Keyboard into a backpack without first putting it in a Soft Microfiber Sleeve, lol.

It will arrive whenever Apple says. That’s what happened to everyone else on the Thread. Don’t worry!
It’s not that I’m worried, it’s that it’s a work purchase and I only get reimbursed when it arrives (and that process takes a good two weeks). And because Apple sent the order piecemeal, I have to float the charge on my credit card for longer than I’d like.

?? “Sooner than you think” would probably have been weeks ago for her lol I’m sure we all hoped it would arrive at least a little earlier than they said. Btw, in the jealous boat too lol
My “Sooner than you think” starts post shipping :). My Apple Watch shipped from China on a Thursday and it was delivered to me the following Tuesday! I expected it to take a week at least.

Just a casual Costco trip, bought an Apple Pencil along with one of those Big TV’s they have at the Entrance, lol.
Hey, I was wondering.. I think I remember you said your iPad was 7 days from printing if the label to delivery in the south US.. did you have express shipping that was automatically added to your order? I live in Texas, but express shipping was auto added to mine, so I’m wondering if it is truly express or will it take 7 days as well

I had standard Shipping. Back in Early July Express wasn’t an option.

I've seen that Express Shipping as the only option too on a couple of items and wondered what if it meant no ground shipping, only air, which is a great thing when you've been waiting so long. Was the usual $8 added for Express? Or maybe it's just a courtesy/free shipping upgrade?

Everytime I see a email from MacRumors Forums in my Inbox, I proceed to delete the email and head over to this thread. I then get confused as to why nothing has happened here. I then realize that it’s from another thread. lol. it’s been a long day.

Why apple is taking so much time to deliver a replacement of ipad pro. Mine estimated replacement date is 3-4 week , same as purchasing a new device.
But when i placed a replacement order they told me it will be delivered in 10 days. But in order page its showing 3-4 weeks.
I contacted Apple they just refused t9 that commitment amd now they are saying the esrimated date is 3-4weeks only .

I closed email notifications on this thread I just casually come here and check what is going on. It’s more than a habit now I don’t need any red bubble to make me come here ??
