Mine made it to Inchon, Korea last night. Apple says 6 Aug, ups says 5 Aug. I believe UPS.
Cool! Everytime that the UPS Tracking says "Departure Scan", line it up with one of the Flights on this Website. It's really Cool!

I'm gonna try it out when my iPad Departs China for Korea.

For my IPP Apple says it will Arrive August 10th and UPS says it will Arrive August 7. Hopefully UPS is right.
It is still in EPZ, China.
Nice! Apple and UPS say the same thing for me — Aug 6. Honestly, I would imagine UPS is more accurate. Mine is in Hong Kong right now, but no movement for over 24 hours.

Hopefully mine comes August 7 and not August 10! I have to start using it on August 12, and because my existing IPP is in the Repair Shop it's been Wiped. So I have to set everything up on both IPP's. Ugh. It will probably only take a day.

Mine has been in Hong Kong since 7/29/20 1:13AM...

7/4/20 Ordered 12.9 256gb wifi only
7/27/20 Shipped and departed from EPZ

I believe it goes next to Taiwan then flies out? I hope it doesn't have to sit again in Taiwan...

I think it would go from Hong Kong, to Korea, then to Anchorage. From there it would go to UPS's Worldwide Center in Kentucky. If you live in the US, it would then be delivered to you. If you live somewhere else, It would Jump on another flight.

Here's something that will make us feel better about our iPad Pros taking so long:
Imagine buying an iMac. Oh geez, I would die of the wait.

still processing, sigh.

it's weird though, ever since I placed the order for the ipad pro, I've been using my Air 1 a TON more than usual.

It's still an amazing piece of kit, it really is. Battery life is still incredible. Speed still OK for loading apps etc, but it really does lag badly on the keyboard. I do wish the sound was better (IPP 4 speakers, drooool).

I'm currently using it as a second screen during my day job working from home, and in the evening as a youtube / general browsing machine. I've taken it out of its case and have been using it naked for a few weeks. It makes a HUGE difference - much lighter, much nicer to hold, so much thinner. It's a pity that is never going to be an option with the IPP if I want to keep it from bending :D

Anyway, that took a few minutes to type, so let's refresh the order again ....


Processing....
Wait, do they really bend ? I thought that was just rumor!

No, they bend. The Magic Keyboard will stop it bending. I tried to bend it, and it didn't budge. It's harder to bend than my iPad Gen 2 from 2011. The iPad is easy to bend though. As long as you keep it in the MK most of the time, it wont bend.

I have a folio, I didn’t get the MK....I always keep it in the case though. I have the 10.5 IPP and it’s never been out the case. Hopefully it will be good....just ready for it to get here!

Oooh, the folio isn't anywhere at all as Strong as the MK. Exercise Caution while using your Shiny new IPP, this video will help you be careful.

My boyfriend ordered a custom built computer the day after I ordered my iPad. His delivery was estimated to be 6 weeks, which made me feel better about my 4 week wait.

In a twisted turn of events, his computer is out for delivery today. While I’m happy for him, my iPad is still in China. Excuse me while I mope around for the next week. 🙃

My IPP "Departed Facility" 12 Hours ago in "EPZ, China". It is Currently "In Transit" in "EPZ, China". Anyone else had theirs move on from this and if so how long did it take?
I'm wondering if @iThink Apple 's IPP has moved on from China.

Mine moved on from EPZ to Hong Kong after about 24-36 hours and it’s been still for about the same time. I’m hoping UPS tracking is just a little behind on updating internationally.
