I wish you luck in this Situation. Sometimes tracking numbers take a while to be put into the UPS System. It took 1 night for the Link On Apple’s Website For my IPP to work.
I figured it would probably be there today, since it was only going from San Antonio to Ft. Worth. I dropped it off well before Fedex pickup time.

YOU‘RE SCARING ME STOP IT AAAHHHH

Jokes aside, there is not a single thing wrong with my iPad at all. Screen is perfect, Cameras are wonderful, Face ID is WAAAY faster than my old IPP’s Touch ID, and I just love it. The trackpad is a Tad Small for Big Gestures, so I have my Magic Trackpad 2 in Space Gray to match my IPP. Speakers are Great, but if they are important to you get the bigger one. Here is a Timeline for those of you who want to see when their IPP will Arrive.

iPad Pro 11” 2020 256GB Space Gray WiFi Only.

Ordered: July 6; Estimated Delivery Date of August 5-12.

Card Charged: July 25

Preparing To Ship: July 30

Shipped: July 31

July 31 to August 1: EPZ, China.

August 1 to August 3: ZhengZhou, China.

August 3-5: Incheon, South Korea.

August 5: Anchorage, Alaska.

August 6: Cleared Customs in Louisville, Kentucky

August 7: Delivered in Dallas, Texas.

That's reassuring. The ones I returned were all from Best Buy which must've gotten a bad batch. Figured ordering directly from Apple would be the way to go, and that getting it engraved as an extra step at the factory would hopefully enable more eyes to make sure it is indeed in pristine condition before being boxed up and shipped out.

If nothing changes tomorrow, I guess I will be spending the day on the phone with Apple to see if they have any additional information. 😳😡
And keep in mind once your device gets sent to Phobio, there isn't much Apple can do. Phobio is a third-party trade-in "partner".

I just got charged and order now says preparing for shipping with delivery still at August 25-September 1? I assume it will arrive way earlier now?
Did your order include engraving? That's one reason people are charged much earlier than the estimated ship date.

So it is True, the iPad Pro is not a Fairy Tale. Or a Myth. It is in Fact Real. Written on my iPad Pro 11” 256GB Engraved with the Apple Pencil attached, on the Magic Keyboard.

It’s worth the Wait. Definitely. I’ll stay on this Forum so that when other people hear the UPS Driver at the Door, they don‘t fall off their chair and fall down the stairs towards the door. True story.

Edit: It also shipped with 100% Battery. Very Nice.

Most likely, but it depends where you're located.

Also, when did you order? I ordered mine on July 22 with a delivery window of August 24-31 and it's still processing (likely due to the fact I got it engraved).

Yes, I realize that, I just think that maybe Apple may have access to information that I don’t have. I’m hoping it won’t come to that though.

Yeah, it really looks like shipping times for the 12.9s are improving. Mine is an 11-inch which seem to take a bit longer, not even factoring in the engraving.
The 12.9” Takes about 20 Days to move to “Preparing To Ship”. The 11” takes about 25 Days to move to “Preparing to Ship”. Engraving seems to add an extra 2-4 days.

On another topic: I don’t really notice the 120Hz Refresh Rate on these new iPad Pros.

Think the times are significantly less now. In @RealSkyDiver's case, it would've only been 14 days for the 12.9.

Which iPad did you have prior to this? Cause I’m upgrading from the very first iPad Pro from 2015, and I decided not to trade it in cause it works perfectly and I really want to do a side by side comparison between the two!

What was your order date and configuration? For those of us who’ve been here since early to mid-July, it has taken a month or so from order date to delivery. I’m still waiting for mine. I ordered July 10th, alleged delivery date of August 11th. 😡

Day 16 here and still processing. You'll likely have to wait quite a bit longer. :(
