iPad Pro iPad Pro - Shipping Thread

I couldn’t wait another 3+ weeks. Turns out my local Apple store had just what I needed. Did a pick up order, in and out in less than 10 mins. Looking forward to opening these up after the countless iPad 2020 unboxing videos.

My very specific timeline:
Kicked around ordering one: March-July 26th.
Ordered July 26th
Found this website: August 3rd
Processed through: August 14th. (20 days from ordering)
Learned about flightaware.com - August 15th
Began tracking religiously: August 18th
Left Hong Kong: August 21st.
Made it to Anchorage: August 21st
Made it to Louisville: August 22nd
Checked Flightaware 3,000 times only to learn UPS doesn't fly out of Kentucky again until Tuesday: August 22-23rd
Boring professional development by my principal: August 25th-26th
Expected delivery date: August 26th after work.
Original Delivery window: August 26th-September 2nd

I will say once this wait ends on the 26th I will miss all of you. @janekenstein and @MaxGolden12 are both on my Christmas card list now, and I haven't sent out Christmas cards in 10 years. I imagine we'll all meet back here once a year to reminisce, catch up, and show wallet photos of our iPad babies growing up and doing amazing things.

I'll likely stick around here even after I get my iPad like many others have. If it wasn't for this forum and thread, there's no way I would've gotten through the last 5 weeks since I placed my order. 😂

Yay! Be sure to get a case other than the Magic Keyboard. This case works with the Magic Keyboard and provides the Side Protection that the Magic Keyboard doesn’t provide. Ordered mine on Friday it’s coming this Wednesday.

Thanks. What screen protector did you get? The one I ordered was a complete bust. It arrived super dusty with no film covering on the screen protector. A complete waste.

I haven’t got one, I have AppleCare+ so if something were to happen to the screen (Cracks) I’d use one of my claims. I would recommend the Zagg Glass Screen protectors, had one for my old iPP.

Hahaha, I'm probably going to stick around after mine arrives! This thread has helped me through a lot of worried nights and anxious days. We are the IPP class of 2020 after all.

It looks like mine is on a road trip! I'm only the tiniest bit disappointed that I won't get to stalk FlightAware.View attachment 947070

don't feel bad on missing out on Flight Aware. It's now showing tons of commercial flights but no shipping flights on the radar. I'm thinking even it if makes it to Detroit tomorrow delivery by Wednesday is a no go :-(. At least here you know for certain it can really only go a maximum of 45 more states before reaching you. 😂😂😂 (Okay 47 but why would they backtrack to Hawaii or Alaska NOW?)
