Was in market to purchase the iPad Pro 11” model and it seems as it’s sold out everywhere! Apple won’t ship until mid August, anyone else having the same problem finding one?

I see there's a few at various New England Apple stores available for pick up, but it's the higher end (and sometimes cellular) configs. It helps to switch the colors to find better availability. BHPhoto is saying 7-14 days to be in stock again for many 2020 11" configs, but has lots of 2018 11s in stock.

Amazon has a 12.9 256GB wi-fi silver in stock for $1129.
Target has an 11 128GB wi-fi silver in stock for $899.
Adorama has some 2018 11s in stock.
Best Buy has some 2018 11s in stock, and a 2020 11 but for in-store pickup in MA (only checking New England).

In addition to what Namra posted, take a look at B&H Video as well. As they usually have good deals.

I got my new iPad Pro 11 cellular (2020) off Amazon on June 26 and it was delivered 2 days later.
 
And with the pretty wide availability of 2018 iPad Pros, you really can't go wrong with those either. The Magic Keyboard fits the 2018 iPPs too. I'm keeping my eye on the US refurb store (as always), but as of 4:30p ET it's pretty wiped out of iPads. Maybe later ...

There are Apple Pencil 1 ($85) and 2 ($109) in the refurb store though if anyone is looking for a little discount: https://www.apple.com/shop/refurbished/ipad/ipad-accessories

I just watched the Apple Store near me and eventually a SB 11 256 WIFI showed up. If you're near a store they do get shipments. Took a week of checking the Apple website for availability.

Near South Bend Indiana. Close to all the Chicago area Apple Stores and the Michigan ones. Luckily I found mine at the South Bend Apple Store (Mishawaka).
 
For the most part, anything made in SE Asia is heavily constrained for availability right now. Demand skyrocketed due to work from home requirements at the same time production capacity plummeted. That's why it is hard to find items such as webcams, microphones, monitors, printers, game consoles, etc. anywhere. On the Windows side of things, this COVID-19 situation hit just as the manufacturers were about to release their new models, so they had neither old inventory to sell nor enough of the new models to meet the increased demand. Sadly, this is also affecting Apple's supply chain as well.

Yeah I'm in southern California and started looking around online today and all the Apple Stores are sold out, Wal-Marts, Best Buys, Targets, Micro Center, etc., all seem wiped out as well (or only one or two configurations). Amazon has a decent amount though.

You can’t get Lysol Wipes from Amazon but, thank God you can get an iPad Pro in 2 days. Prime membership comes in real handy during times like this.
 
I got mine maybe four weeks ago in SoCal - I kept getting pickup dates 10-14 days in advance then for one brief window I could get one next day & did.
 
Agreed, every time a global pandemic pops up I thank my lucky stars I have Amazon prime.

The amount of postage I’ve saved using amazon prime these past couple of months has probably paid for the membership alone already.

Amazon has made this whole lockdown experience far more pleasant. 😂
