Hey everyone,
So I ordered an iPad pro on July 23 and my estimated delivery date is September 4. Lately, I have been observing that there have been iPad pros with the same configuration popping up in stores near me where they were previously out of stock. Yesterday, I called a few of these stores to check if they had it in stock and they simply told me that for the iPad pros specifically, apple will be doing online orders/shipping only. Today, I checked these stores for store pickup and two of them had the iPad available. However, it seemed like there was an extremely short supply like 1 or 2 because as soon as I put one of them in the cart it was not available for store pickup on my other computer (the same happened for the other store). Could these be iPad pros be the ones someone returned and the stores (obviously after inspections and all) are selling them as new given that delivery time for people is 3-4 weeks, supply seems to be extremely short and apple stores saying that Apple is doing online/delivery only for ipads?
