Australia
Just letting you know that the iPads are available for release day ordering and pickup today from Apple here in Australia. So should be the same in other countries (with May ordering).
It looks like all configurations are available.

Maybe some of you with longer delivery times can jump in. Good luck.

My pre-order has shipped and should arrive today.

What’s the point of pre-ordering for a month then ? damn I can just order today and pick up easily!

I feel like a fool for ordering on 30 April now.

Yeah my plan tomorrow morning is to try to order one for pickup and if I can get that one cancel my order that is scheduled for June 2-9. Kinda lame that I woke up at like 5 or 6 am to wrestle with Apple's dumb website the day preorders opened only to get a June delivery date yet somehow people can just scoop one of these in store on release day.

Fingers crossed.

You and me both brotha, I was set up. In fact Spectrum BS internet had an outage so I had to take my laptop, iPad and phone outside in the backyard to use my hotspot just to get the order in. Between the website crashing and me having to go through the whole trade in process with entering the SN of my old ipad I got a June 2-9th date. So first thing im going to do my best to get one tomorrow. Good luck to you!

I would NOT. We have no idea what kind of stock Apple will have for its stores here in the US tomorrow. No use of canceling a preorder just to find out you cant find any in the store.
I will say that when I checked the inventory for Australia earlier this evening they had the 1tb models in stock for every store near Melbourne, so I am feeling cautiously optimistic I might have a shot since I live in a big US metro.

By any chance do you know how long they stayed in stock for?
