For some reason, both Best Buy and Apple don't have the 26th as an option for pick up. Apple says delivers Oct 28 - Nov 1?

Best Buy I think, says ships by the 26th or something like that.

What are you doing?

And PLEASE no: "I'm not buying one of these lame things" posts, thanks :D

You can order for in-store pickup at Apple Store at like 4 AM on the 26th.

That’s what I did last year with the M1 iPad Pro since the online ordering was showing weeks delayed.

Right, I figured that, but this time it seems unnecessary for them to do this. It's inconvenient. There was availability at all stores over the weekend, then they stopped it?

It's not big deal, just was wondering what the options are.

Ordered mine through Best Buy. Utilized their 24 month financing option, bc why not? Next Ipad isn’t going to be out until around the time I’m done paying it off, so just in time to pick up the new M3 edition. Ordered a white folio as well on the apple sight 👏

Can’t understand why they wouldn’t launch the new iPad in Midnight( the colour )
I would have possibly pulled the trigger on it if so, another ridiculous decision by Apple which will cost them hundreds of millions even though the new iPad is anticipated to be the worst selling iPad possibly of all time if reviews are to be trusted saying it’s a massive downgrade from previous models

Aren't the iPad Pro's released every year? 🧐

May seem unnecessary but they do this with iphones to. Pre-order starts on a Friday, the in-store availability will show and remain active till following Tuestay or Wednesday then they turn off that feature in preparations for the imminent launch on Friday. Come Friday, apple turns back on the in store availability.

So tomorrow, it will be back on.

Here's a photo that shows the days between releases of the 12’9 Ipads. It gives you a rough idea on when we can expect the next Ipad Pro! Cheers!

I got a UPS next day tracking from Verizon early Tue morning, but it hasn't been picked up yet.
