Past 2 years UPS has been dropping off Apple devices without signature but YMMV depending on where you live.
I live behind a secured gate community and none of the carriers have ever needed a signature; except for alcohol orders....
Yes UPS shows an import scan at 11:14AM on 3/17 so it has cleared customs. Mine still shows a delivery date for Monday, but AFAIK UPS worldwide should be able to deliver tomorrow assuming it’s on a flight to my regional hub tonight.
I’ve heard some say UPS has been conservative in their estimates during the pandemic so hopefully it’ll get updated.
But if you want 5k, then what choices are there? There's this, or an LG 5k 27". That's about it. Basicaly the quality of a 27" imac monitor witha fuzzy camera problem. But that's what I expceted for now, so I'll get one till they get a more pro version that's not $4-5k.The display is not getting good reviews.
Apple Studio Display Reviews: 'A Confounding Miss'
First impressions of the Apple Studio Display have now been shared by select media outlets and YouTubers, providing a closer look at Apple's...www.macrumors.com
By the way last scan was:
| 03/17/2022 12:20 A.M. | On the Way Arrived at Facility Louisville, KY, United States |
Apple did acknowledge the camera issue and said that it will be addressed in a software update.
Back in 2020, it was no signature required but the driver had to see someone open the door and take the package. The procedure might have changed since then.
Mine (Max 10/32 32GB 1TB BTO) has now left China courtesy of DHL, depending on where i look, date of delivery is currently anywhere between 21st March and 5th April
I bought the Apple keyboard with Touch ID. It arrived a couple of days ago and the driver required a signature, even though I authorized a release.
I can now see that the package I was tracking, which I thought to be the display, is actually the Mac Studio. (I was confused by the weight, which is 6.2 kg, while the machine itself weighs only 2.6 kg. That’s a lot of packing material.)
It’s still scheduled for delivery Monday. It got out of Shenzhen just before the lockdown, so I wasn’t affected at all.
Apple tells me that the Studio Display has also shipped and is scheduled for delivery tomorrow, but the tracking number they provided doesn’t show in the UPS system yet. It’s shipping by Next Day Air, apparently from a US warehouse in the US.

The UPS website says that a signature is required for my Studio Display. Oddly enough, it does not say that a signature is required for the much more expensive Mac Studio.
Got shipped text/email from Apple, etc. All signs point to Monday for me, though I suppose there's a small chance I'll get it tomorrow.
Today - Thursday March 17th - I received my shipping notice with tracking information. I can see on UPS that my computer was in Louisville at midnight. Still tells me to expect delivery on Monday the 21st.
I'm bummed that the reviews so far only talk about the Ultra... and yes I know the Max has been reviewed in the Macbook Pro but this is different. I will also say these reviews are making me rethink getting rid of my 2020 27 Imac... (a little).
Recently got an iPhone with UPS no-contact delivery. The delivery person said he only needs to record that he saw a person there to receive it.
The Verge tested both Max and Ultra for its review. Suggests that there is a barely perceptible performance differential!
depends what you are doing. the more complicated and intensive the task or multiple tasks, the more you will start seeing the difference. average use won't really see any difference.
As a fellow audio guy running on Apollo, I'm not even entirely sure I wouldn't be fine w/ base M1! Was planning on an M1 Pro desktop but I can't really keep holding out. I'm not really mad about getting a higher spec'd machine, though.
I think its a missed opportunity to push further, but when there is no competition at this resolution I imagine they've left something on the table for an update. I'm not really the audience for it, but when I moved to 1440p at home it made 1080 at work look awful. I'm up to 1440 at work, but I don't know if I'd see the same jump again. I suspect I'll upgrade in a few years when the OLED/mini LED/microLED/HDR stuff becomes more standardised. At the moment its all a bit of a mess.
I suspect you've nailed that. Multicore scaleability is still not very mature in a lot of workflows. I don't see much light up 16 cores. One advantage of the ultra is actually the thermal management; the ability to have work spatially separated means the heat is easier to dissipate. I'd love to see a variation of this fusion technology, I can't justify the cost of an ultra, but if there was a Max+moreCPUs option I'd be tempted.
