So I ordered 2 Ipad Pros of the 2022 version.. One 11 inch and One 12.9 inch on 10/18... They always have and still say set for delivery tomorrow, release day, 10/26. I have yet to be charged, they are still in processing.... Are they not going to come tomorrow? I cant remember it being this close in the past with any apple product and not having had shipped yet.
Got a tip for us?

Mine was shipped this morning by UPS Next Day Air Saver and should arrive tomorrow. I bought from Apple on the 18th. As long as it ships today it should arrive tomorrow.
Going to middle TN... one of the main hub for Apple is nearby, But ive never had it this late before.
Yeah, mine's coming from CA as well. I was curious since my phone and watch were out of TN.
My 10th gen ipad shipped today. Decided a couple days ago that it's getting returned though.
Am gonna stick with the 5th gen for another year. Was going to upgrade to continue the usb c transition in my household but realized that wasn’t a good enough reason to upgrade. The battery on the 5th gen is getting bad but it can last another year.
Just logged in and looked..... launch day preorder.... charged last night... and now just this morning the order goes to a November 1 to 3 delivery. Once again... Apple bites us... what the heck apple?
You coming from the 5th generation and the 10th generation still not good enough to upgrade? My goodness... what exactly are you looking for?
Perhaps, you rather wait for a discounted price... but the logic that its not good enough to upgrade from a 5th generation iPad doesn't make much sense to me.
Supposed to get my 12.9 pro today or tomorrow. Not expecting it until Friday with the way the delivery services are in my area though.
Lol, i didn't ask who is it for... I asked what exactly are you looking for? A reasonable price seems to be the reason you rather wait than it's not good enough to upgrade.
Their current device still works fine for their intended purpose. To me, that seems a good enough reason not to upgrade.
When it stops working properly is the time to replace it.
Understandable. They mention usb-c transition being the reason to upgrade... but later realized that wasn't a good enough reason to upgrade.
I prefer to be proactive... I wouldn't wait until it no longer works properly, I'd wait for a good deal to come around to replace it. Because $450 seems too high... when it's smart to jump on board when the price tag is discounted.
Sometimes, I feel it’s better to wait if you’re still able to than to make do with whatever’s available.
When my iPhone 7 was starting to get finicky, I opted to wait for the SE2 instead of settling for the (still overpriced) iPhone 8.
When I was starting to get frustrated with my 2017 12.9’s performance, I also opted to wait instead of settling for the 2020 iPP (which was basically the same as the 2018 iPP).
I’m very content with both those decisions. With the iPhone, I saved quite a bit (~$300) and got a better device to boot. With the iPad, I did spend more but I expect M1+16GB RAM will have longer useful life than A12X/Z+6GB RAM.
Maybe when the OP upgrades, he can get a cheaper Air 5 via Apple refurb store at similar pricing to 10th gen now. At around the same price, I’d choose the Air 5 any day over the iPad 10th gen.
