iPad Pro Ordered the New IPad 10.5

I think these are some mistakes in Apple Ordering System.
Yesterday my date bumped from 13 to 23 June. But today it's 13 June again.

Is this a good time to order now or wait if back to school promotion is near?

On past experience, the promotion should have started already. If my delivery is delayed until Friday I might return my order and pick up the deal. Hopefully it's better than Beats headphones this year...

Mine is back to the 13th but there's definitely some churn in this. Would expect to see it being dispatched sometime soon for a Tuesday delivery.

Doesn't it usually start in August?

I didn't mean ship with beta, nor would that be possible. It would be awesome if it shipped with iOS 11 in full completion to have a full experience of all the new iPad features incorporated into iOS 11 and new hardware. It's merely a thought.

Caveat there, iOS 11 release likely coincides with the release of new iPhones. It would probably look bad if Apple announced the A10X iPads at the same as the A11 iPhones.
 
My iPad 10.5 Pro, Space Grey, 256, WiFi + Cell, just moved to Preparing for Shipment. I am in the US, west coast.

Just curious is there any reason to get it at the Apple store over bestbuy? Bestbuy is offering a free $25 gift card and where I live ( Brooklyn NY) has a parking lot unlike any Apple store in NYC short of the one On Staten island but costs something like $12 with a NY ezpass.

Over the years, I've owned every iteration of the iPad except the 12.9. I've bought them all at Best Buy. Being an Elite member gives me Reward points to spend and a 30 day return window.

Although it hasn't been a problem in recent years, there was the infamous yellow/multi color screen problems. Every single iPad I got from Best Buy was pristine.

Just my positive experience.
 
Mine was saying "shipping in 5 days" and delivery date was Jun 15. Now it's 1 day shipping and delivery on Jun 13. That being said.. Apple is trolling me hard. lol

I get the text messages for shipping and delivery for my orders. Well, the pencil shipped, and I was sent the text. I got excited until I checked and saw it was just the damned pencil lol. Then I got a shipping notice again, and a delivery notice. So pencil made it here today, and the smart cover shipped. UGH. Cover will be here tomorrow. :(

Ordered yesterday, 10.5” with the pencil. Originally showed the 14th but now 13th. The pencil was supposed to arrive today but I grouped them together so they arrive at the same time. Maybe the pencil sped it up a day? Either way I’m definitely ok with this.
 
I was authorized last night and am in preparing to ship. Funny enough, I canceled my pre order of the i5 2017 Surface Pro after seeing ios 11. We’ll see how it goes with just a 10.5 iPad as my only computer, since I sold my MBP 2016.

Although, I’m still second guessing my purchase, the 8-10 hour battery life, fanless i5, LTE and windows bringing their swipe keyboard to Windows 10 is alluring.

Okay, change of plans lol.

Ordered a white/gold model yesterday, but never been 100% sure if it was the right choice.
I've always owned black iPhones/iPads and believed it was time for a change. But after looking at pics/video's more and more, i started to regret my choice. Black is so neutral, so timeless and professional looking. Also i know what i'll get by buying a black one, with white i still have to wait and see if it satisfies me....

Too much of a gamble really. I decided to cancel my white/gold and ordered a Space Grey one right after.
I went on safe, hopefully it was the right choice after all!

(going to have to see if the white smartcover fits nicely on a SG one though, can't cancel that one anymore)

I did the opposite. I ordered a 12.9" SG 256gb. Got the order confirmation email and only then did I notice the black bezels. The last 2 ipads I have owned have had white bezels and I like them. Now this is just me, but when I saw those black bezels on the order confirm, all I saw was my first ipad 2. Too much money to pay for this IPP 12.9" not to be happy so I called and had Apple switch to Silver.
 
Two 10.5" 64GB (me & Mrs) ordered yesterday. Originally slated for delivery next Friday. Today they were pushed up to Tuesday. The transaction hits the CC (Apple Pay) and is declined (paranoid bank) so I think we have some more days added on, depending on the frequency of payment retries. I called Apple after clearing this up w/ the bank, but they were not able to manually retry -- presumably because it was via Apple Pay. Wasn't about to give actual CC # over the phone because I've had the info skimmed or otherwise stolen twice in recent time.
