I ask the person twice that he will not forget to apply it. my mistake not verify it at store
 
My iPad gave an exception....

And my pencils last scan was leaving the UPS sort facility this morning.

My S4 gave an exception too, and it was showing as out for delivery on UPS’ end and ended up being delivered launch day. (It was actually supposed to be held at the depot).

I took the day off work so I’m gonna be super pissed if it doesn’t show up today.

Never had these issues with tracking/delivery before this year. I’ll be calling them if it’s not here by 5.
 
Arrived! Ordered my Space Gray 12.9 just seconds after the Apple Store came back online. It's restoring now. Glad I thought ahead and ordered a USB to USB-C cable so I could connected the new pad to my iMac.
 
Oh... i’d forgotten about the USB-C connector.
How do I sync it with my iMac that doesn’t have any ubs-c ports?
<off to amazon for an adaptor...>
 
This iPad will serve me well for several years. So don’t take offense anyone....but I hope to not share this (preorder and such) with you guys for a long time. My bank account agrees with me. :)

I bought these Lightning/USB-C adapters...

...and this cable just in case the adapters proved troublesome. For connecting portables to my iMac's USB ports, I like cables around 18". There aren't a bunch of them that long to choose from. But I did find this one. Looks durable and I like that the gray looks spiffy with the iMac...

Picked up my haul at the Apple Store today. Cancelled my Verizon order which was supposed to deliver today but the order hadn’t been processed or shipped as of 6am today... So as soon as pickup in store went live on the Apple Store app, I snagged a 12.9 1TB LTE model, a keyboard and pencil. Also got bew headphones, a headphone adapter, and extra USB-C cable (2m). Now to find a screen protector and keep my eye out for a new case (want a custom anime themed case). But I’m hearing glass screen protectors seem to be affecting the screens and FaceID, so I’ll probably keep my stuff boxed until a good one comes out or I can find a decent film protector

My iPad seems to be stuck in customs. Just got a delayed notification. Anyone else?
 
The customs thing should clear within a couple of days. Usually it’s by the next flight that goes out but I’ve been stuck in customs trying to leave China for 3 or 4 days before. Any time a shipment goes to a different country there’s a possibility that it can be delayed in customs. I’ve also had a watch get held back in Anchorage for customs...and that wasn’t even for the import scan that happens in Louisville.
