On apple.com mine still says August 2 to August 9. I called Apple and they said August 1 to August 8.
Seems like others on here saw that minor change and then a more significant change soon thereafter.
Got a tip for us?

I don’t think the extra 2 cores will make that much difference. The heat buildup in the fanless MBA M2 may throttle it anyway.
FINALLY! Preparing to ship with updated Aug 1-8 from Aug 2-9!! 💃 Midnight 8-core GPU/16GB/512GB
I’ve bought a laptop cooling pad that has a series of fans built in. At full speed you hardly hear the fans but they move quite some air. When I’m doing some heavy processing I’m planning on using this stand. Now if one would make a refrigerated stand, that would even be better but I haven’t found such a thing, yet.
Zero movement on my space grey 8/16/256 (35w) order that was placed on 7/18. I canceled my previous order for the same configuration but in midnight after seeing the new colors at my local Apple Store. My initial order was placed on 7/8 and showed an estimated delivery date of 8/2 - 8/9. The new order shows the same dates so I would think that it should start to move soon but atlas there’s been no activity. Just have to continue to wait and see I guess.
Same for me. I’m hoping we see some movement tomorrow when the next UPS flight takes off. 🤷♂️
Which one did you get? Looking to have one for my desk, so only when I am attached to my monitor!
It’s quite strange. Ordered a silver 10C/16GB/1TB on July 12 with delivery of July 21-27 and have had no movement beyond “Processing”. The local stores also don’t have any silver on display. Has anyone gotten a silver yet? I see lots of midnight at the local coffee shops, and my space grey was delivered quickly, but no luck with silver…
Ordered a BTO Midnight/10core/1TB the first minute orders opened, card was charged today and the delivery date moved up a day (8/1-8/7). In my past experience there has been only a day or two from the charge being applied to actual shipment movement. Apple tends to underpromise and overdeliver on shipments of this sort.
Yay! I think my MBA is on the current 5X11 flight. Cleared customs and on it’s way at exactly the same time (6.05+6 hrs time difference) as the flight to Köln was planned to take off (12.05). 🤞🏻🤞🏻
Wonder how long it takes to get to my door after landing in Germany. UPS still has 7-27 but I guess it could be here even sooner.
Hope more people are getting to see some movement today.

I can understand your excitement, but I doubt it, since it makes at least one final departure scan before leaving the continent, either in Shanghai, Seoul, or both. In my case the "arrival" at Zhengzhou matched the takeoff time for 5X11 from Shanghai for some reason and next thing I saw was "arrival / departure scan" in Incheon/Seoul.
Also UPS is doing the bare minimum to provide a date, meaning that they want to make sure it doesn't come much earlier for you to be home.
Notice that the UPS status is usually already in the proper time zone, it should show the exact time any flight took off.
And UPS is doing the bare minimum to ensure a delivery date, don't take the date for serious, unless the plane really took off or you have at least a departure scan in Shanghai / Incheon, it is still there.
There's also no too early but definitely no "too late", if your package says Jul 27 but the plane didn't take off (see dep. scan) to arrive at least the day before (in the evening in cologne, in this case 26th), it could change to "delivery date will update" meaning you are bond to the departure scan to know when it will arrive later.
I saw some folks here having exactly this issue, mechanical problem which is usually staff problems. In the worst case the waggon with all the packages for that day was mistaken / misplaced, not able to be put in the plane in time, set aside, and in the worst worst case I saw people waiting weeks for their delivery date to update after this
Seems like apple is prioritising the bigger markets rather than who order first. My mate in L.A order the same device and specs as me (512GB 16GB midnight) he order his on Monday and arrived today. Meanwhile I ordered mine on Friday when pre orders opened and still not even shipped yet. (I’m in New Zealand)
Delivery date just got removed with no additional info. My package is now officially in limbo
