False alarm - it’s not the iPad, coming tomorrow. it’s a different delivery but the order number structure was the same as Apple’s so I mid-assumed.
 
Just got my Smart Folio for the 11". A bit thinner than the old one but the M1 11" fits it well, BUT, Apple must have changed the magnets round as the M1 won't stick into the new Folio. Apart from that they're the same size.
That sucks, it means my magnetic stand probably won’t be compatible either.
 
The new folio case arrived for the 13” Pro. Assuming the cardboard insert represent the M4 form factor, it’s quite an impressive reduction in thickness compared to my old M1.

Doesn’t really translate in the photo but in the hand I was quite surprised at how much thinner it really is going to be.

Is this the new denim colour?
 
Thanks for the tip on pay in 5 on Amazon, was just able to order using that option, 13 inch M4 Black Pro, Wi-Fi (as it wont leave the house). May at some point get the smaller 11 with cellular. It arrives next Thursday. Going to see if the Magic Keyboard I have for my older 12.9 iPad Pro works with it, if not will order new one.

EE just told me my order was cancelled due to no stock which is odd considering it’s a pre order.

Anyone else get told similar

When I used to get my iPhones on contract EE messed me about terribly with pre-orders so never again. I always buy outright from Apple now but appreciate it can be handy to spread the cost over the period of the network coverage.

All the way up to ordering was convincing myself on the 11” as the older 12.9 was heavier, last minute could not resist the 13” and glad I made the choice.
I feel your pain. I went for the 11" again but I'm now wondering if I should have just gone for the 13"! 🥲 The choice between the two sizes is one of the hardest things to weigh up for me out of any Apple product choice dilemmas.

The fact the poll in the forum has thousands of votes and almost exactly 50/50 split is testament to this I think.
 
Anybody know if there are any vendors who offer interest-free monthly payments for the iPad Air? John Lewis don't seem to do them anymore and KRCS are only doing them for the Pro.
 
Ah, the age old dilemma where my heart says "go with the 13" iPad Pro" while my brain says "you know that only the 11" iPad is going to suit your needs". :confused:

Same here. I know if I got the 13 with my MSK issues I know I would end up regretting getting it at that size.

Amazon and Very are two I know of.

Go big or go home I’ve always loved that saying

Seriously thou you could always order the 13” and see how you get on with it during the return window and then decide if it’s for you than order a 11” and have any regrets

I’ve waited to upgrade since 2018 from my 11” for the screen tech to come to the 11”. I’ve even had a 12.9 since which I sold as felt too big.

Therefore of course I ordered the 11” M4 immediately…then cancelled and ordered the 13”. What’s wrong with me?!

Nothing and you are among like minded friends here who completely understand. In your position I would have ordered the 11 and 13 and returned one. I've done this is Air and Pro both 11". Reading all the 13" posts is making me swither on size now (also colour) so probably best thing would be for me to stay off here until Wednesday. However I am enjoying the build up and have never ordered an iPad for launch day before just the phones.
 
So has anyone had any signs of an early delivery? My Logitech case is arriving today, but the email from Apple this morning said it would arrive Monday. When I ordered my iMac a couple of years ago, it went from "arriving in 2 months" to "arriving this week" within a matter of days.

I know pre-orders are different but would be a nice treat if it somehow arrived early!
