Re my snake, texts have been from DHL until now, but I’ve had one from the DPD driver. DHL said delivery between 11:00 and 12:00 but the text from “Anthony” at DPD says 11:30 to 12:30.

I dread to think how overloaded the delivery companies are on Apple launch days and from other posts I suspect Apple Pay is struggling. I’ve still not had the payment taken from my credit card, so will phone Apple if it doesn’t happen overnight.

I‘ve postponed my daily walk and Sainsbury’s shop until I have my Pro 11” in my hot sweaty palm.

Good luck to everyone else and congratulations to those who are already playing with it.

So my first impression is that it’s super thin yet surprisingly it feels quite dense to me… not that I would bend it intentionally but it feels stronger than I thought. Screen is beautiful. More later.

I made the mistake of ordering to store. So I walked in at 9.15am and it's not ready yet. The store person then said, well you can buy them as they're all in stock and then cancel the online order if you like? FFS. How stupid is that?

Today won't be as bad as iPhone launch days. One of DPD drivers can be really grumpy at the best of times but thankfully he is not delivering today as he also has a knack of delivering my stuff to wrong house.

Am getting really excited for my first new iPad in 7 years. Never really keep much up to date with iPads in the interim but this does feel like its a really good year to upgrade.

Similar to me. I've not upgraded the iPad for 4 years and also have the new pencil and keyboard coming as well. Getting closer although of all the delivery companies for my address DHL are the only ones who "Forget" where I live. They also completely lost an M1 MBP a few years ago. It never turned up.

Just tried out the Pro very briefly at the O2 store and honestly the display doesn't look like anything special. I think I might just order the Air now and save myself the buyer's remorse.

Don't like TOLED ?

Book an appointment at the opticians, just in case like


PS: I noticed that transferring to another iPad goes quicker if on power, even if both batteries are well charged
