I think they do it model by model for launch day if I recall. So has anyone else with a 128GB silver wifi only that ordered with a 21-27 range , not moved forwards to PTS yet?

I have a 512GB silver wifi+cellular on order. Actually I wanted the space grey but was too late.

Has the UK ever had a different date to the US in the last 10 years? I don't think so. Apple have prided themselves on their global launches. So this would be very strange if the UK launch was a Thursday?! a week later. If we were a week behind it would be 28th
Yep. The first iPad was heavily delayed in the UK after the US launch. Was that over 10 years ago?

Cheshire, United Kingdom.
At one point, I was considering a flight to NYC to buy one and/or getting a US based parcel forwarding company to ship on to me. Those were the days.
An American member here on McRumors kindly picked one up for me in New York and shipped it to me. It got held up for a while though because of the volcanic ash cloud from Iceland which grounded flights.

I don't know why anyone is expecting at changes today or tomorrow. Judging by previous years, both iPhone & iPad, the US gets their status changes & tracking early, as they get to track from China. The UK doesn't see much movement until the Wednesday, as we don't get to track until it leaves Hinckley, usually late on Wednesday, or during Thursday.

I'm just annoyed that I went via O2 this time, and so I've no indication of when it's gonna arrive at all lol.

Yep, nothing here, 12.9 512gb 5G if that makes a difference.

Hopefully we get them this week.
Mine is 12.9 256gb wifi, did you added Engraving on it? I have seen some orders from China that are engraved to be updated to ready for dispatch first , not sure if this is the case in the UK.

For what it’s worth, 256GB 12.9 still processing but I have a date range of 21-27th on the app, and got confirmation 5 minutes after launch

Everyone with 21-27 May orders that initially showed 21, need to calm the F down :D They will either P4D on Wednesday and dispatch Thursday Eve, or will P4D and dispatch Thursday Eve. Payment taken when P4D. Chill.
That’s what I said earlier, but seems no one listens. Lol.

It’s the usual pre-order/delivery panic…
I haven’t been charged yet, hasn’t changed to preparing for shipment, Sunday’s my orders have disappeared from my account… same old
