For all folks got 21-27 first then now became 27. I am on the same boat :)

(My order placed at 13:05 or so)

Envirofone used to be excellent. I’ve used them in the past to recycle a number of iPhones.

Before I joined the iPhone upgrade program, I used to “sell” my iPhone to envirofone the day before the next iPhone reveal, and there would always be a voucher to get another 10%. Then the next day hoping the next iPhone would launch before my 14 days were up and if not, pray for the “have another 7 days to make your mind up” extension email

Guessing no one in the UK has had their order move. I got 21-27 originally. It settled to 27th in the apple store app and it still just shows processing.
Ordered at like 5 mins past due to the bag bug removing it everytime I added it, and money still hasn’t been taken.
Worth noting I also ordered an Apple TV remote and that’s showing the same date and status
Exactly the same for me. I got an Apple TV 64GB as well as an iPad Pro and emails 5 mins after, due to the basket issue. Both are now saying 27th, but hopefully we will see them before that.

Are you using MusiMagpie? They’re giving me £247.50 for my 5 year old iPad Pro 128GB WiFi + 4G which I think is very fair.

The price hasn’t dropped in the last 3 weeks so I “refreshed” my offer the other day to give me another fortnight plus.
Yeah with the £30 extra, getting £330 for my iPad 10.5" 256gb, pretty nuts it's worth that much. Sells for less on eBay.

I already refreshed my price last week haha. It had gone down £10!

Bloody hell - just got a notification from UPS related to Apple and I got excited. Realised it’s probably my new work laptop to replace my 2017 MBP which is falling to bits.

Still a nice M1 MBA with 16GB so will be nice to have something that doesn’t blow a hurricane and toast my fingers while I wait for my iPad

You’ll love it. It’s a quantum leap forward. In fact, amazingly, it outperforms the 2020 16” i9 MBP.

Pretty sure US gets their’s direct from China while ours will go Hinckley 1st and dispatched from there hopefully next Thursday
This is the point. Americans generally get tracking all the way from China which can take a week (from dispatch to delivery). We, on the other hand, generally only get tracking from Hinckley with overnight delivery.

The key thing to look out for is being charged on your credit card.

I guess if 21st is going to be a possibility, we’re going to have to have a change of status quite soon. I’m still 21-27. I’m beginning to think Uk deliveries are going to be closer to 27th.

it’s a bit odd how it seems all early orders went from 21-28 on the order/email but then straight 28th in the app. Don’t remember if previous orders did that or kept a range?

anyway assuming they ship from Hinckley we’re not likely to hear anything for another 5-6 days even if they’re coming on the 21st

My last orders with HomePod, HomePod Mini, AirPods Max, normal iPad Have an indication of up to. And in the app every time the last date was for delivery. I think Apple Wants to secure himself with it if it takes longer

ive definitely had this on more recent Apple orders. In May 2020 I ordered the new MacBook Pro on release day. The order acknowledgement confirmed a delivery date of between the 12th and the 19th June. The app subsequently showed delivery on the 19th. It arrived on the 11th! ??

There is hope!

What do you mean by this? Is this what it says against your order on the Apple website? Or are you simply referring to the order confirmation email you received shortly after placing your order?
The Apple Store app is saying 21-27, and I’m still in order processing.

Moment of madness I cancelled my preorder for 27th, then regretted it so stuck ferreting around sites on release day hoping to get one.

I've never had dates drag on.... every "launch" pre-order I've done with Apple arrives on-time or early. They seem to over-egg their delivery times and exceed that expectation.
