iPad Pro [US] iPad 2024 Order Thread

I’m pretty sure the answer to this is yes, but can you go to your in store pickup appointment later than the check-in window? I can longer make the appointment I originally made in checkout and need to go 5 hours later.

5hrs would be fine. The length of time varies by store and chat could give you a specific time. You might have to wait for current appointments first though. Contact Apple and see if they can change the appointment 5hrs later. If not keep it and show up late.

So the cover detaches from the back casing? Is it magnetic magnetic attachmen?

Yep magnetic it snaps to the edge of the case. Looking back through Apple stores I finally noticed one of the pics shows it detached. I’m happy with the case and my ipp 12.9 m1 does not fit in it.
 
The latest (if it's today) would be 1 PM Est.

If nothing by that time, it's tomorrow.

At least 5pm is better than tomorrow. I ordered an iPad Pro I expect I will hate (nano texture which apparently means washed out colours and fuzzy text) and tried to cancel two hours after placing the order to no avail. Apparently it takes six whole days to “prepare” for shipping in Apple World, yet no tracking or anything.

It's not like the old days of standing in line for hours. Even phone launches, I see minimal lines, like ten people is now a huge line. As opposed to the 100 or more back in the day.

And past iPads, store activity looks no different than any normal day, you wouldn't even know there was a new launch.

I don’t even visit on a weekend. Not real fond of crowds. Better things to do. My new IPP 13 will be delivered to my front door on Wednesday.
 
I ordered an Apple Pencil today but the iPad on Tuesday last week will this affect the ship time for the iPad or will they just ship separately and the iPad will be deliverEd on launch day?
 
2 hour delivery says unavailable for all iPad Pros. Is this because it isn’t in stores yet? On Wednesday morning, would 2 hour delivery become available for non-complex/customized orders?

Agreed. With the appointment system, store pick up is a fairly efficient process. A few weeks ago I went to the Apple store for an appointment to pick up an item. Checked in by someone near the door, "stand over there please" and 5 minutes later I was out the door. Genius Bar appointments are more hectic but to address a battery issue it was important to get the device checked and have the results entered in the record they keep. Busy or not, I have always found the staff to be attentive and helpful. As noted previously when you go for an appointed pick up, the time is set. UPS/FEDEX delivery times in my area are variable. I am reluctant to have expensive items sitting at my front door when I am not there to receive them.

I made that mistake once. On the launch day for the iPhone X, I went to the apple store about 5 am. There were already several people in line. I wanted to see the display phone before I made up my mind if I wanted to purchase it. I think it was about 1 PM before I got out of the store and probably after 12 PM before I got into the store. I decided that day that I would try the pre order the next year if I wanted to upgrade. I have pre ordered every year since then that I have upgraded.

yeah I guess it would make sense they probably already packed the iPad and it’s probably in a pallet they are not going to unpack the package just to add the pencil in it
