No. They want to sell as many as they can. Someone screwed up.
Wow, just wow. You are why people scalp new products. Couldn't you have just waited a week or two?
gold with black will not look good on big device like ipp. Maybe its good for smaller size devices like ipod or iphone 5s.
Yes, I payed $230, but it's the pre-order not coming until Nov 21st. This is not for my personal use. I use the Air 2 with the Apex rechargeable fine point stylus. My business decided to purchase the iPad Pro for our design team first and I'm in charge of the purchasing for our company. Our designers wanted to use the Apple Pencil, but wanted to test one out fully before making the large purchase on Apple's website.
Yeah mine has two shelves and tags for the pencil and keyboard, and several covers and cases. I am going to assume they'll get some in within the next 2 weeks.

My Best Buy said they are expecting a shipment next week on thursday with the Apple pencils and keyboards... I haven't seen anything setup for them yet though.
Thanks, and interesting. I suppose I'll call mine on Tuesday or Wednesday. I think that's when they get stuff, unfortunately my friend who was the Apple rep for this BB store is gone. I have no one on the inside anymore. lol

I've been told by at least one BB employee that they won't be stocking the Pencils in any physical store locations until they're no longer marked as "Coming Soon" on the website. It might be worth calling the day the item page flips over, just to see if anyone's heard anything!
Go to an Apple Store in the morning, speak with a manager, and say you'll wait all day until a Pencil comes in.
Someone also said the business team is holding Pencils for businesses, so speak with a business team member.

I find it bizarre that Apple didn't have a shed load of these pencils ready
for the iPP launch. At least as many available as the iPad itself which was not in any way in short supply as I bought one.
Maybe not the keyboard but the pencil is integral to the Pro and without it
a key component is missing. Glib solutions from the teashirts in the store to order online. No probs, just a 4 to 5 week wait. Pathetic!

what I find even more strange is that they have competitor products specific to the pro (logitech create smart keyboard specifically) available. I'm undecided if I want to keep it or get the keyboard and silicone case. I like that this covers the entire ipad but dislike that when its folded on top of the keyboard, the aluminum of the case and on the back of the ipad rub together. I doubt that it will cause much of an issue however I like to keep it as scratch free as possible. My local best buy has spots for the keyboard and pencil but nothing there. I was told by an employee that they expect some in this week. I also went in to my local apple store today and was told that when they get them in, they are going to be reserved for those that ordered online for in-store pickup first then when those are fullfilled, will be available to purchase as walk-in. I asked if they'd seen any at all pass through the strore and was told no, only the display units. I'm torn between the logitech or getting the silicone case and keyboard by apple. It's almost $400 extra if I get the 3 apple products.
I got the silicone back and although very expensive it fits nice but I don't like the cutout on the lhs for the cover
to attach. Maybe not the cover but to allow it to slot into the keyboard. Heavy enough as it is without even thinking about sticking the cover on it aswell. This big beast will never leave the house so I don't need full protection just the silicone back to make it easier to hold.
Considerd the Logitech create as it looked very good in the box but all the reviews I read said it was a pain to
fit and was difficult to remove easily and it was heavy and bulky. Worked well but I have the Apple one on
order. Will probably get it with the pencil I ordered in a few weeks time if I can't pick them up in a store
before then.
I had no issue fitting the Logitech create. Went on very easy and is secure. It also comes off easy. I took it off this morning to exchange what I had for a color I wanted more. The new one went on just as easily.
Was just at an Apple Store closest me, albeit an hour away, and they said they didn't even get shipments of pencils or keyboards. How ridiculous. Tried talking to a business team member as we actually own a business and no dice there either. How disappointing. Yet another s--tty product launch. Was hoping things would go up after the Apple Watch launch but good old Angela is really showing her skill. Or lack thereof.
Thank you. Interesting. May give it a try. I like the red version as it looks
good with the gold. Cheaper than the non existent Apple version!
I think this ranks high on the Apple screwup list. Promising something, getting something else.
And then reading how people are going to stores threatening to wait all day. If you call no one has a clue as to whats going on, and they mostly give you bad info.
An official statement would be nice, thank you

where did all the apple pencil went? i saw couple on auction on ebay rest is pre-order just like us. Not on amazon either. I read a thread here in macrumors that some people got it which means they made apple pencil or whoever is the manufacturer but why so less quantity. Did you made only 50-100 units or maybe less. Is its possible that the container drowned in the sea but if thats the case we might have heard about it. I hope there is no conspiracy against apple so people cant buy ipad pros's main accessory so they become disappointed and return ipp. I hope everything is okay.
