Who ordered their new iPad Pro already?

That kinda seems too low. I thought UK had higher median income than US?

In the US, I believe median is ~$55K and $75K puts one in the 25%.

Definitely not rich but fairly low overhead—no kids, brown bag lunches, rarely buy clothing and shoes, use cars for 10+ years. Tech is my splurge category.

Sorry my info was bad, looks like a year ago, £70k puts you in the top 5% in the UK

I am lucky as both myself and my wife have good jobs, so even with two kids, it means that we can make purchases or fix car/boiler/etc if we need to without cutting back on food/clothes/holidays.

But that doesn't mean i don't consider a £769 purchase carefully beforehand...

Ordered the 11” 64gb to replace my Air 2. It will be a consumption device, a little over kill but I really wanted that bigger screen and form factor.

Heh when you said "consumption" i had visions of you eating your dinner off it even though i know what you meant.

now if you could use an ipad pro as a plate then you WOULD be rich.

No you were right the first time, I have bought 4 to use as place mats on the dining table. The reason I want HDR is so that I can display videos of my Reef tank to add some interest when we are eating.

Anybody in the U.K. have their order passed processing yet?

I ordered my iPad and pencil via the Apple store app with Apple Pay just before the keynote ending song performance and it’s still listed as processing, card not charged yet but delivery date set for 7th.
 
Accessories starting to arrive...

Ordered the 12.9 one in 512GB silver + keyboard + pen. Super excited already, hoping the 12.9 comes with 6GB Ram

I’m on B&Hs education store and I’m not seeing the discount show up. Weird

I did a Live Chat to ask for a request and code to get my education discount. The rep sent in the request to someone else(?) and then sent me a link and instructions to use after I got the approval. I bought the iPad 11" and Apple Pencil separately to get my education discount for both (It wouldn't let me get my discount on one transaction). They will ask you for Apple's Education Discount link of the exact model you want.

Hope that helps! :)

I want to. Oh boy do I want to. But I haven’t yet because I want to confirm 2 things before I order a new iPad Pro.

1) I am still not sure which size I want. I am leaning towards the 11” because I am an artist who travels a lot, but I may have to hold the new smaller 12.9” to see if I feel the same way as the previous version of it being too big and cumbersome for a more mobile artist.

2) I want to get an official answer to this 6 gigs vs 4 gigs of ram rumor. If the 1 TB models are the only ones to get 6 gigs, I will go with it over the 512. But if the 512 models also have 6 gigs, I will go with it over the 1 TB. Just want to be sure.

Otherwise, my credit card is burning a hole in me pocket.

Based on current leaks (particularly motherboard/model info), I think it's a fairly safe bet to assume only 1TB have 6GB RAM.

I have the same issue since its was deliberately omitted from the KeyNote. The display last year and this year probably don't meet the Specs to be labled HDR or Dolby Vision.

I guess that’s possible but still confusing since some of the movies on my 2017 iPad Pros say available to watch in HDR in my TV app, albeit only when I’m connected to WiFi. Also there is an option in the TV app settings to download in HDR when available if I’m not mistaken.... I have yet to even use the HDR feature as far as I know (not sure if it has played in HDR without me even knowing it), so it’s not the end of the world for me if it’s not available on the new iPads but it would be odd in late 2018 not to support it when the Samsung Tab s4 does as well as most top end phones... not a deal breaker but a little bit suspect if you ask me.

It’s not been mentioned on any of the tech specs. HDR and DV support has also been removed from the tech specs for last years model. Also Techradar said in their hands on it does not display either format.

Interesting to hear it was removed from the tech specs of last year’s models, especially when I was reading an article by the Verge I believe, that was praising the difference HDR made to movies on the Pro 10.5 when IOS 11 came out last year and enabled that feature. I’ll try to locate the article and post the link but it definitely said that HDR on the iPad Pro was a big benefit to movie quality so it’s strange that it would then be removed as a feature. Not a deal breaker either way for me at least, but very strange.
 
I went the safe route and sent it into “itsworthmore” for $410.00. Minor blemishes. Could have gotten it for a little more, same location, if I had no blemishes. EBay is out for me. Too many wackos over there
 
Got the 12.9 64gb wifi-cellular + Folio keyboard from Best Buy. Used a Had a hefty reward zone gift card that I used

Went with the 64gb this time because I've had the 256gb option before and never filled it significantly. Plus everything's in the cloud anyway I'd rather spend the money in the cell+wifi version for when I need it.
 
I ordered an 11" with #2 Pencil AC+ and Keyboard Folio. Now I've decided to stay with a 12.9 for editing videos. I'll wait til I get the 11" and then return it and hope I score a 12.9 in store sooner than the delayed shipping estimates of 2-3 weeks that are currently on Apple.com
 
Ordered today. 3 to 5 buisness days from the 7th from US Cellular. WiFi+Cellular 256, Space Gray, 12.9. They said demand there is pretty low.
Looking at 9th if lucky 14th as floor
