I am just curious as I’ve just been reading the first reviews of the new MacBook Pro line with the M3 series chips. Every article I’ve read so far states the first two tiers of the M series are available November 7th, which is today, with the MAX version shipping later or at the end of November? I ordered the space black 14 inch with the M3 max chipset on launch night and mine is arriving today November 7th! At least I hope it is 😳 I got my confirming email that it had shipped and will be arriving today. Did I miss a change in timing announcement?
Got a tip for us?

Why is still being reported that the M3 MAX versions not available until later in November?

Interesting, I’ve read that also somewhere else for Australia.
I was hoping that also in Europe the 14’’ M3 Max would be available for pickup on launch day, as my estimated delivery is still Nov 17-27 and processing. However, M3 Max models still seem to be unavailable in UK, FR, DE, IT, ES, NL, AT as of today…
I'm seeing a bunch around the LA area for the 14" binned Max. No other Max variants though.
My 16" Space Black Max loaded (16/40 128 GB / 8TB) is on the UPS truck for delivery today according to UPS and Apple. Delivered at 1 pm CDT.

I’m seeing store availability for 16” M3 max in silver for this Friday 11/10. East coast US. Black shows 12/1
I got my M3 Max 14" MBP 16CPU, 40GPU 64gb today. Ordered day of announcement. You can get the 16" Max base this friday according to the Cdn apple store.
Not sure how people are getting these so early. I checked the local Apple stores in Sf no m3 max’s until late nov early dec. I ordered my 16/40, 48gb, 1TB and will arrive nov 20-22. Still processing.
Important to note: Silver did it - I found inventory in all stores for the 16" M3 Max, 48gb/1tb base, available 11/10 in SILVER. All Space Black are 12/1
Mine's been in processing stage for 6 days now. My roommate got his (16/40/128/4) yesterday despite initially showing a delivery date later that mine - was only in processing stage like 2 days after ordering it the night of the announcement.
Many local Southern California stores all had the top max cpu in stock yesterday for 14/16 in the morning for store pickup. But they were sold out within 30-60 min of being up for sale. I was hoping for some kind of hidden “Ultimate” configuration (Apple would sometimes sell a BTO version in the stores) in years past that had 64gb of ram and 2TB but no dice.
When exactly, at 3am when it appeared everything went live? I checked at 6am and nothing was available throughout the LA area except the 14/30 14".
