iPad Pro Forget Pencil and Keyboard...anyone seen iPad Pro w/cellular?

[engineerben]

At least in Texas it looks as though the supply of all IPP models is tightening up. They're probably selling out of the launch batch and whipping up the next batch as we speak!

Just picked up a space gray model today at San tan Apple Store. Few other Apple stores around Phoenix area still show them in stock.

At this point, I wouldn't be surprised if everything is being (artificially) constrained.

I believe you're quite right.

I'd venture to say that Apple very deliberately minimized the visibility of this launch so as to reduce the risk of public embarrassment. A very smart company with terrific marketing accumen, Apple wasn't about to be seen on stage with a good yet only limited niche product.

With more to risk given the well received, brisk selling Microsoft Surface Products, Apple wisely chose the low road staying close to the bushes in case hiding was attractive.

Plenty of stock in the Bay Area....

Just as the title says, forget stock checks on the pencil and keyboard. Is anyone seeing the device itself with cellular? It seems like there's severe supply constraints on that model. I live in Dallas--not a small market--and I missed the iPad Pro's retail launch. I've seen stock of one iPad Pro cellular at one Apple Store on Wednesday. It was in gold which I don't care for. But that's it.

I'm curious if anyone else is seeing them at retail anywhere or if there's any inclination from the supply chain when we might see more at retail. Obviously tomorrow (Sunday) is a bust because no one gets deliveries then.

For what it's worth it looks like supplies on the 128 wifi aren't much better.

I'm in Dallas and was able to get a cellular from Willow Bend he day of launch.

Got a 128 space grey wifi cellular at an NYC area store this past weekend.

They have it in CT too

Bought mine at Stonebriar (Frisco, TX) last Tuesday. I saw the SG 128 LTE pop up and drove over to the mall - the Apple greeter was surprised they even had it in stock, but thanked me profusely for checking ahead of time!

I keep monitoring stock (using the web page) in the Metroplex and it varies. On any given day any particular store might have stock or might not.

Still waitin' on a pencil...

Yup it's ironic. The iPad Pro itself is much easier to find in stock than the accessories, despite the fact that the accessories are designed to work specifically for the iPad Pro and there are no good third-party options (particularly the !@#$ Pencil)...

 

[usarioclave]

Try getting one at the carrier stores (t-mobile, verizon, att, etc).

I ended up getting my 128 wifi + LTE in Austin. I happened to be down there when The Dominion got one in on Black Friday. I scooped that sucker up super fast. The other mall in Austin also had one.

Got back to Dallas Saturday and went to NorthPark on other business. Voila! They had recieved a small shipment of keyboards and I got the very last one.

Very satisfied with both purchases. The keyboard is amazing once you get used to it and the Pro is just a beast.

Haven't seen pencils yet.

I found one online in San Antonio store and snagged it as quick as I could. I have ordered a pencil, but still keeping my eyes out for one in the wild. I might early to the Apple Store Friday morning to see if I can get my hands on one.

Just ordered SG with cellular. Pickup available at Willow Bend in Dallas. Only area store that showed availability.
