Usually takes a good day to get products that are released immediately onto the carriers sites. They dont have time to prepare, Id assume. In any case, I waited myself and said the heck with it and ordered off the Apple site. SG 64GB 11 with LTE. Now I need to find a folio type case. I was going to go for the smart keyboard but I like folding the case over and using the iPad.

Just waiting on AT&T to update their website so I can order an LTE version via AT&T next since Apple's website won't allow that..
I'm trying to remember how long it was before the last release of the Pros ended up on the ATT site. Like you, I usually buy the cellular version with ATT Next. It was a decent wait before the last ones hit the ATT site I think. Since I'm usually on a 2 year(ish) iPad cycle anyway Next makes sense instead of spending all that money up front.

Yup same here. Shame they make us wait!

Im with both of you above. I too usually buy with the NEXT program. This time, I said, "hell with it" as I have some disposable funds I planned on using anyways on it and just pulled the trigger. One cool thing I just noticed is that Apple Care can be purchased at a monthly rate now of 5.99. I didnt know that prior. Always thought it was an upfront charge.

I’d be surprised if they have pre-orders. I’m pretty sure last round they weren’t available until after they were released. I vaguely remember having this same debate in my head about buying outright or waiting for Next.

I just ordered mine through AT&T. Usually don't but went with it this time. Now for the wait. If this goes anything like ordering the iPhones each year I won't know an actual delivery date until about 48 hours before it arrives.
