iPad Pro When are new iPad Pros being announced?

[jazz1]

Sigh 😐. Has anyone's iPad Pro order progressed beyond "processing" on the progress bar on the Apple website. I'm still confused about why my Apple Store pickup date isn't proceeded by a notification that it has shipped. Again, I suppose because I'm not the direct recipient of the shipment I'm left in the dark about the actual shipping date. Maybe it is already in the store?

As I've posted before a phone call to Apple left me with the impression that the only interim notice will be "Ready for pickup.

Anyone else getting more info on their order if it is an Apple Store pickup???

I know Costcos have received their shipments for in store sales and have them locked up until Thursday. Four M4 13” 256 in Syracuse.

Why would it be anything other than “processing” at this stage? The device doesn’t officially release until Wednesday, so it won’t say that it’s ready for pickup.

It’s also the weekend. Mine is due to be delivered to my house on Wednesday, so I’m not expecting a tracking update until Tuesday - Monday if I’m very lucky.

I hope that is my situation….meaning my Apple Store has everyone’s pre-orders. I could have waited and just gone to the Apple Store and buy on the spot, but I wanted to make sure they had my configuration.

I’m going to be on the road on launch day and have a trade-in. I thought about pre-ordering with in-store pickup and committing to staying another day or two where I have to be on the 14th. But there’s the trade-in aspect. So I keep going to the Apple Store and putting in the details of the one I want to see if it is still available at the store I’ll be somewhat near. It’s driving me nuts!

I wonder if the deliveries will ship Monday or Tuesday.
I do miss the days of watching the stuff get scanned in china and track it across the globe for launch.

Got my Pro today. Just wanted to say thanks to all who contributed to this thread for so long.

Congrats on the new Pro! I’m envious, big-time!

I’m in transit, out in the middle of nowhere, but heading back to home-base tomorrow. I’m planning on getting up and out as early as I can tomorrow, get into my site and drop the trailer, level, turn on the AC and then head to the Apple Store. If all works out, the trailer will be a reasonable temperature (like under 90°F) when I return with a new Pro. Then I’ll worry about doing the rest of the set-up.

I got my iPad Pro too last night. Thanks for contributing to this thread. It does feel a lot like my last iPad Pro, but with a better screen and keyboard

Forgive me if that sounds confusing, but it was worth getting and I’m satisfied with it but I don’t think it’s worth the money. I could’ve gone to the other side of the world for a week with that kind of money

It can’t be worth getting and also not worth the money. If it’s too similar to your other one, take it back and keep the money.

It’s time we viewed iPads like televisions, fridges, dishwashers - I don’t know about you but I don’t know what fridge models out, when they come out, and what the differences are. I bought my fridge when I moved home 9 years ago. It works perfectly so that’s as much as I think about it.

I did upgrade my tv last week because my last one was 8 years old and I looked at devices within my budget. I didn’t bother looking to see if Samsung were superseding it next week.

It needs to be the same with consumer tech. These are mature product lines now, these aren’t the heady days of the iPhone evolving rapidly every couple of years. If someone’s iPad meets their needs, they can pay no attention to the upgrades. If those upgrades seem like a worthy improvement, they can buy one.

It’s not that I’m not satisfied with it. I am keeping my iPad Pro, but I don’t think it has the right to be as expensive as it is. If Apple allowed me to open up my iPad and upgrade my storage and memory myself, I would’ve saved thousands of dollars. It’s such a shame that the only way to have a decent amount of storage is to pay those disgusting storage upgrades. While it sucks that I paid more than a decent desktop, at least mine is extremely futureproofed

I think the incremental jumps are too much. Either that or the base is a bargain. I went for the 256gb version, but my previous was 64gb so this is plenty. With iPad supporting external drives and the plethora of cheap cloud storage these days, I don’t really see much need for huge amounts of on-device storage anymore. I have my photos set to optimise space on the iPad which is a massive help, of course.

I like to keep everything on me. Even though I don’t agree with Apple’s prices, I’m willing to pay top dollar for a portable all-in-one machine. Besides, everything looks great on an OLED display and I hate having to download my own photos and videos from the internet. Since I wanted a portable iPad, that’s why I got the 13” 2TB Cellular model with nano-texture, in space black and engraved with my name, and I also am a sucker for larger displays

Got into town about 11, dropped the trailer and headed to the Apple Store. I’m really liking the new 13” iPad. Love the new pencil and was surprised at how much I enjoy using it (I lost my third one a year ago and never replaced it). I’m very glad I didn’t have an address to pre-order one because I ended up getting a different color than I had planned on. So all is good. My main complaint is that the black cord is short for my situation. No biggie, I have longer cords around.

Thanks to all of you for keeping me going while I traveled and was gnashing my teeth because I didn’t have an address. It all worked out for the best - I had to go into a Verizon store to transfer my account, I couldn’t do it online. The store was across the street from the Apple Store so very quick and easy.
