Shipping delays ipad pro 12.9 2021


Hi All!

Has anyone ordered an iPad Pro 2021 from Apple this month or so? If so, did it deliver faster than anticipated?

I ordered mine the first day when apple start preorder , but the iPad is expected to come between june7-June 17,

Has anyone ordered one recently and did it take as long as Apple predicted? 

Thanks! Really sad

Same here. Initial I had placed an order in the middle of may and was expected date of delivery was around June 21. I had cancelled that order and reordered again after 7 days and the new delivery date being 26 June - 12 July. It’s extremely irritating to see this type of delay. We are paying premium price (and even more in some countries due to tax issues) and yet getting the product so delayed. The latest 12.9 model is not there in Apple Stores India, it has to be shipped from overseas (Dubai).

I ordered mine in the first couple of minutes of the preorder and was told a May 21st to 28th delivery. Then it was pushed to June 2nd to 9th and now I was just told it will arrive July 9th to 23rd. So the shipping estimates are everything but accurate. Just broken promises. Apple should under promise and over deliver. Not over promise and under deliver like they are doing. Incredibly disappointing…

I just checked that my delivery has been preponed from 26 June - 12 July to 23 June - 7 July. But still it’s “getting processed”.. Just bought the Apple Pencil 2 from Amazon in offer and I have only 10 days window period to return it. I wish I could get my iPad at the earliest so that I could at least check if my apple pencil is in good shape. Lesson learnt the hard way. I’m never ordering any Apple preorder anymore. It simply tests our patience like anything!! Now I’ve even lost the excitement of getting a new iPad.

Hi... ordered mine on May 7th and my current status is June 17-July 1. I'm really hoping it arrives next week as Apple indicated on my order. I'm replying to this thread on June 26th and we are now only a week away. I've been staring at my Paperlike and 12.9" Magic Keyboard boxes in eager anticipation. Just waiting for the only thing left to arrive... the M1 iPad Pro 12.9"! The debut seems so long ago now. :)
