The iPad presentation on 5/7 said the new iPad Pros would be available next week. I ordered one (11”) and it won’t be available until 6-17 the earliest. That is 5 weeks! The larger iPad had the same arrival time. What gives? Anyone in the know?
iPad Pro (6th generation)
I pre-ordered a 13-inch iPad Pro Wi‑Fi + Cellular 2TB with nano-texture glass in Space Black on 5/7/2024. I received the pencil pro and magic keyboard on 5/15/2024 but I'm still waiting on Apple to process my iPad Pro. My expected delivery is June 7-14. Pretty disappointing I received the pencil and keyboard almost two weeks ago, but my iPad is still a couple weeks out. I really hope they ship it out soon.

My husband ordered me the 1T with nano glass. Delivery was in June. I asked him to cancel it because I didn’t want the nano glass or and didn’t need the 1T storage. He reordered and went with the 512gb and the ship date changed to May 16th. I believe it has to do with which model you order.
When you preorder, based on the time of your order you join a queue.
The later you wait, the further out the shipping date will be.
I’m pretty sure it’s because the amount of people putting in orders. Just like with anything on release date, there is always a huge influx at the beginning because everyone has to have the newest and greatest. With everyone ordering, they are going to ship them in the order that the orders are received. So if you were to log in right away and be the first one to order then you would get yours right away. As the queue builds up, it’s going to be further and further out because they are going to have to fulfill all the orders that came in before yours. That date they give is when the first orders will be shipped out.
When I was little cereal companies had all sorts of premiums that you could get by clipping and sending a bunch of boxtops. I would dutifully follow the instructions, and then wait forever - they would take 6 to 8 weeks to arrive. By the time they did I would usually have forgotten about whatever it was.

Today is Sunday,June 2nd. I ordered the EXACT same iPad Pro as you. I am getting everything you mentioned for mine as well.
I went thru AT&T with installment plan and I was given a shipping g date of between July 12th - 26th. So my wait time is Anywhere from a month and a half to almost 2 months to receive mine 😮
****……..that’s a loooooooong wait to have to endure for something.
Oh,well. Good things come to those who wait,I guess 😮🫤🤷♂️.
I can’t wait to finally have my first iPad since I bought the original one when it came out.
I’m uber excited,to say the least!
I’m also buying the Magic Keyboard & Pencil Pro to pair with it 👍🏼
Need to decide on a case for it too.
I wanted to provide an update regarding the iPad Pro 1TB Nano Texture pre-orders through AT&T. I placed my order on May 14th, with an initial expected ship date of June 12th, 2024. However, AT&T has now updated the estimated shipping date to July 3rd, 2024.
Given the current situation, it's evident that the high demand has led to backorders, causing these delays. While AT&T offered the option to cancel, it doesn't seem practical at this point given the circumstances.
For those who have recently ordered their iPads, be prepared for potential delays. The supply chain is under significant pressure, affecting delivery schedules. Hopefully, this helps set expectations for others in a similar situation.
Best.
Congratulations! I decided I couldn't wait, so i got the one without the Nano screen. I use a special screen protector which acts like paper - PaperWhite - and has a matte finish. I love my new one and after the announcements this week on the AI being introduced in iOS 18, we will all be very happy we purchased this iPad M4. Congratulations to you!!!!

Yes, it has to do with how popular any given model is (as was noted earlier in this thread).

I usually just imagine what I would do with one of those large jackpots when it gets mentioned in the news. All the fun but without spending money on a ticket.

One of my clients was the largest lottery management contractor in the US (at the time). Their favorite saying was “your chances of winning are about the same whether you buy a ticket or not."

Ha! I love it.
I had a friend who was less kind. He said lotteries were a tax on people who were bad at math.
The iPad Pro expected delivery dates
