everythingapplepro's video. I think that was just a joke though.
No but I ordered two 13" stock models (no charges for these anywhere) and my delivery window is Dec 5 - 9.
But I can report on the history of my adapter order if that might help in any way.
11/7 - Credit card charged
11/8 - Order went into processing in the morning
11/8 - Shipment notification with UPS tracking links in the late afternoon (Tracking only availible around two hours later)
Tracking status says:
CZ
11/08/2016 2:41 P.M.
Order Processed: Ready for UPS
So maybe it tells us something about the general procedure (which many of you are obviously familiar with).
100% joke. He had to cut into the box? I think not. Talk about frustration free
To be honest, I actually fell for that for about 3 seconds. 3 seconds too long
1:35.....and reading the comments yes it is a joke...and if it was real, it would be a very un-apple thing to do.
Ehats
My order now says "Preparing for shipment"
Guys.. it's a joke ! But maybe the "delay" is due to our boxes being totally filled up with free dongles? (that's also a joke)
Nothing for the last 2 days since my credit card was charged in full. Delivery by Friday (no delivery on weekends in Australia) is looking very unlikely.
One of the handful that has ordered the silver MacBook Pro 15". Pretty excited! Thought it was appropriate to go with the classic silver as this is my first ever Mac. Also, not too keen on the anodized Space Grey colour wearing after use.
Will my old 2015 13inch power extension cable compatible with my new macbook pro 15 2016 power adapter tho?
A few pages back someone said that Apple said via chat to them that they will ship batch one on the 9th or 10th and they'll be delivered by this weekend.
I believe this could be true from past experiences with Apple launches.
Some people said they got "express shipping", which is a lie (or they got finessed out of their $14 or however how much from Apple) as they always use the fastest shipping for new products. This being 2 Day Air for most of us or 2-3 days shipping, so the first orders should be coming in Friday/Saturday.
On top of that myself along with many other people who ordered stock machines haven't been charged yet, I believe this is because the BTOs for the first batch are being built and set aside and because of their assignment to people they are being charged now. Obviously stock orders are mass produced so I'm assuming once it ships there will be a mass amount of stock people getting their shipped notifications at the same time (again I've seen this happen before so it wouldn't be a surprise).
At the end of the day who knows, but usually Apple will delivery about a week earlier than they say and for us first batchers that's this weekend.
I see. Wishful thinking I guess. Luckily I have 2 from my existing power adapters that I can use, so I can save that $20 cost.
Everyone worrying about the election and I'm just here waiting on my Macbook Pro.
Im surprised Apple haven't suspended my account page yet, its been refreshed so many times. Probably looks like suspicious activity...seems im checking every few minutes right now....i need help.
So who do you think will be the first batchers? People with dates between 15 and 22 or people with dates between 17 and 24?
