Kinda ironic that I can plug my Google Pixel directly into the MBP when it comes since it's USB-C but you need an adapter to plug in an iPhone.
Uh, it is actually pretty ironic.
Got a tip for us?

What reason did they give you?My 13" MBP has been at my local UPS center since 8:15 a.m. and they wouldn't let me pick it up today.
Again, your argument is based more on "it's favoritism" emotion than actual reason. So to fill a pallet/container to said single port of call *WILL* take longer with less order flow.
It's a fact for-profit businesses typically go where it helps their bottom & top line the most. This is typically where the majority of revenue and customers are.
If pushing a few Country X orders to the end of the committed shipping window allows them to optimize there is an *economic* reason now not to do First In First Out-style fulfillment. This isn't favoritism, plenty of reasons why not doing FIFO-style fulfillment.

Called once this morning and they told me it wouldn't let them change it to store pick up so it must still be on the truck, then called a second time early afternoon and they said the earliest pick up time they could schedule was tomorrow.
I know I'm from Ontario, California, thats why I was so surprised my package was Louisville last night.
But now that it magically went out from Delivery in Ontario I am thinking the scan was wrong
That could be because the shipping container it came in with other items may not be unpacked and sorted until later today/tonight and then put on a truck or held for you tomorrow.

I finally signed up to share my story. Placed my order approx. 2 hours after event - been reading this thread since with fingers crossed for early delivery - been stuck on processing for what feels like forever. Trying to save some cash (! lol) I ordered Space Grey 13" 16gb 256gb storage. Have been debating since purchase if I should have gone for 512gb version.
After initial reviews for Non TB version with slight possibility of future drive upgrades I thought maybe I could upgrade later. Anyway after reading todays news that it the SSD is soldered in I decided that this is going to need to last a while, so spoke to Apple about possibility of upgrading.
To cut a long story short they said it wouldn't affect my delivery date, so the chat rep cancelled the previous one and placed an order for the new one, I just just received confirmation now of 21 - 30 Dec
Well, that chat rep assured me over and over that this date will change rapidly, and I should still receive it the same time frame as previous order. Even after I mentioned the new date, they said I will receive it sooner. Lack of movement in Europe, previous posts on here plus my never ending processing status make me think that my order hasn't even been looked at yet in the factory, but maybe the next few days?
After all the negative reviews/comments I still am really looking forward to this machine. I am finally upgrading from my mid-2010 MacBook pro, which I upgraded to 8gb ram and 512ssd. It has done me well and still works day in day out, chugging away. Even though I might have to wait longer, sod it, this new machine is going to be worlds apart from what i'm currently using! positive vibes
Similar situation. I initially ordered 13" with 16GB of ram and 256GB of SSD right after the event with 17-23rd Nov shipping window but I cancelled and reordered on 28th to upgrade it to 512GB SSD. Now my expected delivery is 7th-13th of Dec.
Mine just landed in Anchorage. I think then to Kentucky, then Mississauga, and then my house... And it still says tomorrow delivery
Awesome news. Mine is still stuck on processing, but its good to know they are working through them!
For those of you who received your MacBook Pros, the track pad can actually move while giving me the tactile feedback. I supposed someone wrote about the track pad being a non-movable piece of glass and the vibration engine is giving the user response. I can actually see the trackpad move downwards as I press it. Is this normal?
I haven't received mine yet but this is consistent with the trackpad on my rMB
I am the same status with more than 24 hours in Shanghai. If it missed the export scan, then our aircraft just landed 12 minutes ago and should see an update shortly as they usually scan within 30 minutes.
I have a mark under the speaker on the right side. Silver. I can only see it when I'm sitting at the computer. From above and certain directions, I don't see anything!

I have the same mark on the right side!Finally got mine and now i see some scratches by the left speaker any one else have any blemishes!!?
Because you're inside your delivery window and don't have your device yet? Whaaaaat?
If your delivery says 16th you should get it as they started taking more preorders again today for delivery on 17th. I think they saw they got even more than what people pre-ordered.
But wait... Even if it was the first place they looked, it would still be the last place they looked.
Looks like my package didn't make it on the flight 10 minutes ago :/ Did your tracker update with anything?
