Eh neither of those really mean anything. Couldn't care less but those are irrelevant points. A lot of new people sign up after buying their new product, I did that oh so many years ago and jumped right into the shipping thread. And the iPhone post looks identical down to the spacing between words so whatever.

Idc but it's possible considering he's from Macau which is right next to the factory.

Looks like I was right then.
You and me both. People who posts P@S on the first day on the forum are almost always trolls. Sorry, but it is true.

You don't need to believe me, lol. All you have to do is download the original screenshot, and check the EXIF data yourself. I used http://exifdata.com. There are a million other tools you can use to check.

Alright alright man I got you. But now I gotta download this program, I don't know who made that, maybe you to make this picture to deceive me that my MacBook could be on the way soon. I trust nobody my guy, but the screenshot of the Apple app? I mean I ordered their laptop so I gotta kind of trust them. End of the day buddy in Macau or you and some program that sounds like some kinda Star Trek BS.. who knows my guy.

Wtf are you even talking about? You get shown evidence and you don't believe it, but you'll believe the guy who just made an account just because it's what you want to hear? No ones gonna keep trying to convince you. Enjoy living in ignorance

I wish I didn't have to say I was kidding but I forgot this was the internet for a minute, sorry.
 
There are people out there that do this deception crap. Why? Some weird pleasure, I guess. But I find it rather amusing. If someone posts that their Touch Bar MBP is now PfS, then I would have expected a number of said posts. This isolated post is what raised my spider senses.

Does payment method affect shipping/delivery date? For example, would using PayPal credit give you a longer wait time?
 
Guys I just took the plunge and ordered my 13" TouchBar model... I was going to order on announcement day the 27th but had been skeptical until now =\ my estimated delivery says Dec 14-20... do you think it could come any sooner?

Sure it could come sooner but no one really knows. Macs don't typically beat the estimates at least for the first batch or two. But you are far enough down the line that supply may improve and your date will improve.

My advice for next time...do as I did....just order the damn thing after the keynote...that gave me 2-3 weeks to think about it anyways and now that I have decided I do want it, I'm first in line!! And my final decision will be in the 15 days I have to return it so I can benchmark it myself for the things I use it for compared to my 2012rMBP.

I'm pretty sure they're very conservative with these estimated dates. It should be earlier.

It will be an interesting holiday season at the Apple Stores:
"I'd like to buy the iPhone 7 Plus"
"Sorry, it'll take 3 weeks before there is even a chance we have one available"
"That's a bummer, what about a new MacBook Pro then?"
"Not sooner than next year, unfortunately"

Then, eventually we'll read analysts predicting a weak Q4.

Don't forget that you could also ask for the new Air Pods and you will get the same answer and even the Apple Watch Series 2 is in limited supply.
