Like you I'm hoping the pencil will replace a paper notepad, I've heard good things about Notability, but I wil let you know what I think in 2 hours when it arrives :D
Thanks. Waiting your feedback. In general I use Notes app but with the pencil maybe some 3rd party app will be better

rang UK Mail to see if they'll try and redeliver today. If Marty McFly can post his 'sorry we missed you card' before he apparantly arrived, then I'm sure he can make time to pop round again later.
 
Gutted for you :(
Hopefully you won't have to wait too long for yours to arrive.
Thank you, Zari.
Apple is already processing a replacement for me and it will ship in 1 business day :) (I'm hoping for DPD this time)
At least I can count on them. I'll make sure to avoid UK Mail in the future, although in this case we obviously didn't have a choice of courier.

most recent tracking update on the DPD site is still that it arrive at Depot this morning :(
And just as I posted that, received txt msg from Apple saying it had been delivered and now the DPD sites says its deliverered too. Time to go down and loiter around the office mail room

Just an update regarding my situation, in case someone is experience the same with uk mail.
They're not going to deliver tomorrow, they're sending my ipad back to apple (cheers!)
But apple has marked me as urgent and will send out a replacement ASAP (1-3 business days). They also marked it not to use UK mail via my request. So yeah, we'll see how this goes. I'm not particular excited anymore, after all this hassle. I will be happy once I actually have the ipad in my hands, tracking doesn't excite me anymore.
I'm so sorry... This happened to me with iPad 3. I know the feeling.
 
Got my gold 32gb from the Apple Store at Cribbs Causeway in Bristol. More people queueing than I thought there would be, although most were there for the iPhone SE. Love my new toy! The true tone display is subtle, but really nice. The speakers pack a lot of power too! Also got the Midnight Blue case and cover, which were really nice (and pricey). Made a video showing them here if anyone wants to see the Midnight Blue/Gold combo.

It's really annoying, mostly because i wasted a nice and sunny day inside the house..pfft haha
 
Annoying to read some posters have had issues with their deliveries.

Shame Apple can't use one courier company but I guess it would be a logistical nightmare if something went seriously wrong.

I'm hoping mine will ship with DPD; I've (yet) to have an issue with them.

What's your order status?
Mine has been stuck on processing items for a little bit now, but this is for my replacement ipad. hopefully it gets shipped this evening or tonight.
delivery says 4th april though..(not that any of the other delivery dates were right, but that would be the latest i guess)

My iPad has arrived, but I haven't opened it :( I had some work I really needed to get done and I knew if I'd have opened the box it would have not been done! But I'm about to have a play now, need not say I'm very excited :D

Let us know if this progresses, from what I've heard DPD are usually really good, I was very impressed with them. So this sounds unusual, I really hope it's just a mistake and it will arrive today!

Given your issues with UK Mail I'd imagine Apple will excel themselves and get your replacement iPad shipped out to you tomorrow. I certainly hope so, anyway.

Mine's being "Prepared for Dispatch". Estimated to deliver between 01/04 and 05/04 for me. They've finally charged my credit card so expecting to check the status tomorrow with something more concrete.

One of the apple specialists told me he would mark the delivery as urgent. I really hope he did. I can wait til Monday, but tomorrow would be even nicer. Fingers crossed for the both of us.

I'm not normally pro compensation and not a fan of self entitlement but I believe in this case considering how Apple and UK Mail have messed up your delivery Apple should really offer you some sort of compensation. Maybe a free case or smart cover.

I remember when I preordered my iPad Air 2 from Apple I also preordered a product Red smart cover for it. They were supposed to be delivered by UK Mail. The iPad was delivered on time but the smart cover wasn't delivered at all. I called Apple to complain and they sent me out another smart cover for free. As it happened about a month later the original smart cover was delivered by UK Mail so I ended up with two smart covers. The second one is still unused and unopened to this day. I might see if Apple are willing to exchange it for a iPad Pro smart cover. So I agree with others that UK Mail are pretty poor with their service.
 
They both arrived.

And I was right: One is perfect, and the other has dust under the camera lens!

I've had the dust issue many times before ...
[doublepost=1459446135][/doublepost]The sound on this thing is f*****g SUPERB!!

Really decent bass!!

And I've just (am currently!) experiencing PIP for the first time!

Coming from an iPad 4, I've missed out on a few advancements with iOS ...

Massive upgrade for me, I've been using it all afternoon. However I'm missing 3D Touch..
 
I don't find that it's particularly smooth (animations).

Do you think it could be indexing?

It was set up as new ...

I noticed the same thing. I think it was syncing pictures and my music in the back ground. Lasted about 3 hours. It's now running buttery smooth now.

Nice one, Mark.

So overall, what do you think?

What iPad are you coming from?

Is it what you expected, or more/less?
 
I received mine today from Apple UK (719GBP for 128GB cell). And just saw inside departure on Lutton Airport - the price is 679 GBP for the same and the Apple Pencil is 20% off there is you buy the new iPad.

Fingers crossed indeed. Of the two of us you deserve to have yours delivered much quicker than mine.

I hope the Agent is true to his word. I've a feeling he will be, personally.

Not saying Apple customer care is 100% all of the time but whenever I've dealt with them they've always been exemplary.
