Apple LG UltraFine 5K

[TigerWoodsIV]

Looks like the dates are slipping fast. It now says 2-4 weeks to ship and Jan. 20 in store pickup.

Yup, everything Apple lately has slipped to a month+ in no time. So happy I checked this and got delivery next week.

Any UKers got delivery in December?

 

[mrspooney]

Damn, was out so only just been able to order. Estimate when I ordered was 4-6 weeks (UK), but it just shifted to 2-4 weeks (10 Jan - 23 Jan). Hoping it'll come even sooner, like my 4K which came much sooner than the estimate.

That's what I got. I randomly checked for availability and to my surprise, it was available. Going to pick it up on Jan 20 at my Apple Store.

Ordering mine today. Glad I signed up for alerts on this thread.

I wasn't signed up to alerts Delivery for me is 10th Jan

Hi there, should it be added to the monitoring ?

By the time I managed to place the order, the shipping times had slipped. Delivery is scheduled for Jan 6–20.

Now I need to figure out how to plug my Ethernet cable into the monitor. The Belkin USB-C to Ethernet adapters have a 7-10 week lead time.

Would like to know which is the best ethernet option as well

Me too. 3-5 day shipping, delivery December 27-28. Just in time to get it purchased by 2016, which I can deduct as a business expense on my taxes this year. By the way, in-store pickup for the stores in my region say December 29 availability.

Is there a way to get the invoice this year even though it will be delivered in 2017? Use the business store? Ask?

Are you near an Apple Store? My local one has the adaptor in stock last few times I've been in. Note, it's the black and not white version so the online store will show it not in stock, but it's there.

I checked a few weeks ago, but will try again. Thanks for the heads-up!

That one gets good reviews. Thanks

I'll probably need some USB-A ports as well, so this Anker usb-c hub with gigE looks decent: http://amzn.to/2hZks5c

Most of the hubs have very short built-in usb-c cable. I wish they could make them longer or detachable. don't want too many cables hanging behind the monitor.

Thanks. It's worth considering this one as well. As the other poster mentioned, I just wish that there was a way of concealing it.

I have had mine for a week... Works very well and the old school LED's make troubleshooting a breeze.

My delivery date is 13th - 23th January.

I have the LG 4K, but will be returning that as it has sleep-wake issues with the 2016 MBP (well documented issue) and I also just noticed a small line of dead/stuck pixels.

Hoping it comes sooner....

Good info - Hope they get it fixed.

There doesn't seem to be anything Apple is involved with that actually meets self imposed dates much anymore.
It's almost out of the ordinary if something DOES ship on time now.

Very odd (sucks really).

Especially since Tim Cook is supposed the be the supply chain master.
