good lord, the ignorance in this post is off the scales.Apple has a real-time supply chain interface with manufacturers in China. Unlike Dell or HP, Apple's order delivery estimates are very precise. This is accuracy only possible if all component vendor systems are talking with each other. Given Apple's high security standards, changing this interface is probably only possible during very narrow and defined time periods and needs to match China's working time zone.
I know I am. I’m ordering the AirTags 4 pack. I still haven’t decided if I want to engrave them or not 🤣Who's excited to pre-order.
Yes you canDoes anyone know? With Airtags, once you set them as your keys for instance. Can you change the description to something else if you want to use it elsewhere?
Given they are from Europe it's way past 8am here, it's 11am CEST right now so when the store is back up it'll be 2pm CEST....for about 5 hours starting at 3am eastern, during a time frame you were aware of starting on tuesday, 3 days ago.
so at 8am you again have the ability to know this information. no one is delivering before that time, so you'll be iight
You are I bet!Who's excited to pre-order.
Am I supposed to know who Who's is?Who's excited to pre-order.
Everyone on MacRumors!Am I supposed to know who Who's is?
For sure, I'd say at least 2-3 days. Gotta ask yourself do you really need personalisation when they are going to be living with or attached to an item that is easily identifiable as yours? Also, quick scan on the phone will tell you which Airtag it is...Wondering if engraving is going to lead to longer delivery times? I've never had Apple devices engraved due to resale value, but I'm not going to be selling-on my AirTags at any time.

Hang tight — I can help with that — the new iMac starts at $1299 🙂While I kinda want one for my keys, I can wait, there’s no rush.
What is annoying is taking down the store. I wanted to check out the iMac pricing.
Agree. I wish other retailers did this like Apple.Be thankful that Apple's e-commerce site still works at all! I remember during the RTX 30-series launch and during the PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X | S launch, how horrendous it was and it still is! You can't guarantee yourself a new GPU or a new console even now!
At least, from Apple, you are guaranteed the hardware when you order it and you won't suffer the bad user experiences that you will get from these other hardware purchases.
So whatever Apple is doing with their e-commerce backend, it works! If they have to take the entire site off-line to prepare for the load, so be it. Even during the height of the pandemic, their site still worked seamlessly and even during the mad rush of the Holiday last year! Unlike the GPU and console purchases last holiday season....man...that was some experience!
Yeah, by no means essential but was planning on getting a 4 pack and giving one to each family member that they might move between things, and no doubt leave lying around on their own - so to avoid the "Who's AirTag is this left on the kitchen table?" questionsFor sure, I'd say at least 2-3 days.

Yeah I suppose if you all have basically identical keysets. Perhaps coloured keyring holder will do the trick?Yeah, by no means essential but was planning on getting a 4 pack and giving one to each family member that they might move between things, and no doubt leave lying around on their own - so to avoid the "Who's AirTag is this left on the kitchen table?" questions
Your Apple attitude is slipping. Sound off like you got a pair.I mean good old days of me waiting with excitement for preorder are behind me, but I will order the airtags just because it’s Apple 😅
