Hey Guys got one just now from apple retail store in NJ. I must say Ipad pro is incomplete without apple smart keyboard. Now i see why apple released this device. Without Apple keyboard i was little skeptical about ipad pro and was very confused not anymore. People who has it without apple smart keyboard and who are not happy don't return it. I thought with Apple keyboard it will be heavy but i lift it gives fanatstic feeling. Not so heavy you can rest the keyboard on your lap and comfortably because there is no tracking so the distance between you and the tablet is less there no need for track pad.
How i got it:
Today i called in the afternoon to my local apple store but the phone was redirected to apple warehouse or customer service where they can check the inventory. Rep told me they have lot in stock i told them will they have by evening because i can go there in evening and rep said yes. Before going to store in evening i called again same process as above the rep told they don't have any in stock but then she transferred me to applecare where another rep who called my local apple store where she said few available there. I went there fast asked about the keyboard specialist directed to get the keyboard near the cases section and all i saw was logitech keyboard plus the other apple covers and cases from apple but not the Apple smart keyboard. So i went to the person by the door who sent me there and she said don't have apple ones but only logitech ones. I told her the whole story about my call. She told me to wait someone will help me. Then the specialist came and i asked about it and he checked his iDevice and he said he did not saw any and then i told the whole call story to him as wellThen he went back to see whether they small quantity in the back. I was waiting for him to come desparetly playing with the ipp which today they dedicated table for it yesterday there were only 4-5 units and today 8 more units with dedicated table just like ipad, Mac etc...So now he came back kind of running to give me good news that there is only 1 unit left it was in his hand. He showed it to me and i got so happy and relieved that i got it. That rep also got so happy for me like he got it for himself. All the phone call to final specialist this was best customer service i got. What a company, what a people and what a device. I like typing on it so intentionallyi wrote that long and also to tell people that you can get it using above procedure talk to AppleCare and asked them to call your local store to find out inventory not just on their systems because it will show not available. Guys don't return the ipp without using it with Apple smart keyboard. I will post pictures soon.
edit: added couple more pictures.
Great that is awesome!! I am really interested is if you can use like a with a smart cover it in a propped up mode if you wanted to use the digital keyboard instead. I have seen it in the watch mode though I have et to see any pictures of it propped up in a way you could type on the digital keybaord. Does this work? Thanks!
