Mine still says “Preparing to ship” but still estimated delivery of tomorrow. We shall see, I suppose

Edit: About 3 hours after I made this comment, mine says shipped now.

Black Friday is just around the corner, for those in US, why can't you wait a month for a discounted M5? i'm sure Best Buy and other big box stores will have at least $100 off for these.
 
I've got it right here. Coming from an M1 iPad Pro I'm mainly just having a good time with all the design changes that came with the M4 version, like the thinner and lighter chassis, the updated magic keyboard, the new orientation of the camera, tandem OLED display, etc etc.

Happy to answer any questions though.

Education discount and trade-in of a 2nd gen made it easier.
 
One of the things I didn't realise about this new design (same on the M4) is how much brighter the display is. We all know it can reach a higher maximum brightness, but what I didn't realise is how much brighter it would be at 50% brightness.

The 10 hour battery rating on all the iPad Pros from the last 5 or so years at least is at 50% brightness, and so if you're using your iPad at 50% and aiming for the rated battery life, you will have a significantly brighter display than prior models. Less relevant for the M5 specifically, but for anyone upgrading from any LCD model, very cool.

So sad we don't have the interest for a shipping thread, like the iPhones.
 
Got mine, nothing special just another iPad.
Prefer my mini 7.
Probs gonna return it.

Could be wrong swapping between 2
