Super weird launch for one of Apples "big" launches.

Unless you specifically asked a Specialist for an Air 2 you wouldn't know that they were available on Wednesday. Most probably didn't even know they were in-stock available for sale until they had a look on their handset.
 
A new day, a new status .... I WISH!!

So then, to recap ... 128GB SG AIR cellular .. Confirmation email at 4.06pm and status has been 'processing' since the beginning. Still showing original date delivery of 23rd to 27th Oct.
Time will tell but I have to admit, Apple have never been late delivering and I have quite a few Appley objects!!
:)
 
My iPad Air 2 (64GB SG) was dispatched last night from Tamworth and left London (which as I am located in London is extra odd) at 7am this morning. Apple's tracker states it is out for delivery now but UPS's tracker says status unavailable. I'll plan for the delivery today but wouldn't be surprised if it gets pushed to tomorrow. Anyone else have any insight as to when it may come? Just need some advice so I know if I should stay home today and wait until it comes or at least I get more info from UPS

Mine changed to preparing for dispatch about 7pm yesterday, and is still saying that now. Was hoping for delivery today.
 
I ordered a 128GB iPad Air 2 silver, yesterday I was sent an email by Apple to say that it was dispatched. It is being handled by Syncreron Parcle, and the estimated delivery date is the 23rd ie today, that can't be right can it? Dispatched yesterday and delivered today in the UK seems a bit fast.
 
My case is dispatched but says delivery Mon 27th! It's currently only 60 miles away from me in Hinckley. They should be sent Royal Mail special delivery.....
Ended up buying another. I guess the other one can be used for me mam's iPad Air... :confused:
Anyway, the iPad arrived yesterday, a day earlier than estimates implied. :eek:
 
Still showing as Processing, Standard Shipping for delivery 22nd-24th, no money taken and no sim showing. Very odd the differences everyone is seeing.

Morning update is no change from yesterday or pretty much every day since the 4.10pm order confirmation last Friday afternoon. Even the money is untouched. Sigh. Still, I am trying to remain hopeful of some change today.....
 
Yep. It's fast, has a nicer screen and feels much better in the hand.

Agreed - even easier to hold, screen is more vibrant, and much faster. No regrets here. I also dropped the cellular from my air 1 - so far so good, tethering and wifi will do me fine I think.
 
Extra update: Got an iMessage from Apple first saying it was dispatched for delivery by tomorrow. Then, a few minutes later, a second message saying it was going to be delivered today! Although, UPS's website still says delivery information unknown... hmm...

Here's to hoping it will be here today. Only bad thing is the delivery window according to UPS is 9am - 7pm. Gonna be a long day...

No change here too 128GB SG air cellular.
 
No cellulars at Apple Store in Arndale Manc store, boo hiss! Would have preordered but nobody home for a couple of weeks.
 
This is very disappointing .... I think this is the first time my expectations haven't been exceeded when ordering an apple product.

My delivery has always been 22-24 Oct. Every time I have ordered before, I have had my device early in the quoted time frame. Having to wait until the end of it, or possibly longer just isn't cricket. :mad:
 
That was much quicker than I expected... just got it delivered now. Happy I didn't have to wait around all day wondering when they'll arrive. I can actually go get food without missing the delivery!
 
it must take a hell of preparation to dispatch; mine is still stuck at this stage & £££s intact :(

For 23rd -27th delivery estimate still

Mine's still at processing and was at 22nd-24th delivery so I am highly dubious of seeing it tomorrow. Would love to stand corrected though!

I've just called Customer services on the 0800 number and been told that it is still on track for delivery tomorrow and that it is a status update issue. Here's hoping!

Did you check via online tracking? Mine is being delivered by the same courier and I can see on their website that it moved to within 20 miles of me during the night. So I do expect it to arrive today.
