Hello all, I was hoping some generous Apple employee could keep us updated on when the new iPad Pro 11 becomes available on the EPP store for the Friends & Family discount. I have a hookup in Apple -- but I don't want to bug them to check availability every day. :) There was a similar thread for the iPhone 12 Pro last year and it was extremely helpful. Thanks in advance.
 
Caught in the same situation as well. Appreciate if anyone can shed some light on the rough availability of the iPad Pro 11" in the EPP store. Thanks!

On one hand, if it goes anything like the iPhone 12 Pro (ie 1 month after general availability)... Then I estimate June 25th. But on the other hand, there doesn't seem to be a shortage of the iPad Pro 11". There's a ton in stock at our local Apple store. So... /shrug
 
There's some public EPP links you can dig up on Google; can keep an eye on the prices there to see when it might drop? I assume the Apple insider prices get discounted at the same time. I have an EPP with Apple through my employer and the new iPad Pros have not been discounted yet as of right now.

Ah good point. I will keep an eye on these and see if I end up drawing a correlation to the actual Apple EPP timeline. Thanks!

Safe to estimate that it would take lesser than 1 month?

Will keep you guys posted if I hv any updates on my side!

No updates on my side so far. Wonder how’s your side?

Is 24 May the 1st day iPad is available (excluding pre-orders)?

No updates either. But it looks like all the 11" iPad pros are sold out at the local Apple store. Hopefully this doesn't translate to a delayed availability for the F&F EPP discount.

May 21 though.

Ah. Still available for same day store pick up in my country. Does F&F EPP available depends on local supply/demand or global?
 
The AirPods Max are still not on EPP and they are finally widely available. So hard to say - but supply has much to do with it.
 
Great forum here.

My friend at apple just checked the availability, and unfortunately the iPad pros are not present under the EPP discounts yet. (In the Netherlands, that is)

Would love to hear when they get available for F&F discounts, so i don't need to bother my friend everyday... 🙂

Years ago when my friend first started hooking me up with the F&F discount, he told me that global supply & demand would dictate discount availability. A lot of iPhone S models, with only incremental improvements, were available almost immediately. But next gen iPhones often take a month wait or longer.

We should set up a system where everyone takes turns asking their friend to check on a different week. 😂

I will ask my friend (US employee) to check this coming Friday.

Makes sense.

You can actually call Apple and they would let you know if it’s available yet. But they wouldn’t know when it will be available haha.
 
evarix said:
Yeah. Did so a few times. All they could say was whether it was available or not.

Anyway, I might not wait for it anymore. Probably just get it from a store..

Thanks for the info. I'm kind of thinking the same.

I'm not sure where you're based. But Costco, Amazon and Walmart have all had it off by $50 recently.

Contemplating the same thing here... Then if only it would hit the EPP store right after you purchased it 🤣


The waiting game... 😅😉
