I picked up my iPad Pro at the Spokane store today. It's a good thing I ordered on line. The Spokane store DOES NOT have any on display, and you cannot just walk in and buy one. For today, at least, you have to order on line. Then you can request in-sore pick-up and get it same day. I can return it until January 8.
Just out of curiosity I asked about the pencil. They do not have any, even for on-line order at the Spokane store. Even the so-called "smart cover" cannot be bought off the shelf. On-line order only, then you can pick it up, as they do have stock.
I'm going to set it up now and play with it.
