My guess is that the technology at this point doesn't allow for the 3D touch tech and the Pencil tech in the same display.
Got a tip for us?

I know but it does suck - hopefully next year we get it, in a way it could work nicely with the pencil if they get it right, or they could have a way for it to detect the pencil and disable force touch in the app if needed.
Oh well.
With no Pencil and Keyboard cover for 5 weeks I got frustrated and am now giving up getting the iPad Pro and may consider it later on.
Even if I get the iPad Pro next week I will still have to wait for a month for the pencil and Keyboard cover. What will I do with the oversized iPad that I can't do with my iPad Air 2?

Anyone's pencil order status get upgraded to "Preparing for shipment" yet? Mine with a delivery estimate of Nov 20-30 is "Still Processing" apparently.
3D Touch is good and all but it really doesn't make of break a purchase for me, I don't really find it all that useful and I have a 6S+ and watch.
Again anyone order with BH see any movement?
Same and I ordered at 12:24. I agree with the other poster, I was very impressed with the pencil in person!
Mine either. Went the completely wrong way after leaving Hong Kong and passed through Dubai and sat in Germany for 2 days before someone noticed and sent it back to Hong Kong.
My 128gb, SG, LTE is scheduled to arrive tomorrow. The shipping origin is Nashville. Arrived in Dallas at 1:15 pm today. Original delivery estimate was 11/23 to 11/25. I ordered at 8:30 am on 11/11.
Mine is now in Anchorage....supposedly.

Yeah or may be a nice TV for the bed room.It will make a very nice TV dinner tray
Nah. I have a 40" TV in my bedroom already.
Honestly there really is no use for an iPad Pro without a pencil and keyboard.
Just to claim that I got the iPad Pro.
Ordered my iPad Pro yesterday from Best Buy, didn't even opt for Next-Day shipping and it arrived at my door this morning.
I've spoke with a few people at B&H about my order. No hope in sight there, unfortunately. They don't know when they will be getting shipments from Apple and Apple can't seem to give them a straight answer. At this point I'm just waiting on a potential keyboard and pencil shipment from B&H since I picked up the iPad Pro locally, but as of yet can't seem to get the other bits. Also have the pencil and keyboard on order with Apple with estimated delivery of mid December. :/
I almost had a pencil yesterday, went into a local Apple store to check and it turns out they received a few, but sold them straight away. They said they would call me if more come in, or the keyboard... They have not received any smart keyboards yet other than demo units. Space gray 128GB Pros sell like hotcakes. The silver and gold models are easy to come by.
If you knew anything about iPads you would know that they do not immediately receive flagship features from the most recent iPhone release. Never have, never will.
Mine just arrived. I was supposed to have delivery up to 11/25, then 11/20, then 11/19, but it came today. I plan to set it up tomorrow but first impression out of the box is that it is huge! Not a bad thing, just it is. My plan is to sell my Air2 and use my Mini2 out of the house and for reading. The Pro for everything else. I bought it for sheet music and editing documents with the pencil - now I just need my pencil.
Interesting, they now have them in stock in the stores closest to me in LA. I plan on taking mine in on Tuesday to return and repurchase it (selling my Air 2 for store credit and using some gift cards) with a different method of payment.
I have a wifi 128gb and it quoted $225 online. I could get more with eBay or Craigslist but have to rebuy it anyway to use the gift cards so I would rather just sell to Apple. My mini2 64gb got a $115 quote - might sell that too.
