I doubt it'll be the 8th. First, it's a Sunday. Second, review embargoes haven't even been lifted. I think the 11th makes a lot more sense, with reviews out on the 9th
so pre-order on wednesday actual launch on friday 13th?
can't remember when is the last time apple launch (not refresh) a product on wednesday....

btw, friday the 13th, doesnt sounds like a good day LOL
 
Usually you have to wait months or a year to go back to a post claiming Apple is going to do something or release this or that on a specific date. (The guy claiming the Plus didn't exist in multiple threads still amuses me) It looks like this post may provide a few laughs for the weekend. I'm on the edge of my seat in anticipation.
 
welp stands to reason either MacMall, Target, or BOTH are wrong this time!

PLOT TWIST: 32GB comes out on 11/6, 128gb on 11/8, and 128gb+lte on 11/11!! Definitely confirmed. Sorry guys couldn't help myself.

No, much 'more confirmed' the 128GB LTE will come out on the 7th and the others on the 31st so the lesser patient folks buy the top model they don't need. Apple Pencil and Smart Keyboard for 11th release date so your device lacks the accessories form day one. Seems legit.

Every time a user thinks he can beat the system is amusing. Same goes for attention whores who have the need to post news threads before MacRumors does, just to be the first one. Only that theirs contain roughly half the information available.
 
Apparently there's an actual rumor out of Japan, citing some vague information from Chinese suppliers, that says today. But here it is today, and Apple's web site still says "Available November." Of course, they could announce at 8:00 a.m. Pacific Time that it's now in stores, but that seems vanishingly unlikely.

I'm going to go on record as saying Definitely not today.
 
I thought the most credible source was 9to5 Mac as they are usually right. The guy there said that the iPad Pro will be available from the 11th which is next Wednesday, it's unusual that Apple haven't even mentioned it yet tho, maybe they are having issues with the amount they can get made.
 
If you beat this dead horse any further you'll kill it again.

the keyboard only works in english right now so.... that may limit availability in china.
 
Sorry for the guys/girls that don't like this thread... I am only 17 years old and i just want to share some exitement with you!
It's been 11+ years... So forgive me if I'm wrong, but I don't think 17 is a reason one can give to ask the same question over and over (+10) and it's still okay. ;) Imagine those movies where the son or daughter are on a road trip and keeping asking their folks "are we there yet?" ;) (it's kind of like that, lol.)
All I'm saying is maybe just check this site or Apple every other day or so, and eventually you'll see when it will be released. Patience can suck, but it's part of the game when trying to get Apple's newest products. :)

Exactly, I am eight and even I think the twenty threads are unnecessary ;)
 
I'm going to say that the release is sometime next week. The Target poster said it comes into their system on the 8th, which is true for pretty much any electronics retailer. Most likely, it will come on sale during x day, and the next day you'll be able to pick it up in store. It will be somewhat similar to the Apple TV Launch.

That would make more sense considering Apple usually release products on a Friday, however I'm not sure we will get to pre-order it may be that Apple doesn't have enough stock to take pre-orders.

I agree, at this point there's been no reason to expect a pre-order.

Still hoping for one, but no longer expecting one.

Why wouldn't they let us pre order? They probably will let us pre order because they will do the same way as apple tv. Now don't ger negative just be positive i mean, i am refreshing the apple page like 100 times a dag (really) and i have been doing that for 2 weeks now, and i get frustrated if some rumours say : OOPS! Ipad pro delayed again... I really want to have it pre ordered so that i do not have to stress anymore...

If I'm Apple, and I know my first-wave iPad Pro availability is going to sell out right away (regardless of a pre-order or not), why would I waste my time setting up a pre-order?
