My SG 128 was supposed to arrived today but USPS failed to deliver. Tracking info only shows that it was expected today but it never changed to "out for delivery" ... I was really expecting to play with it today ! Guess it will be tomorrow.

Has any body been able to buy the apple pencil ? And where have you get it? Apple Store in Miami don't have any.
Lincoln Road? Try the Best Buy or Apple Store in Aventura. They usually stock pretty well.
 
My pro finally shipped my date range was the 3rd they the 10th. They sent it USPS , my mini 4 was shipped that way and ended up in Guam let's hope the pro stays stateside

Just for point of reference purposes my iPad Pro shipped today. Ordered on 11/20 and estimated to ship between 12/7-12/14. Can't wait to finally get my hands on this device.

Due Saturday according to tracking we'll see
 
I ordered my iPad Pro on 11/30 with a ship date of 12/18-12/28 and I just got the shipping notice.
 
Order nov 27 128 space gray IPP ship date dec.18-27.
just got shipping confirmation it will arrive tomorrow Dec 11 overnight delivery from Fort Worth to Austin
 
My Pro shipped 10 days early. My shipping window was DEC 18TH TO DEC28TH. Did this happen to anyone else? Not boasting just curious.
Yes. I shipped about a week to two weeks earlier than quoted.

The quotes for people who ordered at the end of November seem to be overextended since most early preorders seemed to be shipping in the date window given.

Seems supply to AT&T is increasing in time for Christmas.

Spent the weekend with the pro I'm glad I tried it but its going back to AT&T really for two issues, I'm using it for movies and Comics and Magazines, for Mags the size is great but it is really too heavy in portrait to use for long. FOr videos I have a big issue with the Color gamut of the screen, it is really noticible that the screen, probably to accommodate the new tech is not as wide a gamut as the Ipad Air. Its about 80 percent of the Air 2 and its really noticible on Vids, not so much on Magazines. Having put up with the issue on the Mini 2 for so long I feel that even if its not quite as bad here, its bad enough for a $1000 device. I'l wait to see what apple comes up with for an Ipad Air 3, I'm tempted to try out the Samsung TabS2 , but the horrible battery life is keeping me from the better screen.

I doubt Apple does a lot with the iPad Air 3 mainly to keep the iPad Pro at the value it's set.

But disappointing to see you having to return it, I'm definitely enjoying mine... Can't see myself going to a smaller screen after a month of use. I had my eye on the Tab S2, but I just can't get past the lack luster tablet apps that Android has.
 
Hi everyone. I'm hoping to find the answers to a couple of questions here before I order my own though AT&T. My husband and I have an old Family Talk nation plan with Grandfathered Unlimted Data. I went to AT&T's site and I think I know what to do, but I want to make sure I'm choosing the right options.

I get the option to add a device to the account. It then asks me to confirm that I want to add the device to the existing Family Talk Nation plan. I confirm that and then I find the iPad Pro, choose my color, and then choose the $54 monthly for 20 months option. I then get to another window where it asks me select the number of lines I want to add to the Family Talk nation plan, and the only option I get is 1, which it then bumps the monthly payment up to $63.99. Am I doing that all right? Also, do I have to activate the cellular right away, or can hold off until I need it? Also, what about the insurance? I saw some members mention something about insurance being added in the total cost too.

Thank you all so much in advance, I just want to make sure I'm doing all of this correctly and not messing something up. :(

Yeah, 63.99 seems about right. You'll have to pay 9.99 and addition to the 54 to pay off the device. And since you'll be paying 9.99 monthly why not just activate it right away.

Now, regarding insurance.. I don't know what AT&T covers. You are given a one year warranty with Apple. I tend to hold off on AT&T insurance cause they really don't cover much.. But that's just my opinion.

I agree same issue, Great amoled screen hampered by mainly Phone apps

I'm going to have another go with it tonight I have another week or so to return it.

Thank you so much! How much data does that $9.99 give a month? (Unless I'm misunderstanding something lol).

It's tied to your Family Plan, but you mention you have a old Family Plan w/ unlimited data plan. So, I'm not sure how those old plans will work with adding a line. Perhaps, you have to add a separate data plan just for the iPad Pro line. So, you might have to choose your own data plan for that line... If the line your adding for the iPad Pro isn't tied to the unlimited data plan you have.

Because in recent cases... Adding a line regardless it's a smartphone or tablet line it is shared with the data plan on the entire account. unless with the old Family Plans you'll have to pay data separately for each line.

The plan we have basically is a pooled number of minutes with unlimited nights and weekends, and then $30 for each iPhone's unlimited data. So yeah, no shared pool of data there. My guess is the $9.99 fee won't really give me anything lol. Thanks so much for all of your help though. :)

I don't even know what you can even get for 9.99... Perhaps 250MB or something.

I had gotten mine from Apple & I'm with AT&T, but used T-Mobile data plan deal of 5GB for 10 bucks. But going thru AT&T gets it financed... I'd say get it financed, and if you want more data go through T-Mobile for the 5GB plan.
 
I ordered mine two days ago... the ship estimate says Jan 5-12. I noticed on the Apple website, if I ordered one, it'd ship in less than a week... so I'm hoping maybe it'll ship sooner. I wish I had ordered it two weeks ago. :)

I also ordered a Pencil, but did that on the Apple website. For that it says "ships in 4-5 weeks" so I guess it'll be a while for that.
