Yeah, I really don't want to wait that long either. It was preparing to ship, but with the same dates you have listed. Are they really overly generous on orders in general? I hope so. Would love to see my iPad Pro next week.
Got a tip for us?

I do know when I was preordering it gave me option to check stock availability.. But that was around 5am. And it didn't show any available. But then I tried later on to go back to that same page... It wouldn't let me. But the way Apple has handled this iPad Pro launch, there's no telling what AT&T will be.
But I'll let you know any finding.. I do plan on going up to a nearby AT&T Store instead of calling. It's an hour before they open.
Typically they are overly generous, yes. I ordered an Air 2 last year, I remember it coming the next day despite having a week or more lead time on the estimate.
Recently my friend ordered his 6s+ on ATT.com, quoted about 2-3 weeks, shipped within 3 days.
Their shipping time frames are usually meaningless.
Has anyone gone into a store yet to purchase? I work at att and I just got into work. Currently no stock. But our shipments haven't come in yet today.
Does anyone have any information on the iPad Pro with AT&T Next? It's my understanding that so far almost all of the iPads that have the LTE option have been available on AT&T Next and it seems that the PRO would be no exception, but I have seen literally no information on this. I know it'd probably mean that it wouldn't be available right at launch, but I'm willing to wait a little while if it means getting the iPad Pro with the monthly payment and option to upgrade when the new iPad Pro 2 eventually comes out (with 3D touch I presume).
Anyone with info on this let me knowI don't even care so much for the LTE option, but I definitely want the 128GB Model and having LTE as a fall-back is always nice.
the thing I found this morning is that when I was going to upgrade my current iPad Air 2 to iPad pro, (I already paid 11 of 20 installments and I expected I have to pay only $36 (12th) to be eligible to upgrade like I did for my iPhone), BUT I was asked to to pay off the whole remaining balance (around $328)
I chat with a representative, and she told me that there is not AT&T Next plan for tablets actually!!!
So, What is the benefit of these installment plan??? nothing!
Well.. I'm awaiting for the store to be open in my area. Does stock normally show up when the store open?
Just found out that AT&T will officially sell the iPad Pro on Friday.
The AT&T rep in store told me they didn't have any in stock. But I got the rep card & I provided him my number just in case stock does come before Friday.. So, I'll shall see
Att stores can order today. Some can expect to have devices on hand on Friday. These will be the larger stores, stores of the future and their top tier busy locations. Ship times if you order are the same as online the come from same stock whether done in store or online.
For the iPad mini 4 launch att didn't see stock on store for almost two weeks after its official launch date.
I know it's already been stated, but according to our system information at ATT, we will not get inventory until Friday.
Ship times are the same as store availability? So the Space Gray model has a ship date of the 25th... That's when it will be available in stores?
I think the Mini 4 is different in comparison to the Pro reason being there's much hype build up for it. Mini 4 wasn't much talked about it. I've been to two AT&T stores... One did mention that they will have stock on Friday, it's a company store.. Gets fairly busy. But the other one that is known to be busy... Doesn't even know when they will get stock.
I went ahead and ordered mine through direct fulfillment. Ships within 3-5 days which means they have inventory of the one I ordered. Did the silver so it'll match my phone lol. Space gray had a bit of a wait. Already got the preparing for shipment text. Anyone else order from AT&T yet?
I want the Space Gray.. And there's a wait time. So, I'm going to take my chances at AT&T stores. Plus, I tried to go thru the preorder process... And since I'm under premier somehow there's a error processing the order.
Have you got your shipment date?
Yes they are. At least with my last 3 iPhone and 1 Galaxy note 3 purchase. The device always came earlier than quoted.
Yep. I called the store in my area. They couldn't tell me any info. They said I could come in and purchase the iPP now. Get it Friday and maybe buy a keyboard. If they had one available.
I just went ahead and ordered one this morning and I'm hoping it'll go out tonight or tomorrow morning.
The benefit is to not pay for the tablet up front and gives consumers the ability to finance over 20 months. Tablet installment plans are entirely different than phones.the thing I found this morning is that when I was going to upgrade my current iPad Air 2 to iPad pro, (I already paid 11 of 20 installments and I expected I have to pay only $36 (12th) to be eligible to upgrade like I did for my iPhone), BUT I was asked to to pay off the whole remaining balance (around $328)

I wasn't told that. If I could order it in store and have it available on Friday, that would be cool. But I just was told that it'll be available on Friday. So, it's no biggie.
Friday will be here before we know it.
I think the user issue is that he was under the idea that AT&T Next for the tablet was the same as the smartphones.
But it's different due to that smartphones are much more valuable to carriers & manufactures... It's even more valuable to customers as well. Although carriers have installment plans for tablets does not apply the same practice as smartphones.
