As I said before this is primarily all on . Last Wednesday .. I had went to 2 AT&T stores as well as chatted with 2 AT&T reps online and each one had conflicted reports. But one AT&T store I had left my number to contact me when they had one available. I left out of town late Thursday and Friday morning.. I gotta call that they had it available, but only ONE was shipped to them. Since I was already gone... I missed my chance.

But when I arrived to my destination... I checked quite a few times for the nearby  Store stock, and around 11am... Availability appeared. I immediately reserved one... About an hr later my friend told me to check if they had more, but the model was already out of stock.

I think relying on AT&T won't get you far, but I do understand if you want to do the financing & not want to pay upfront cost. But if anything try to see if you can leave your contact info at all those 3 stores in hopes they will contact you when shipment comes. It seems  is only shipping very few models.

I'm in Los Angeles, and several (Silver and Gold) AT&T stores had stock. Tried to order online to pick up in store, but wouldn't let me due to my pending order.

Is your pending order shipping now? Or is it still being processed? I gotten the Space Gray model... Don't like the white bezels when watching a video.
 
My Space Gray model is still "In Progress".... ordered at 11/11/2015 at 6:05:11 PM EST, with
Estimated ship dates:
November 25, 2015 - December 3, 2015
 
I'll tell you guys, I looked at inventory in our entire market.... One store got 1 gold iPad. That was it. Over 50 stores and only one iPad pro.
Mine is due in Wednesday.
 
I'm a teacher also. What do you teach?

I teach undergraduate courses in social work. I've been waiting for a bigger screen with 2 screen view so I can grade my papers via online submission faster. My present system I use through my university does not allow on screen editing of a paper.

It looks like Apple made priority shipment to Apple stores on this one. I'm seeing all models in stock at my local Apple Store here in Cleveland, OH area. Still nothing at AT&T. the wild card I would love to know about is whether or not Best Buy got a shipment.
 
I just want mine by then so I can have an iPad. I gave my air 2 to my son since they watch Netflix a lot. I can't wait to use this for my classes I lecture. Plus grading papers will be so much easier with the use of the pencil.
i did purchase a iPad mini 4 when it was released. So I guess it will have to satisfy my needs while I wait. I was hoping to use it for work. I see it is a little lighter than my Surface Pro 3. I was thinking it should be a little lighter to carry around but since I won't have the smart keyboard. I will be waiting until Christmas before my true plans unfold.

Sure! I had the urge to pick up that Nimbus game controller.. Been meaning to pick one up when the  TV launched.

Beautiful!

I wish there was a clear, minimalist back cover. Never been a fan of the Apple covers (the back ones). If I can find one of those with a nice sleeve, I would be set.

Yeah, I don't plan on buying a back case... Just the cover for standing it up. Definitely not buying  Keyboard case... I think they are asking too much for it. I plan on buying a standalone keyboard.

But yeah.. I do plan on getting nice sleeve to protect the back since I won't be buying one.

Just getting a clear back from Amazon for now until I decide on a sleeve. I'm leaning towards the Joli one. They look really nice. Just can't decide on smooth or textured. Probably will go with the textured black/aqua.
 
Ordered was finalized at 3:15am est for space grey and mine is still processing. 11/25-12/3 is when they say it will ship. Knowing att I will assume it will ship next week because they always give exaggerated shipping dates on Apple products

They're not exaggerating mine, they may miss the window they gave me.
 
Thanks for the heads up guys! I was able to find the tracking and it shows:

Apple 128GB COMPUTER Preparing to Ship We're preparing to ship your item, and it will be sent to you on or between the shipping dates we've provided. 11/25/15 - 12/03/15* . I really hope that's not accurate though since I preordered :(. Like others said, I really wanted to show this thing off to the family on Thanksgiving ^_^ (with or without the Apple Pencil).

Did anyone else attempt to pre-order a Pencil from Staples?

How is the nimbus controller? I've been thinking about getting one as well. Are there many games you can use it for? Maybe I can avoid buying a Xbox after buying the iPP.

Nimbus is an excellent controller!! I love the recharging ability via the Apple cord. It recharges fast. Is responsive just like an Xbox controller.

I've got 9 games already on the iPP for MFi support... Works perfectly. I was thinking about getting the Xbox, but the iPP is a wonderful gaming experience.

Now, I do understand that the Xbox is a better gaming experience.. But you should definitely get the controller, goes well with the iPP.

Thank you. i'm not a big gamer and I still have only a playstation 3. That I gave to my 7 year old. So I know its time to upgrade. I will be getting a Apple tv so i thought it would be good for both.
