Doesn't the Holiday return policy (US) go into effect now?
You might be right, but I can't find any info from Apple (or from a 3rd party source this year).

Yes... so I place an order for pickup. HOWEVER... the Apple Pencil is not available for pickup!!! WHAT!!!
Isn't that the whole point of this device? I'm going to go to the Apple store anyway (less than 5 miles from me) and see if they have one available. If not, that's a serious screw up on their part.
Well said and I admit that I fall into the consumer category and not the select few you referred to. I bought an iPad Pro because I wanted one and because I couldSteve jobs shot down the stylus when he introduced the iPhone. Stylus and phones are stupid.
iPads have always been about media consumption. They are great for reading books, watching videos or browsing web pages. The pro version takes the iPad one step further by making it a stellar device for creating content ( pencil for drawing or sketching notes; keyboard for typing documents; and powerful hardware to make it all work seemlisly)
Most people are consumers (iPad mini and iPad are are probably best for you; a select few will actually want/need the capabilities of the pro for creating.
Although most people could get away with an iPad Air (myself), we will see many people choosing a pro version just because they can. The MacBook line is a great example of this logic. A lot of people buy the pro version when they could easily get by with a MacBook Air.
I realize this post drift far from the original post. Sorry, I'm a fan boy. I will plug any defense whenever I can.
I just phoned them and they had them inWas it listed as not available for pickup and you just grabbed one in-store? I was worried that there might not even be any in stores at all today, Now I'm considering making it to the store opening.
If the supply is really limited it wouldn't be unusual for Apple to disable the pickup in store system.
Long enough that if you buy the device now you'll be out of return period by the time you get to try the Pencil. Which is clever on their part, I guess, but really annoying.

Thanks. I'm looking at the system and it's pretty clear they've disabled pick up in store for the Pencil entirely. I can't even find a way to look at Pencil stock for individual stores now. Maybe the stores will generally have them and Apple wants them to be available to walk-ins. Might be the same for the keyboard.
If that's the case, i'll walk into my local Apple store and see if i can get the Pencil alone. I'm waiting to get the iPad Pro from Tmobile this Friday.
