💻 👨‍💻 🌎 MacBook Pros 14-Inch and 16-Inch Pre-orders, Orders and Delivery Status Thread - USA & Other Countries (2021) 👩‍💻 💻 🌏

[chikorita157]

After like four days, my card has been finally charged just right now, which is on a Chase Freedom Flex card I opened early this month for the $200 sign up bonus. I ordered shortly after the presentation ended. The status will probably change soon from "Processing" soon. The delivery timeline is between November 3-5.

My config is the base model MacBook Pro 16 inch with 32 GB of RAM upgrade. I ordered a new carrying case since the old one only fits a 15" and DBrand skins. I didn't upgrade the SSD storage since I never fill up the internal SSD and external SSDs are cheaper despite being a bit slower. Most of the stuff is stored on the cloud or on my servers at home, which I have gigabit internet, so no need to pay more for internal SSD storage, especially how expensive the SSD upgrades are.

While I wait… Still wondering if we can use 120hz external displays with these new MBPs…

Good morning ya’ll,

I just woke up. Happy Saturday! It is October 23rd, 2021 06:35AM in Las Vegas, Nevada. It’s a little chilly in Las Vegas. Winter is right around the corner.

I just checked MyChoice UPS account and I don’t see any tracking number. I honestly don’t know what’s going on anymore. I also have other Apple products that are scheduled to arrive on October 26th, none of them received any movement. I was really hoping to see the new tracking number yesterday but it seems like that’s not what happened. However, I do know as long we are promised our launch date delivery day for our 💻 we will be getting it. No need to worry. It’s a possibility, Apple may overnight them into our homes.

Those of you that are up in the air and traveling right now. Congratulations! Happy and safe travels keep us posted

I hope everyone is going to have a good weekend. Hope you enjoy your weekend. Have a good day and take care.

Oddly enough, I used to get UPS My Choice tracking for my Apple pre-orders but stopped a few years ago.

You can, you just have to use USB-C

As long as these avoid the ports of California I am confident they will make it on time. 🤣

Typically it’s not too late to see a scan, even today, but at this point I’ll just have to put my faith in the good hear working folks at UPS.

I am beyond grateful these got released in late October vs November/December Christmas rush.

I agree! I’m beyond grateful too. I’m so glad we’re not waiting till November or December. Apple pushed them out right away. That was nice of them to do.

It shouldn’t have stopped. Because we were able to track our iPhones, Apple Watch just fine. Are you not able to login?

My delivery has been upgraded from [Oct 26 - Nov 2] to Oct 26.

Card fully charged. Preparing for shipment.

Sadly, no 6%.

Looks like many base 14” devices are still processing with a launch delivery date which probably means its sitting in some warehouse ready to go. Likely later today it’ll change to preparing to ship and be shipped tomorrow with Apple overnighting the devices for launch as per usual.

Dang! It looks like people who were promised a launch date delivery go 6% honored?

That’s what it seems like. I have a feeling Apple will most likely overnight them to us. They may have already been in the states.

My high-end (base) 16” is still sitting at processing. But it’s got Express delivery. So… perhaps Monday it gets charged and shipped.

That’s what I read yesterday… those lucky souls. I nearly applied for the Apple Card in preparation of the event but I already have an active zero interest card so I didn’t bother. Wish I had now… 😂

 

[TheYayAreaLiving 🎗️]

It really does look like a very solid upgrade. The track pad has slimmer down by a lot Tuesday, can’t come soon enough.

💻 16” model v/s 💻 15”

Also glad to see how the keyboard is flushed with the body. We don’t be dealing with dusk getting stuck under the keyboard.

Apple Card is the best credit card. It does offer great benefits especially when you shop at Apple. The cash back points system is very nice. For the future reference I would suggest you to apply for for it. You won’t regret it.

It’s a possibility. It is still unknown. I’m hoping to see some activity soon. This has been a very long week. It seems like the Apple event was a month ago.

Mbp 14” maxed out cpu/gpu 1tb ssd. Nov5-10 consistently since purchase. Ordered on launch day in first hour of launch.

Any orders from Germany?

I ordered the silver 14” with 32GB Ram and it showed 7-10 days till shipping. I was quiet late since I changed my mind about my config.
apple says it will be delivered by 3rd - 6th November. Still would be happy if it is earlier

I ordered the 14” with 1TB variant 5 minutes after the event finished. The date I got was and still is 10/26. However, it’s changed to “preparing to ship” two-three days ago and since then: nothing. I’m getting more and more nervous by the hour. It says “express shipping” for me, maybe that means it’ll ship on Sunday?

Yeah, in the My Choice section where tracking should show up there is nothing. The last time I got this kind of notification was 2017, not that there have been any issues with shipping just strange they stopped showing up.

It sounds like it may have to do something with your address. You have to get your address registered and verified. You may want to contact UPS technical support team and have them all set you up. Because that’s not normal. You should be able to see all the incoming or out going packages just fine.

 

[TheYayAreaLiving 🎗️]

@SloRide whats your status? Are you on your way to Japan?

Fingers are crossed we see some movement or anything at this point today or tomorrow. Even if it is set for a overnight delivery. We should still expect to see a scan.

I believe all external video is at 60 Hz.

It may not even be UPS planes. UPS probably has a limited amount of capacity to handle these shipments out of China. It wouldn’t shock me if Apple chartered planes from other cargo carriers and then will hand off the packages to UPS once they land in the US. Apple has certainly chartered cargo capacity in the past. These planes could come into US air hubs in the lower 48 or make the handoff in Anchorage, where most cargo flights stop to refuel.

Yes true, and in my case these express shipping stuff through Apple have been sometimes delivered through Fedex as well.

Hope so because it is now Saturday and I have not yet been moved over to “shipped”, nor does UPS my choice show anything….

This only fuels the excitement!

Yeah, my eggs on this been dispatched through US. Honestly, unless we see scans today, it'll be hard to get it to US from China by Tuesday. But fingers crossed.
