They might be available in US stores. Here in Italy there hasn't been a phone or watch shown as available in-store since launch. I'm betting the same will be true for the MBP. We don't ever see in-store launch day availability. Just a different logistical setup here I guess as we have about 10 Apple stores throughout the country. The lack of in-store availability is one of the few things I miss from the States since moving here 8 years ago.
Got a tip for us?

My mistake. I’m saying based on those who ordered on “pre-order” day (first hour or so). Though I’ve seen some people with late October to first first week of November moving up.
She is not allowed to purchase more than one in order to make up her mind!!!!!
It makes sense now. I see you securing all the bases. I have a feeling they will be available during the launch date. Don’t think you will be waiting for that long for you Mac to arrive.
Thank you for sharing. Appreciate the info.
That’s right. It’s unfair to the other people who are waiting in line, like us lunatics in this thread.
I ordered immediately after the presentation. Free shipping.
Join the club. My late-2016 MBP died in May. I was hoping the June/July rumors would come true, but no dice.
Today I learned the hard way not to get too over-confident in shipping dates!
Launch day I ordered an M1 Pro 16” with a delivery date of Nov 5-10. After a few hours I decided to re-order and upgrade to the M1 Max 16” with a delivery date of Nov 17-23.
The M1 Pro was slated for Nov 5-10 delivery so I decided to hold onto my order until reviews came out on Monday so I could see real world use and determine if the M1 Max would be overkill.
Today the M1 Pro moved to “Preparing to Ship” (to Canada). I contacted Apple but it was too late to cancel the order. They have contact the shipper and asked for it to be returned.
Just wanted to share my experience! Haven’t finished reading through this thread today so not sure if others are experiencing this. I definitely feel quite environmentally wasteful.

I suspect Monday is going to be a very hectic day in here!
Mine is with the Narita, Japan group. Destination is Minneapolis, Minnesota USA. Glad to be seeing some progress, hopefully everyone sees some soon.
Lucky! Happy and safe travels. Keep us posted when you arrive to anchorage, Alaska.
Not to worry! Everything happens for a reason and with Apple it all works out just fine. Fingers are crossed 🤞 🍀
Mines still PFS according to Apple but I can see it on my UPS account that it’s left Japan. Don’t worry if it’s still PFS - it’s most likely enroute for 10/26
I'll be ordering mine around November 5, so I don't think I'll get my machine until late December or next year.

Thanks, Scrappy! I just went into UPS and logged into MY UPS. Didn't see anything. Perhaps not looking in the right place.
Um… actually I was talking about @TheYayAreaLiving’s Oops! moment with ordering multiple products to determine which one she wants before sending the other back to Apple.
I’m completely fine with wanting to re-assess in person and then initiating an exchange if you are not happy with the original purchase. When you consider the amount of money spent on these laptops and hopefully the 5 +/- years of ownership, you want to be and remain ecstatic with your purchase.
I don’t have anything in the UPS app yet, either.
Right, but there’s no reason that assessment can’t be done on the front end at a store rather than buying several and trekking to the store to return the unwanted ones. The enthusiasm here is fun, but no one is going to die if they get the new MBP on Day 3 instead of Day 1. And buying multiples means other people have to wait longer.
Who knows, by the time you are ready to order, maybe Apple will have your model in stock and you won’t have to wait for such a long delivery window. 🤞😁
UPS MyChoice don’t always show the shipments unless they match up your first name and last name, phone numbers etc with the shipment. Hiccups happen. I’m sure apple has shipped yours and will honor the delivery date as promised.
Apple's new 2021 MacBook Pro only comes with an HDMI 2.0 port which cannot output 4K at 120Hz on an external display
Even though Apple has finally improved the native connectivity of its all-new redesigned 2021 MacBook Pro, the included HDMI port is unfortunately not completely up to date, which results in certain limitations when connecting the laptop to an external display or monitor.
Both USB-C ports are Thunderbolt 4 which supports 120hz via Displayport connection. You just need a USB-c to displayport cable.
