I’m with you on that!

A few years ago, the driver delivered packages to houses on my side of the street and then walked past my house with a box in hand going back to his truck. When I saw this, I ran out of the house, called for him and asked if the box in his hand was for me.

You should have seen the look on his face! This was 2 years ago for the iPhone launch. He tried to give me some sorry excuse “Oh, I just saw some little girl almost get run over by a car.” Yeah right, like anyone would believe that.

Anyway, I hope your drive drops off your MBP soon! 🙏
That actually just happened to me. They had come through my street and then didn’t stop. Then 5 mins later came back to drop off. Might of been a diff truck so I dunno!

It has arrived!!! Space Gray, 16" M1 Pro Max 32gb/32-core GPU, 2 TB SSD....currently its up in my office restoring from my Time Machine backup but I had to get these photos posted since we've all followed along together! Also, my polishing cloth is gray which was unexpected but welcomed.
Woo hoo! Congratulations! It’s so beautiful. I’m surprised the polishing cloth is grey. I thought it was white? Hope you enjoy your 💻
 
@svish I hope 2022, is going to be a big year! Friend, I’m hoping you upgrade your iPhone, new Apple Watch possibly new M2 💻 Getting you started already ;)

Even though, you live in India… I would love for your to join the pre-ordering thread. I can’t wait what’s to come in, 2022

📱 ⌚️ 💻
:D Am sensing the excitement in the forums but don't know when I will jump in 😁
 
Sheesh, with all of this hype about the polishing cloth, and since they are available at my Apple store, I'm placing an order for pickup this weekend. I have to drop of my 2nd trade-in, so I'll have a browse and see what other goodies are available.

I'm also looking at the new Touch ID keyboard with numbers pad. The description states that it is compatible with the new M1 MBPs which will be great since it will be docked most of the time. 🤩😁
I just got an ISPU in 3 hours....for the cloth 🤣

The new keyboard sounds nice. I got a space gray magic keyboard with number pad before it was discontinued. Touch ID would have been really nice to have, but so far, my watch is doing fine at unlocking and autofill functions...plus it matches my SG 16'er (2019).
 
For the folks like me who are expecting Oct 29 from FedEx with a 1:11 AM transit stamp in Shanghai (I'm in the Nov 3-5 with a BTO Max 16/32/2TB). Check out this curious flight which departed at 1:11 with no destination (as of typing this post). History suggests it goes straight to Memphis.


Update: FlightRadar indicates that the destination is Osaka, JP.

I have a feeling there will be a some movement forward with some deeper November / December pending orders. Lots of us are going the store route some to higher end models and plan to return our shipped items which in some cases might be delayed.

I wonder if you can buddy up. Meet someone who wants your config at an Apple Store, you return it and they buy it.

I already have the wireless keyboard with number pad, but I think that I’m going Apple crazy here. 🤣🤣 Come the weekend when I have to go in to trade in my Mini, I’m sure that I will be sane by then… Maybe?

I hope so, I’m one of those ones deep into December.

My BTO 14" M1 Max with 32c GPU, 1TB SSD and 32GB RAM has just shipped via UPS Worldwide Expedited so I expect it on Friday. Apple has always overestimated on delivery times on their website in my experience.

So excited, coming from a ThinkPad E590 with a dying battery!
My order also got shipped through UPS expedited last night and on Apple it shows arriving Nov 4th as well! On UPS it says expecting Nov 2nd. Hopefully you’re right about Friday deliveries!
 
Just got a shipping notification by apple… 🥳
(Original estimate Nov 3rd-8th, base 14“ upgraded with 96W charger)
UPS says it just left Shanghai… interesting that I can actually track it from China even though I am from Germany/Europe…

UPS says it’s supposed to be delivered Friday morning...which even happens to be my birthday…
so happy right now!🥳🥳🥳🥳

Just a little unfortunate that this morning I decided to schedule work for Friday morning… 🙈 oh well…
just need to explain to my parents that one of them needs to be ready to answer the door bell in 10-20 seconds at any time…

(I just hope our local „airport“ works this time unlike for the Apple Watch when the watch almost missed the delivery truck because the plane was late… I actually suspect the delivery truck waited for that plane because my watch was registered for only 3min at the UPS hub by the airport…)
 
My 16" M1 Max - BTO (1TB, 64 GB unified memory) is slated to arrive Nov 29 - Dec 6. I was trying to get a pre-order in but couldn't get ID.me to work at that time.

On Oct. 20 I placed my order when I discovered that ID.me was working with Apple configurator. I saved 10% using ID.me plus 3% from using my Apple Card . My order status shows Order in Progress.

Questions:

Is anyone concerned about late shipments or changes in shipping dates?



I will scope out Denver/Boulder Apple stores but probably hard to find my config.I expected huge demand for finally updated MBP Pro's but Apple is usually good at meeting shipment dates.

Following this thread causes MBP envy, lol - all these pics of glistening new 14" & 16" pristine arrivals.

I am sad, so sad.

YAY! And Happy birthday to you this Friday. 🎂 Anyway to ditch work this Friday and reschedule for one day next week?
