For those on FDX90, keep in mind that there are delays in Memphis. Here's the ATIS (Automatic Terminal Information Service) info for right now in Memphis:
To translate: Information Romeo, taken at 2054Z (Zulu = GMT without DST, so this is at 4:54pm EDT). Winds northeast (040 at 6 knots), visibility 10, scattered clouds at 25000ft. Temperature and dewpoint are in C, so 21C/8C, barometer/altimeter is 29.97.
As you can see the runways in use (landing south, 18C, departing 18L, 18C, and 18R), and any obstructions. However, wake turbulence separation standards are in effect there, which is because all heavy aircraft (anything over a maximum takeoff weight of 300,000lbs) has to be laterally separated in the air at a further distance than any aircraft that has less than that. In this case, the separation for heavies is 5nm. All B767, B747, B777, A300, A310, A340, A350, DC10, MD10, or MD11 are considered Heavy.
Because of that, if they don't meet the window they had in departing RJBB, they'll not only be delayed in getting to KMEM, but they'll also catch any other delays that KMEM has. So I could see this getting in a good 1 hour after scheduled. Only thing anyone can do is wait and hope that the pilots catch a good tailwind. It's a B777, so they're ETOPS compliant; right ow, if anything happened, they'd have to turn back to Japan, but if all looks well, they'll enter the US about 40 miles west of Seattle/Vancouver.
BL.
Paperweight ? how dare you ? what do you use your windows machine for?
That’s great! Here’s to hoping it delivers sooner ?? I don’t mind the time though, am already used to late night deliveries with Apple, everything I have ordered has arrived at my doorstep past 10PM ?
Are you turning off True Tone for a more direct comparison? I feel like my iPhone display is cooler than my 14"'s display with TT enabled on both devices but they seem pretty comparable with it off. Granted, I don't have an iPad (Pro?) to compare against
Turn off the True Tone. And how do you know it’s warmer dude! Come on!
More like everyday but carry on. ??
Safari, YouTube, and other light tasks, have you decided on size and colour? specs? ??
Come on seriously lol 🤦♂️ that's the first thing I do with every apple product.
Maybe my eyes are still adapting to this new display. 🤔
You need eye drops, dude 💦
Incoming new thread comparing color tones of displays
I think this makes sense if you're going with one of the base configs. If you're doing any customization / BTO's beyond that, Apple Stores seem to very rarely get any of those in on launch day (except for a few of the "Ultimate" configs, fully-loaded, with 64gb memory etc.)
Pre-Covid, you could pre-order, but choose in-store pick-up. That's what I did with my Late-2016 MBP - and I way preferred that so you don't have to play the waiting game with delivery / carries. Was a bummer they didn't offer the in-store pick-up this year, presumably because of Covid, they didn't want so many people crowding into the stores on launch day.
Very informative! We need you for iPhone launches, please. I’m out here recruiting!! Your expertise will be appreciated by many!
Set up as new, I can't turn off iCloud Drive, I don't even use iCloud. ???
Keeps saying documents are uploading when I go to disable it in iCloud, then it freezes, have to force quit it. ?♂️
Ewww! I would hate that. I’m setting mine up as new.
How in the world your new Mac is freezing! It’s got M1 Pro!

I'll give it time, maybe my eyes are adapting to this new display.
Nothing lol. I use it for the occasional gaming but I have a PS5 for that now. Also just upgraded the graphics to a 980ti
Update:
I give up!
I just did an in store pickup for the same exact 14-in base config laptop because I am certain that UPS isn't coming today to deliver my laptop to me!

After a while on the phone with Apple support, it looks like there’s an amicable solution. Somehow UPS damaged the box to the point the contents are likely crushed. Evidently something heavy slid off a shelf and landed on my MBP. I had a BTO (14” M1 Max, 32G, 32 Core, 1TB). They were able to locate a similar configuration but with 2TB and are overnighting it to me at no extra charge. I can live with that. Oh yeah, using FEDEX. I insisted ?
My Mac is fine, every time I try to turn off iCloud Drive, iCloud freezes, have to force quit iCloud.
I would say that is an amicable solution yes
