Ok, so I'm not the only one. Ordered the 16" M1 Max 64GB 4TB SSD. I ordered it later than 15 min after the keynote, but got the Nov 17-19 delivery and been in "Processing" ever since. I wonder if it's the configuration?

All Pro Max chips are facing major delays. Plenty of the people are with you on the same boat, Hopefully movement occurs for you soon.

Thank you for sharing it. How come the reviews are meh?

I only keyed off it because one rather vocal gentleman here has been heaping praises on it...Yes, I'm deflecting...🤣

I can see that this would be an issue for a lot of people. I think someone said earlier that the best way to remove the MagSafe was to disconnect with a side or down angle but not straight out. This is going to be interesting.

That's how I usually remove my MagSafe. Carefully push it down and remove it.

Mine just moved up to Dec 13-Dec 20.

But was it early or late?

Original time frame was same as yours. Ordered Saturday. Time changed earlier today.

I’ve got the iPad. But again. I don’t find myself using it much. Weird.

It makes a great second monitor while working in cafes...

CultofMac has posted a good article about
MagSafe! Check it out.

Apple spoils the one thing that made MacBook's MagSafe charger so great

Apple brought back the MagSafe charger for its newest MacBook Pro models — much to the delight of long-time fans who have appreciated the proprietary

They just took a highly downvoted post from reddit and made a useless article out of it lmao. Everyone on the reddit post already commented why he's wrong and his testing was not accurate.

I actually pull the cable up to remove it, but someone walking into the cable would usually drag it sideways where it still releases without too much resistance.

Damn, I'm surprised by how many people haven't used MagSafe before. Be rough with it, that's what it is for lol, no need to be careful. It's rugged, it'll be fine.

Due to a pre-order issue with Apple my order weas placed on Oct. 20th. Same config as yours except I opted for
1 TB/64GB. Shipping dates 11/29 to 12/6 - been "processing" ever since.

It takes 3 weeks for custom configuration built in China, then figure in shipping delays, clearing customs, getting to final mile, etc.

Honestly I have no idea what Apple is doing, such a screwy pre-order.

Correct 😁 I almost ripped out the whole port trying to get it out the first time. 🤦‍♂️😬😂

Rather vocal "down under"?

 

[orangesauce]

Yeah, ok buddy, sure.

You haven’t taken your eyes off that beast since you started using it. No need to thank me, glad you’re happy. 😊

When is Esla making a appreance on car wow? Porsche 911 Turbo S 🥰 10 second qtr mile stock beast. 👌 shame about the price though. 🥺

Looks like my old ride from a few years back. Much slower, of course...

That sounds painful. But the magnets are way too strong though.

Up or down, they both work ?

It’s probably the chip shortage. That’s the biggest factor

Beautiful car 👌

Don’t think I’ll be buying one of these 10 seconds qtr mile beast anytime soon 👇😳

Ooops! Well, I was trying to help people save money in case they do go down that road.😬 I won't be getting one.

I did just get the Belkin MagSafe car vent holder (cause of my 13PM), and now I lost $7 on this sale. I also am getting off the wireless charging for the 13PM...going back to the 5W lighting cable charger. My 13PM is also at 99% battery health from launch day and I've been taking it easy on plugging it in...had a Mophie wireless pad for nightstand charging while I sleep - no more!

LOL!!!! No worries. 😊 I’m getting better at resisting temptation. 🤣 I understand that many really like Belkin products, but I think that they are overpriced for what they offer and the reviews are really a mixed bag.

Anyway, kudos for the tip and helping people save money. At this point, I’m on an allowance. 😁

But when ordering Apple provides shipping dates - if due to the chip shortage they should be more honest with customers. Before product release Apple said they were not having issues with SOC's due to priority with TSMC.

I agree with you. Have you been in touch with Apple customer relations department? At the Apple corporate?

Out here an 8 second ride is on a bull!

I feel like so many hours and days have passed where I contact Apple and get read the scripts. Even the management team could or did do nothing. I find it quite vexing - been going on for 3 weeks now with no solid answers. I really appreciate your help & support.
