Here’s the new leather sleeve. It smells oh so good. It’s from Mission Leather Co out of Dallas. No issues and the wait wasn’t long. Takes them about 5 days to put it together. Thanks Tim

Congrats! It's classy, elegant and very nice. It will protect your sleeve well :)
 
@julit0 you haven’t been on this thread lately… I know you are in my town Las Vegas, Nevada but don’t get left behind. ??

Did you visit the forum shops Apple store and check out the MacBook Pro?

OMG ? I have so much catching up to do with you all. I think Thursday (11/11) lunch was about the last I could keep up. Vegas is a whirlwind town! First two shots are from the Caesar’s Forum Apple store.
Get your Homepod Minis!

(Don’t know why this photo is not rotating) Apple store screen cleaning setup…no Polishing Cloths in store, and a couple of store employees seemed to not even know what I was asking for. The shame! Was trying to help a friend do ISPU for an AW7 - but none in stock either. I didn’t play with the M1 Pro MBPs for fear of wanting a 2nd one.

Saw Sting at his Residency concert at Caesar’s, got a nice run in along the Strip...lots of tasty drinks and food. Even some good luck ? at the ? ! I have tomorrow and Sunday to read all the fantastic pages I’ve missed! Happy weekend all - and I hope all our MBPs ship/deliver soon.

Wow! It looks like you’ve had a crazy fun few days. 😁 I miss Vegas, I haven’t been for the last few years, but I would attend 1-2 conferences per year there.

I am studiously ignoring your comments/pictures re hompod minis. 🤣 I will remain strong! Wonderful pictures.

Hope to have good news soon and will keep you updated. 🤞🙏😁 I’m exploring all options and reaching out to the powers that be.

Sounds like an amazing trip. Did you get to witness Gordon Ramsey screaming at anyone? Food l looks mouth watering. How was Sting?

Been to Vegas too much - every time I went I would fly home and have the flu! Attended Comdex and CES for ten year period from 2000-2010 & got to experience the best of Vegas, with penthouse hosted parties, etc. I'm not a gambler so for me I enjoyed the sights and people watching.
 
There’s a quite a few that got bumped into the exact same shipping window as you (11/12-19) which makes sense from a bulk customs clearance operation by UPS. Not defending anyone, but these are unprecedented times and air freight is the new “go-to” with sea-based shipping being backlogged so much. And if the Chinese government wants to take their own time to clear things for whatever their motivations are…it’s just a tough situation all around. Maybe Apple could have spread the courier duties better to FedEx and others to share the load, but it seems shipping delays are just an eventuality, no matter what commodity.

I’m betting all of the 11/12-19 units move out over the next few days. Best of Luck!
13 November and still not shipped..... Dates not changed as of today (13 November). Interesting that Apple do not inform you when expected shipping dates change. Amazon manages to do so and Microsoft too. But not Apple. Odd for a customer orientated company. Still we will see if they can still get it to me within their new dates. Not confident.

Ahhh, I have nothing to hide... it is what it is... don't laugh at me and don't judge me ☹️☹️
Well, it looks like my follow-up email that I sent to PicasoLab yesterday netted results. Checked the shipping status this morning and finally showing movement! Why there is a 10-day discrepancy, I have no idea. Hoping to receive my leather sleeve within the next few days.

Yay! Such an amazing trip. Woo hoo! Hope you enjoyed your stay in Vegas.

Food looks delicious!

Darn it, no Apple cloth. But I agree with you, Apple store employees are also lost 😂 I had to show them as well the cloth via an app for them to check the inventory 😂

Did you ended up going to the Resorts world?

I wonder what it was about Vegas that caused you to get sick? That was not a fun experience. 😔

I never truly gambled while in Vegas. Once my $20 was gone—slots, I was gone. I preferred to spend my money on restaurants and entertainment.

If I ever go back, I will not make the mistake of going in July again, the overhead misters were no help at all—day or night! But unfortunately I didn’t have a choice since my trip was work related.

Woo hoo! This is good news. Yes hopefully sometime next week it'll arrive?

I’m hoping so! The original shipping email that I received indicated priority 3-day shipping. Hoping it’s the same. Maybe by Wednesday next week.

When I left for my out of town yesterday, I faithfully wrapped the MBP in one of my bath sheets. 🤣 Made for a bulky transport, but I had it in its own bag so it wasn’t too bad.

I totally want GR to come out yelling at someone 🤣 they did have a t-shirt for sale at the pub “IT’S RAW!!”

Was seeing posts about iPhone camera/software processing issues. Haven’t noticed on mine. In fact the low light and zoom were fantastic at the concert last night. We were about 1/3 of the way back from the stage. Very nice, smaller venue setting. *edit: other photos/video isn’t uploading but from what I captures, I didn’t see any issues with my photos yet.

Unfortunately just no time to make it to Resorts World, but our next stay - maybe we’ll do there. Same for your Thai food reccos. We hit the road back to LA after lunch today. 😁

Ahhh! Wise decision on leaving today. Because tomorrow I-15 will be backed up. Everyone will be heading to California. Drive home safe :)
