They keep moving my dates up!!!!!! Yay!!!!!!
 
@rawweb Any updates on the expected delivery date? The last I recall, it was still in/left Anchorage.
It made it to Kentucky early this morning just after 3 am! It arrived in Michigan just after 6 am. It didn’t come to my nearby international airport, instead, about an hour or so away. Either way it arrived at a local processing center probably by truck in the 9am hour. It alleges to be here Monday before 7pm. Bummed I couldn’t have it on the weekend for setup and fun. Now I have to find excuses to stay home from work so I can wait by the front door all day like a little excited puppy dog 🐶.

Let’s see…

UM, boss, I need to work remotely today - or - need to take today as PTO. Do these work? 😁
 
Data point for those tradiing in their old Macs to Apple:
Had an extremely positive/as-expected experience with the trade-in process. I ordered my 14" M1 Max on the 18th, and received it along with the trade-in kit on 11/3 (Apple had an estimated 11/5-11/10 delivery window). I received a $620 offer for my 2016 15" Touchbar MBP, and had the service warning for my battery, and with the saturated market of MBPs out there (seriously, how does ANYONE sell one on Marketplace or Offerup without taking a major hit), trade-in seemed the best way to get rid of it.
The trade-in kit came with a bubble-wrapped baggy to put accessories in-- don't fall for it. The trade-in never asked for the charger or cable so I tossed the baggie out. Wiped my MBP as suggested, and took off my carbon fiber vinyl. Also took a bunch of pictures just in case, after reading all the horror stories.
Sent off my MBP on 11/5, Apple received it (enroute to Elk Grove/Returns facility) on 11/8, and I got my trade-in credit (refunded to my Apple credit balance) on 11/10. SUPER quick turnaround, and no horror stories to tell.

The 14" M1 Max is a beast-- I still have an M1Air that I'm debating on keeping or selling. I'm leaning on keeping it as the ultimate travel notebook and not lugging around a 3K machine. Honestly, if the M1Air had native capability to drive two monitors I could have probably done without the Pro, but oh well!
Apple’s trade in offer for the M1 Air has dropped to $590. Like do they really need another $30 by deflating the value of a 6 month old computer? This has pushed my anger buttons!
 
People are reporting them, problem is new bugs keep appearing, apple has a list of which bugs need addressing first.

My DND hasn't been working properly since I jumped on the iOS 15 beta train on day 1. 😔

Maybe they should skip yearly software releases 🤔 focus on improving the software instead.

Absolutely agree! Their decision to release a major new OS at the same time they launched a majorly upgraded MacBook Pro is on the edge of crazy!

Wow, depreciation is no joke. The real kicker is that Apple will list it on their refurb site for almost double of what they are offering for your trade-in. I know that you are not happy, but there are other sites that might pay more. These are a few sites that have been mentioned in the forums in the past:

Macmeanoffer.com, sellyourmac.com, cashforyourmac.com, and gazelle.com.

Ahh, what a long and tiring journey. It's ok 1 more day for you. Do you see an import scan being occurred?
 
You’re supposed to scold me! Tell me I’m allowed home for dinner and beat me with chopsticks 😂😂

And it’s actually gold but it doesn’t look like it in this photo?
