What size screen MacBook Pro (2021) did you order?

Dang...did you slip an AirTag on our car or something?! 😳 We got back home about 15 minutes before your post. Traffic was very smooth south to Barstow - but the Cajon Pass was a parking lot, and some gridlock on the 605. I've been checking on the wife's MBP - and so far, no changes (neither earlier nor later) and no charge yet on my Apple Card. So far, I'm hoping no news is good news and it'll get here during the original 11/30-12/07 promised dates. The order e-mail even lists "Express Delivery" - so I wonder if Apple Employees automatically get that on their orders.

@TheYayAreaLiving 🎗 - You are so incredibly thoughtful and considerate of ALL of our orders and posts, and how they are going...I'm still in disbelief on how you remain on top of all of this going on! I'm on page 503 and trying to catch up to everyone's postings. Getting some laughs and wows along the way - i can't skip any pages, you all are just too good.
Ahh, I just had a feeling that you were either on your way home or made it home already. Glad you didn't find much traffic.

Hopefully, you see some kind of movement with your MacBook Pro. We don't have too much of a wait left anymore.

This thread moves fast & thank you!!!! I appreciate it.

The beast is unleashed daily!!! It’s INCREDIBLE! Best MacBook Pro I’ve ever owned. It just stays quiet and flys through everything I do on it. 🥳🥳🥳

How about yours, how are you enjoying it??
Yes sir! So far so good. Barely charging the Mac. I'm a safari tab freak. So far it's been hanging it very well. I do miss the Touch Bar 😣

I had a love/hate relationship with the Touch Bar. For some things it was awesome and really really useful, and for others it just got in the way. The keyboard feels great though, right?!

I don’t even carry the charger with me around anymore, it runs through the day just fine.

Thanks was Trudy there at the show?
He mentioned Trudy but no. He spoke about her when he told the story about his "Fields of Gold" song...how they had sold their earlier place and bought another in the countryside. Then he called it a "Castle, really". Talked about how their Castle was only a couple miles due south of Stonehenge and they would take walks there and through the fields of Barley...hence the song.

I think schedule wise, he even though they are calling it his residency at Caesars, his tour is "My Songs" and this was his last weekend there in Vegas. So probably Trudy is chillaxing in their Castle...or on the beach somewheres.

That was a pretty spot-on article. They never should have changed the design in the 1st place. Now many of us have a drawer full of dongles that we no longer have a need for. Better late than never I suppose.
 
Sigh. My MBP (16 inch, M1Pro, 32 GB RAM, 1 TB HD) has also dropped into ZengZhou limbo. Originally scheduled for delivery Nov 17 per UPS, now showing as "Delivery date will be provided as soon as possible." Further detail "Your package is in transit. We're updating plans to schedule your delivery. The package will be forwarded to a UPS facility in the destination city." Oh, well... nothing I can do about it at this point.
🤬... same here. My order (16"/M1Max/32c/32GB/1TB, ordered on announcement day) was initially scheduled for tomorrow, 11/15, but as of last Friday has entered shipping purgatory as well.

This level of customer service/shipping updates would be mildly annoying for a $10 AMZ order, but for an item costing well over $4,000.00 (incl. tax and AC+), it is absolutely preposterous.
 
My order is not supposed to arrive til between nov 24th to dec 2nd..yet apple this morning sends me an email telling me my ability to add applecare is almost up..uh the order didnt even ship yet..should I just disregard it?

My daughter loves her Purple iPhone12 and now we're on the hunt for an English Lavender band to match...looks super good! Enjoy the 13P...almost looks Space Gray here. Congrats!

Thanks for the detailed reply!

Yes, ignore it. They are just default e-mails based on when you placed your order. It will all reset once it actually delivers.

When was your order placed? Mine (14"Pro/10/16/16GB/1TB) was 11/05 and have 11/30-12/06 delivery dates...I'm seeing others with later dates moving earlier and I checked the same spec'd MBP this morning...dates are 12/01-12/08 - so not really a change from an order placed 9 days ago. Shipping times look to be improving, but i think still on a first come/first served basis.

I agree! It also shows Apple is listening to the consumers. They do listen. I have a feeling with an upcoming software update many of the software bugs will be resolved.

Yes sir! The keyboard is amazing. I agree with you the Touch Bar was great and useful but at times it didn't find much of a use. I'm not too sure if Apple will bring it back.
 
Did you go for it?! Gonna look good with those Abyss Blue HomePod Minis. #teamblue
Hey mate 👋🥱☕️ Not yet, don't think I'll use the sleeve, forgot to ask you about the braided solo loop, since the thread got closed down, do they hold up well? color fade? they loosen over time?

Thinking of getting the abyss blue braided solo loop.

Didn't find it as comfortable as my solo loop and leather links band. 🤔

Flex game looked good though. 🤔
