New 2017 iPad Pro Models Now Available in Apple Stores

[agsystems]

No 12.9" 256gb cellular models in stock anywhere, according to istocknow. Saves me an impulse buy, at least for now.

Depends where - looks like they have plenty in NY stores

I think I may pick up the 10.5 WIFI 64GB and test it out compared with my Air 2 and if I think its worth the upgrade I'll keep it or else return it. Really curious and excited to see this product come out.

Would like feedback from people like you.

Why in the heck would they make the bezels smaller? The existing iPad bezels were already kind of hard to hold onto without covering the screen. Now it's going to be even harder.

I don't get the hate on bezels, especially in this forum. You need to be able to HOLD your devices; it's nice to be able to without your fingers covering the screen.

I’m with you. Does who keep screaming for thinner bezels don’t know what they want.
The Samsung S8 is freaking ugly with that curved screen.

Preordered 12.9/256 from Best Buy. Everything was all "get it on June 13th with in-store pickup!"

Just got an email that there's a problem with my order and there aren't any in stock within 250 miles.

Good planning you idiots.

Got the same email this morning, but I called and they said they already have a tracking number - UPS Next Day Air. should still see it this week (maybe even tomorrow). Tracking number isn't pulling anything up yet, but soon.

I still have an iPad 4 and I can't find a use for it.

I know, Ive got so many ipads and that I dont know what to do with them either. Apple continue to release ipads and I have to buy them all.

:/

Pre-ordered from Best Buy, it appears they aren't going to have it today and haven't even given me an email notification or any other form of contact. Looks like I'll be making a trip to the Apple Store.

Leave it to BB to do something like that, AGAIN! They did the same thing when the iPhone 7 came out. But wound up getting $100 for the "inconvenience" of having to wait.

The new 2017 12.9" iPad Pro is actually lighter than the previous version. It is 36g lighter (713g - 677g).

Yeah, I'm going to call and complain. They shouldn't have taken pre-orders that were promised to be available for pickup today. It's not that hard...you have 30 units allotted for XYZ store, you promise the first 30 orders a June 13 pickup...orders 31+ are TBD.

If there was any doubt the delivery would occur first thing on the 13th, don't promise a date.

Boneheads.

I been waiting for an update to the 12.9in before jumping into the larger size, but I prefer to wait till iOS 11 comes... gonna be hard to wait.

Fml my small city Apple Store says the 12.9inch won't be here till the 29th ???

The store I went to is the NYC flagship, they had them since midnight. I took one look at the 10.5 and went straight for the 12.9.

Hope the stock changes for you and everyone who wants a 12.9 before the quoted date.

 

[satchmo]

In a way, I feel like Apple is selling short the benefits of these new iPads since they don't yet come with iOS 11...

The problem will be Apple retail store employees trying to help potential buyers visualize iOS 11 benefits...especially multi-touch drag and drop, and the new file system.

I guess that's what happens when you don't have iPad's launching in the fall after WWDC.

 

[coolbreeze]

Got a $30 gift card out of it. Whatever.

That's typical with Apple. They always push out the date by a few days to a week or two. That way no one can accuse them of 'delays' as they would if they said the 14th and it was the 29th. Plus who knows if every store is getting shipments at the same time. Perhaps your store is a few days later than others.

Why didn't you guys just pre-order from Apple????

I've been an iPad skeptic for a long time, but this time with (somewhat) more desktop-like OS, better pencil support, smaller bezels, and 120 Hz screen, couldn't really resist. They've done a good job

Looking forward to trying one out with iOS11 on it, in the fall.

 

[Larry The L]

Pretty sure they'll be out of stock tomorrow.

Just called my local store. They have plenty for the next 5 days. So, you don't have to worry.

OK. There are loads of web sites that can help you find a use for your iPad. Didn't you have a use in mind when you purchased it?

This post reminds me of that girl from the commercial for some reason!

Definitely considering trading in my Mini for one of these. I'll have to check them out in store to know which size I like. I'd probably get a keyboard case, pencil & SD card reader. I'm getting into photography & maybe a little drawing. Probably won't get into anything professionally (would be nice, though), but it's a nice creative outlet.

 

[YMark]

10.5 inch iPad Pro looks really tempting,it will be solid upgrade from iPad Mini.

My thoughts exactly. I ordered one for my wife to replace her Mini 2. She no longer uses her Macbook, so the larger screen will be a nice improvement over the Mini.

I have a cellular iPad mini. When I upgraded from the Mini 2 to a Mini 4, AT&T accepted my old one as credit. Forgot how much they gave me, but $100+ I think. I also asked the people at Apple, and they'd give credit as well, depending what condition it's in.

I got my 10.5 in the mail today, i'm a happy camper.

Works great but i didn't have time to use the pencil yet.

There goes resale value.

Fricken' lazers.

Why didn't you guys just pre-order from Apple????

Apple Pencil was $94 (picked that up the same day)
iPad Pro came with $50 giftcard (should be delivered tomorrow)

Not that I was trying to be cheap, but that basically pays for the keyboard.

Showed "receive by June 13th" on the page. Called and confirmed the iPad is coming, just a day late.

 

[Yebubbleman]

Anyone have an educated estimation as to how long the 9.7" Pro might be in Apple Stores before they're all gone?
