Fuss and muss is really problem. eBay fees are 10 percent too. Dealing with non-paying bidders and people who claim that they never got the shipment. So, selling it yourself becomes a less attractive solution when you go down that road.
Could someone please buy a 7 core GPU iMac? They are feeling left behind on launch day.
Well, that's another problem…
People hold onto their equipment for way too long and then complain when it has no value left. Traded in a 2018 iPad Pro for a new M1 iPad and got $450 off the price. New iPad Pro 256Gb is only costing me $500.
Well. That's Apple fault for making stuff that lasts too long
honestly, my iPad Air was still perfectly usable until 12.4 got installed. than it became unusable due to being slow
(not complaining as given the age and the added features over the years).
But just saying that if Apple wants more trade ins, than being competitive with some of it, even if it's a littl emore than "market value" would definitely help move more people to buy newer equipment, which would likely make up whatever revenues lost by the increase trade ins.
when a trade in doesn't even yield 5% of the replacement value of a new item, especially when that trade in is likely going to have more than the trade in worht of just scrap materials. they're undervaluing the trade in.
I had the same thing, and so did my mate. We both ordered in the first couple of minutes, both got estimated delivery of 21–27th May, and then both got seemingly-precise arrival dates of 27th May in our account order summary.
Obviously I’m hoping that’s just Apple being conservative with its predictions, and we still have a chance of delivery on 21st…

I’m having the same thought. My Apple TV order says June even though I ordered at 5am.
Same here. In my experience Apple under promise and over delivers. For instance my Airtag was to be delivered somewhere end of next week, but I just got the UPS update that it has already been send out.I had the same thing, and so did my mate.

Its not the weight its the dimensions. Just seems unwieldy to me for an on the move device..but to each's own.

Let hope this is another case of apple under promising and over delivering
. I am in the same situation. Ordered new Apple TV the second the site would allow me too and it now shows as delivering 27th May. Originally it said 21st-28th.I’m hoping I can find someone in my local circle that were already looking into buying a used one and giving them a slightly lower price than that.
I would have honestly, but I went with the 8 core GPU configuration to get the keyboard with TouchID and the yellow color. Plus it has additional ports and I upped RAM to 16GB for future proofing.
Congrats, that's fast for a custom order. I ordered the blue one with the same configuration (16GB ram, 1TB SSD) and mine's showing June 1-8.
Got an ATV 4K to replace the old 4K in the living room. Finally going to be able to replace the gen 3 in the kid’s room.
Just ordered the new Siri remote. My ATV 4K is doing well, no need to upgrade that yet.
Delivery window is currently May 24 - June 1.

I got the iPad Pro 12.9 1TB + cell (sold my 2020 version through Craigslist last week in a day).
I wanted to upgrade my two ATV 4Ks but I am waiting for reviews. If there is no picture quality improvements or pass through audio then there is no benefit to upgrade for us.
We only use it for streaming services and nothing else like gaming (we prefer gaming consoles). So LG is doing a good job for now and ATV is used only for apps not available on LG.

Ordered a Yellow 8-Core GPU iMac with 16GB RAM/1TB SSD + Magic Mouse/Trackpad. My first iMac ever!! Those delays with the buggy checkout were awful though, it kept removing from my cart, I added it back about 8 times before it went through. Delivery showing May 21-27 for me. I thought about the iPad, I have a 2018 12.9 iPad Pro and I just can't justify the upgrade yet for my use case. Same with the Apple TV, I already have the 4K so not enough new for me to justify that. I think my next purchase will be an upgrade for my MBP when those come out.
You’re better off keeping the iPad as a backup device if they’re going to lowball you like that.beats the $70 for my iPad Air
not even worth the shipping to get that
Keeping it as a backup/guest device is the way to go. Play some of the JackBox Party games on TV where everyone connects via tablets or phones and you can use it then. Those games are pretty fun.
