New MacBook Pros Now Starting to Ship to Customers Ahead of Tuesday Release

[MacRumors]

Ahead of a Tuesday release, the new 14-inch and 16-inch MacBook Pros are now starting to ship to customers who were lucky enough to get an early delivery date, as availability of the new Macs seemingly continues to be low.

The new 14-inch and 16-inch MacBook Pros ushered in a complete redesign to the product, the first since its controversial revamp in 2016. With the 2021 redesign, Apple has reintroduced ports to the MacBook Pro, such as HDMI and an SD card slot, and brought back MagSafe. The new MacBook Pros are also powered by the M1 Pro or M1 Max chips, the first Apple silicon chips designed for professional machines.

While the new MacBook Pros are now starting to ship to customers ahead of a Tuesday launch, those who have yet to place their orders or perhaps did so a little after pre-orders went live should prepare to face a long wait. For current Mac users not getting a new Mac this week, there is still something to look forward to as macOS Monterey launches on Monday, October 25.

Apple opened pre-orders for the completely redesigned MacBook Pros following its "Unleashed" event last week. Within minutes of pre-orders going live, delivery dates were already slipping by weeks and in some cases by over a month.. The 14-inch model, at the time of writing, displays at least 3-4 weeks for delivery, with all 16-inch models showing 4-5 weeks. Exact delivery date estimates will vary depending on location, configuration, and more.

Weeks ahead of the holiday season, a primetime for Apple, a number of the company's products continue to face long delivery dates. Models of the latest iPhone 13 and iPhone 13 Pro, and even the Apple Watch Series 7 are showing weeks for delivery, potentially impacting customers' holiday shopping plans.

I browse web a lot, answer a lot of emails, watch YouTube a lot, and edit one video in iMovie once or twice a year.

I hope I don’t regret not upgrading my Max from 32GB to 64GB.

Does anybody find the picture on the box attractive?

 

[TheYayAreaLiving 🎗️]

What! It’s getting close.

 

[Realityck]

I want to see all those first impressions of how these new MBP's work out and what configuration they choose.

 

[DesertDrummer]

Does anybody find the picture on the box attractive?

Looks good to me. Looks even better knowing what's inside.

 

[TheYayAreaLiving 🎗️]

Is anyone able to track the shipment?

Meanwhile, my MacBook Pro was delayed from 1-5 November to 5-10 November.

I'm waiting for the scratch and drop tests.

 

[richinaus]

I am looking forward to seeing all the anecdotal reviews of these laptops, when not really pushing them, and saying how amazing they are.
My testing will be all real life stuff with pro 3D apps, and will use live examples to compare with my current top end 16" and my 3080ti 16 Core AMD desktop. Should be interesting.

So the rumours of Apple trying to hide the notch in their marketing with dark color in that area was true.

It looks like old curled 35mm film that is now all but extinct.

Naah, I can see that notch in the photo on even my 2017 MBA screen. I am sure people on the later computers would certainly see the notch, with their better displays. Certainly in person on the box! They are not hiding it. Notch is their pride - started with the X and isn't dying anytime soon.

TBH, I really like the kind of retro-industrial design ?

[eno12]

Mine shows delivering on Nov 3-5. UPS app is showing an incoming shipment from AI (3.6 kgs) which left yesterday and arrives Oct 26! Sounds like Apple is ahead of schedule.

Mine moved from "Order Placed" to "Processing" ... $4,000 also disappeared from my Apple Card available balance.

I'm so jealous! I have the same Delivery Estimate. I'm assuming you're using UPS MyChoice?

 

[Wokis]

People awaiting their revolutionary MBPs and here I am waiting with them but just for a pair of AirPods 3

 

[grennis]

Incoming Windows laptops with notches in 3... 2... 1....

 

[eno12]

Yes. It showed up in MyChoice this morning even though it shipped yesterday. Really nice that FedEx, UPS, and USPS all have this service. Can see tracking info before most businesses post the tracking number.
