New Magic Keyboard for iPad Pro Now Available to Order, Deliveries Begin Next Week

[Patek_007]

My Magic arrived; 12.9 version! Using it to type rn!
Im going to be blunt:
- awesome, just a perfect keyboard. best apple keyboard I’ve used, upgrade from my Mac book air 2016.
- really robust.
- alright in the lap. Depends on the way u sit; sometimes it leans back and can possibly fall.
- Excellent gestures and many short cuts. Barely need to touch the screen.
- great for people on the go.

- Very hard to open. Especially with one hand, its near to impossible. I don’t know might just be me on my end.
- also to point out. It’s pretty heavy... and i mean heavy (i have the 12.9 inch).
- literally doubles the width of my iPad.
But to be honest it doesn’t effect me as much. The typing experience is the best I’ve ever had, coming from a steelseries mechanical apex pro keyboard, i love it this keyboard. I genuinely love it. For me it, along with the trackpad and the shortcuts/gestures defines the price for me. It might not for some people which is understandable, its not for everybody.
Idk - the keyboard might be a little too small of the 11inch. Still getting used to this coming form from a MacBook.

Also: this is random. But the smell out of the box was surreal. Maybe apple used their special iPerfume. 😝😂

Just woke up (20th here in the UK) and still no update or notification to say mine has shipped...

Still just says estimate is 20-22 April.

I’m starting to doubt it will ship before tomorrow

Any sign of anyone else’s orders shipping yet? @ahojfelixi ?

There’s literally 20 new unboxing videos up now on Youtube so people are really starting to get them now!!

In the same boat

which model did you order?

The 12.9” 2020 model, you?

Seems it’s only people in Asia and Australia that have received theirs so far (going purely on comments on here and YouTube)?

Yeah 12.9 here too. Maybe the stock isn’t as high for this model. Dunno if it’s worth contacting apple support to see what the hold up is but i guess they may not know anything.

I’m waiting and in that boat also but ordered the 11” model. I suspect they do have stock in the UK already but what with COVID it is just going to be slower.
Suspect it will go via DHL and arrive tomorrow - that’s how my iPad shipped and arrived.

So glad I ordered when it went live. This estimated shipping times now are all they way out onto May if you order now!

Hmmm I was thinking of contacting Apple too but might wait until tomorrow (if it hasn’t shipped) as it’s still within the 20-22 estimate?

Yes, totally understandable on timescales given the situation at the moment.

Just hoping it maybe makes some progress today?

 

[iJustines]

LOL.

Be honest, how many times have you rewatched this video since placing your order?

me: 5 times

It's still worse than a real laptop and folding up and down is just stupid.

@SimonMScott - I just checked in with Apple and it’s all on track. Still processing for me but they were able to confirm the stock is coming from a UK location

Oh nice! Did you phone them or @ahojfelixi ?

So did they say it’s shipping today or tomorrow or what courier they’re using?

Great news!

Yeah but still it’s been at the same stage for like 3 days now. If It was arriving tomorrow i imagine got a shipping notice by now.

just seen a delivery van outside and got up thinking maybe i was in for a surprise...guess not lol

Don’t think they can say much as we’re in the time window mention. It was via a chat and the UK stock point is nice to know.
I feel it is likely being dispatched now but done in batches based on where in the UK they’re headed. Hence why some are getting it moving sooner than others (us!)

You speak to somebody on apple support app?

Would think the stock is in UK as has to be really otherwise would be days late.

Hmm..sounds a lot like you say they’re doing it in batches?

Are most people in the UK whose orders have shipped within London (or south England) area?

I’m in Scotland so guessing mine will be last time ship at this rate! Haha.

I’m in London and has not shipped yet

 

[The Game 161]

Apple chat least said it’s been processed and will be here within the 20-22 timeframe. Hopefully a shipping notice by today.

 

[SimonMScott]

Another video here with some genuinely interesting pros and cons. It says it’s one tip but is actually about 4-5 tips:

And this one where he tries to do his own “advert” for the last 45 seconds! Ha!

 

[trashmac]

@SimonMScott @ahojfelixi I'm in London. I got my shipped notification about an hour ago. Delivery date is (supposedly) tomorrow.
Not sure if that reassures you at all... Hopefully it does.

 

[SimonMScott]

UPDATE: Shipped!

My Magic Trackpad has shipped and is “awaiting tracking information”.

I clicked through however and they are using DPD for the deliveries for all you UK guys. DPD site has no info through on it yet so it’s still just “estimated 20-22” so far but so happy it’s on its way!

Anyone else’s shipped? @ahojfelixi @The Game 161

Congrats

No luck here. Still on the same....Will be frustrating If there is no news by end of play today. Got to think they are doing it in batches though as mentioned.

@The Game 161 are you waiting for an 11” Keyboard to ship? I am -

wondering if they’re going through them 12.9 orders first 🤔

Waiting for 12.9 here. Which I thought maybe would be a longer delay with the 12.9
