Thats the million dollar question. I maybe wrong but I'm going to assume its not a 12:00am PST launch. I'm going to get up at 6:00am CST my normal wake up time and hopefully place an order from my iPhone.

I think it will be tonight, but who knows. May just wait and see in the morning. If late, can just go to store when they are in.

Nope, plenty of stock for the Apple TV. Given the price and the pro audience I'd be surprised if you can't get one this weekend from an Apple store.

did apple tv sell out? i wouldnt have a problem with this ipad pro launch as long as i can pick it up this wkend no problem

Nah, not as far as I know. I think it's available everywhere now.
What you said sounds reasonable. It's been years since I've bought an iPad. Perhaps someone will share their more recent experience with the last iPad release.

After the republican debate so the politicians specially trump can pre-order.

This lack of a launch time, while completely a first world problem, is total BS. Why would they want to let down their biggest fans / early adopters? We're literally their ambassadors and free marketing. Kind of crappy that we're this close to "order" day and don't have a clue.

Never sell out.

Yeah....I am not understanding this at all. It is extremely inconvenient! I am torn as to whether or not I should wait up till midnight (PST)..... Blah.

I'm not staying up to check in the middle of the night. With a new iPhone or the Apple Watch it's a no brainer - but besides me I don't know one single person who's shown interest in or even discussed the iPad Pro (not including a forum dedicated to the topic.) I don't think Apple is expecting a worldwide global seller here - otherwise they would have told us an actual time to buy and a day they'd be available. They didn't do that for either. I'm betting it's going to be pretty drama-free getting ahold of these.

I really hope that you're right! It's been the same with me. Half the people i've spoken with don't really care about it at all, let alone want to pre order one

Honestly almost no one I talk to about it even knows about it - seriously.

Most people who want an iPad already have one. Even me - a HUGE Apple guy - wouldn't be getting an iPad Pro if not for the pressure sensitive Apple Pencil for illustrations. Take that away and I wouldn't get one - CERTAINLY wouldn't pre-order one.

I read a lot of PDFs on my ipad, and have been tracking rumors about this project for 2 years now. It's nice to see it finally materialize. I'm so excited!
