Is anyone else getting a late shipping message on their order page?

[Craig]

Ah ok. That clears things up. I misunderstood what was being said. My bad

Yes, sorry... the iPad comes with the iPad, charger, cable & adapter only. The Pencil, Any Case, and Apple Care are all separate purchases. They break it down so it seems reasonable until it all adds up.

Apple Pencil (2nd Gen) $129
Apple Care $129
Apple iPad Pro 12.9 $1499.00
Apple Folio Smart Keyboard = $199
Tax (for Seattle) $171.83
Total $2146.83

It's in Kentucky as of an hour ago! Apple & UPS both updated their delivery to today, by 3pm (New Jersey time) :love-struck:

My iPad is scheduled for delivery (New Jersey) on Friday. It's currently in Taoyuan, Taiwan

 

[TechnologyTwitt]

It's Here! Setting up - will post more details later.

I got mine yesterday but couldn’t do anything with it since it was restoring from iCloud all night.

 

[TechnologyTwitt]

Quick update:

• I love it
• Restore from iCloud (50GB) took less than 5 minutes
• Email, Evernote, Security Cameras, Safari & Chrome, Notability all work really well

Mine was ‘scheduled’ for a 3pm delivery today... at 3:35 no sign of it yet.

Have to head to class so I posted up that pre-sign delivery form. Hope to return to my iPad waiting for me in a couple of hours!

Edit: It actually came the minute I was walking out the door to class. - you can bet I set it up while in Trusts & Estates haha

 

[TechnologyTwitt]

Biggest disappointment thus far?

USB-C cable that comes with it is WAY too short. :crying:

I could not restore from iCloud, it could either be the hotel Wifi is slow or Apple servers are taxed. I backed up my 10.5 Pro to my laptop and restored from that.

I come from the days of phone couplers and 300 baud modems.... Hotel's haven't improved much since those days. The speed is still the same. :nerd:

I get it, been in the computer biz since the 80s. Was the Systems Manager for Kinko's Corp, Ventura CA (main HQ), I specialized in the HP-3000 MPE/iX Operating System, that was mostly programmed in Cobol. Each computer was a large as a big fridge.

Wow, COBOL... now that’s a name I’ve not heard in a long time... just like FORTRAN, or DEC VAX systems...

I was working in the UK when Diana died, I was there on a joint project with Compaq and DEC to manage the HP9000s and the HP3000s for Glaxo. I specialized on performance and tuning especially Turbo Image databases.

I miss my VAX system!!

 

[Craig]

I miss my VAX system!!

Years ago for Kinko's Corp, I lived about 1-mile away from the main HQ, so they ran a line and hooked me up via ISND a dummy terminal at my home, so if any system crashed I could remote log into the system.. all command lines like login /user.manager.sys etc...

The exact reason I financed mine through Tmobile and set up for $5.99 monthly for apple care with apple. Bought the apple folio case 79.99 and Apple Pencil $129 from Best Buy. $229 down payment to Tmobile plus tax so that was like $300.

 

[Craig]

I would have got the pencil / case / etc.. through Best Buy, but they're OOS within 250 miles of here... after I scheduled the pre-order pick up. So Best Buy is not an option for me anywhere Seattle North.

However Apple is going to refund my tax paid, and that will knock $198 off the purchase price.

I don't like the monthly fees, would rather just pay.

If I got it I prefer to pay outright. Verizon just added PayPal so I just used their credit to get it. That works for me

 

[TechnologyTwitt]

I agree with Craig, I’ve done it both ways over the years and just prefer paying it off vs the recurring monthly fee. To each their own...

For me paying monthly is better. With att your monthly tablet bill is $10 for cellular plus the device payment. Unless you pay AppleCare in full, you are paying about $6 a month on the new iPads.

I’m still debating whether to keep my 10.5” iPad or go and get the new 12.9” one. Money wise it’s $20 more a month going from 512 to 1TB on the storage. Have to see what I can do with 6 gb of RAM vs 4. I can practically fill the 256 up with no problem. That’s why I have to get the 512. Let you know what I’m going to do.

Money wise I should just keep the 10.5” and forget about the new ones. Is 2.4” worth all the extra money? For me that seems to be the question.
