Preorders began today for Apple’s new M1 iMac, M1 iPad Pro, and the next-gen Apple TV 4K through Apple’s online store.
Wesley Hilliard for AppleInsider:
Arrival dates are starting on May 21. These are expected to slip rapidly.
Apple made the purple iPhone 12 and AirTag available to order on April 23, and the initial orders ship to customers April 30. Some lucky customers received their orders days in advance.
Dates for these high-demand products will slip quickly. Deliveries will begin in the second half of May, with devices becoming available in-store on the same day.
It isn’t clear how many of each device will be available at retail. Stocks are expected to be limited.
MacDailyNews Take: Delivery dates for some products, notably the M1 iPad Pro, have already slipped after Apple’s online store experienced a rocky preorder session.
Ordered a new iMac. I didn’t have any issues ordering at 8 EST, but I forgot to select a color. Not going to change it now, ship dates have slipped quite a bit. 🙂
I don’t think they let you order unless you choose a colour. Perhaps you’ll get the default blue.
Yeah, exactly. I was paying attention to the specs and then realized afterwards that the first step was color selection. It defaults to blue.
Ordered an iPad Pro 12.9 and an Apple TV this morning at 5:00AM. Took a few minutes before I was able to add to the cart.
I ordered iPad Pro 12.9 1TB at 05:15 and it had slipped into mid June already.
11″ 1TB iPad Pro ordered at 5:05! Wish they could’ve squeezed an XDR in the smaller one but I think the regular screen’s brightness and colors are good enough for me.
Ordered my iPad 12.9. Apple pay wouldn’t work. Eventually just used Apple Card. ship times now late June – early July…
