MacDailyNews Take: Yet another reason to buy the Apple Watch Ultra, albeit an exceedingly minor one.

Did everyone else get long Ultra ship times? I think I ordered mine within 30-60 minutes of the AppleStore going live, but Oct 20 is as soon as I might see it. Just wondering if that was true for those who clicked faster.

The Ultra, right? Did you order with haste? Seems unusual I got this “far out” delivery window in California when my confirmation email says 11:43. That can’t have been that long after the AppleStore opened up again right?
Just ordered the regular 8 for my son and he’ll get his next week.
Puzzled by the supply issues here or what has delayed mine so long… 🤷🏻♂️
September 29. But Apple sometimes ships a bit early
Well now that Apple has established that (1) braided recharge cords are superior than the junk cords they’ve been selling, and (2) they know how to make them, I guess they might want to discontinue the old kind and include these with ALL their products, as well as sell them separately.
My original Apple Watch 0 charger is in daily use without issue for 7+ years.
