The iPad presentation on 5/7 said the new iPad Pros would be available next week. I ordered one (11”) and it won’t be available until 6-17 the earliest. That is 5 weeks! The larger iPad had the same arrival time. What gives? Anyone in the know?
iPad Pro (6th generation)
When you preorder, based on the time of your order you join a queue.
The later you wait, the further out the shipping date will be.

My husband ordered me the 1T with nano glass. Delivery was in June. I asked him to cancel it because I didn’t want the nano glass or and didn’t need the 1T storage. He reordered and went with the 512gb and the ship date changed to May 16th. I believe it has to do with which model you order.
I’m pretty sure it’s because the amount of people putting in orders. Just like with anything on release date, there is always a huge influx at the beginning because everyone has to have the newest and greatest. With everyone ordering, they are going to ship them in the order that the orders are received. So if you were to log in right away and be the first one to order then you would get yours right away. As the queue builds up, it’s going to be further and further out because they are going to have to fulfill all the orders that came in before yours. That date they give is when the first orders will be shipped out.

Which is why people buy lottery tickets.
I usually just imagine what I would do with one of those large jackpots when it gets mentioned in the news. All the fun but without spending money on a ticket.

One of my clients was the largest lottery management contractor in the US (at the time). Their favorite saying was “your chances of winning are about the same whether you buy a ticket or not."

Ha! I love it.
I had a friend who was less kind. He said lotteries were a tax on people who were bad at math.

Did you order with the nano-texture display? Shipping dates on those have been extended a bit.
Regardless, the delay may have something to do with the specific config in your order.

Yes, it has to do with how popular any given model is (as was noted earlier in this thread).
