QUOTE(zack.gap @ Apr 10 2020, 09:22 PM) These are the current local stores that are offering pre-orders for the 2020 iPad Pro's 1) Machines (pick up/free delivery, deposit RM300) - https://www.machines.com.my/collections/ipad-family2) Switch (pick up ONLY, deposit RM300) - https://switch.com.my/pre-order-your-ipad-pro/3) Mac City (pick up/free delivery, deposit RM 300) - https://maccity.com.my/ipad-proAll in all, due to the further extension of MCO till 28th April (and maybe even beyond that) it'll be faster to get delivery of 2020 iPad Pro if you order via Apple website. Historically local resellers will only get stock when 1st wave of Apple online store buyers get it. And good things is apple web can get free personalised name on it. Unless you plan to let go after some time but thats not the case for me.

Check out machine. Btw, don’t think the drop is 500. Probably 300 at most.

For those yet to get a case for their iPad Pro I'd strongly recommend the brand ESR. They're having a sale on Lazada today and you can stack up the 20% off coupon + free delivery! Mine is this ; https://s.lazada.com.my/s.0gXufI choose it because it strongly resembled the one from Spigen but with improvements in the flaps - https://www.spigen.com/collections/ipad-pro...=31731909197871

How long they take to get it delivered to you from your order? Placed mine on March 26th! Got it on April 6th so about 10 days total. Was considering to get their paper-like screen protector as well but read reviews how it collects dirt + wears out apple pencil nib...

Btw, I bought this for the sp: https://s.lazada.com.my/s.0gi3d ... shipment is very fast. Ordered on friday, arrived on sat. Very fast... the good is nicely packed.

I dont think you can request it to be delivered together. Same like you, I ordered pencil and ipad pro in one order. Pencil is shipped and eta is 15 april but ipad is still in progress with expected delivery 17-24 april. Any of you get the shipped status for the new ipad pro?

I have no idea about it but if you try one, please let us know. Based on the paper texture, i believe it will be matte material and based on my previous experience, matte will reduce the screen quality. I dont like it. On my iphone, i never use single sp just to keep the display brilliant. For ipad pro, i dont know why i bought sp. i feel it is big, heavy and more fragile than my phone. I bought this from baseus, https://s.lazada.com.my/s.0gi3d ... the quality of packing is top notch. Waiting my ipad to arrive to try.

QUOTE(Seng_Kiat @ Apr 12 2020, 05:50 PM) Any of you get the shipped status for the new ipad pro? No change for me either bro (still in processing). I took a look at a few other iPad forums around the world and I'm seeing consistent delays in shipping. My understanding is that there's a supply shortage of iPads across the range because domestic demand spiked up in China (and globally) due to the lockdown (parents buying for kids to do e-learning etc). Hopefully with upliftment of lockdown, Foxconn will ramp up production and we should get it soon. If status doesn't change by Monday then I'll probably call Apple hotline to enquire about situation.

So what cases are you guys going to rock with your iPad Pro?
I’m not sure if the Magic Keyboard is going to be enough, if you’re gonna chuck it to a bag after use etc.

Mine was originally due on 23rd to 27th April but I have a strong suspicion that ours will be in the same shipment from Singapore.
