maybe monday they will release ours..

As per this morning, the status is still preparing to ship. My apple pencil order last time took 5 days to reach after the status changed to ship. No i didnt engrave my pencil, yet it still went sg-china-msia route.

I think even if apple ship it out today, i dont think it can reach between 21st - 23rd april.

Based on my observation, the status (updated to shipped) once the carrier picked up the items at evening like 5 to 6pm. Then u would receive the SMS/Email. The air shipment usually happens once a day at night (SG - CN - MY). So the items will arrive in MY early morning like 5am to 7am the next day. Then local carrier needs to distribute based on region for further domestic delivery. This is based on UPS logistic company.

My apple pencil delivery took 4 days SG- CN - MY. on day 5, UPS sent it to my home.

Normally DHL will ship faster compared to UPS haha.

DHL is from SG - KL straight away and UPS is from SG - CN - KL.

QUOTE(issac96 @ Apr 20 2020, 06:06 PM)
Any reasons why it'll go thru CN first?

QUOTE(Hero Tan @ Apr 20 2020, 06:14 PM)
Apple SG being the regional hub, it serves multiple SEA countries in the region... Based on the service opted by Apple SG, it appears to be UPS Worldwide Express Saver and World Ease, I think UPS is consolidating all orders from SG, then ship to CN (as the sorting/pass through) before onward shipment to respective countries. Hence it explains the timing and frequency of shipment.

I am not logistic expert but just my observation.. haha
*
yes. DHL ship straight from SG to MY. For UPS, their region hub is in CN, so everything must go through there. thus SG - CN - MY. i just know from my conversation with apple customer service this afternoon.

Mine is 11”. Bulkiness is still acceptable for me, but it is really heavy. I can’t imagine how heavy it is on a 12.9”.
*
i checked on the verge, they mentioned the weight for 12.9" + magic keyboard is 1.362kg..

my mbp 16" is around 1.83kg. less than 500gram different? i can see that end up i will just bring out my mbp. lol

I haven’t tried to charge thru keyboard yet, but in MKBHD video shows:
1 hour charge thru keyboard +42%
1 hour charge thru iPad +60%

Indeed it’s slower thru keyboard.
Yeah, this is what he told me.
I am personally using 2015 MBA. For me, I feel it is about the same weight with my MBA, or just a little lighter.

i see. btw do u think iPad with keyboard will consume significant battery life as compare to use the iPad only?

not 100% but it perhaps it replicates 60-70% of the actual experience, so a lot more enjoyable to write on right now.

Does it reduce viewing angle or screen clarity?

Glass would be fine I'm sure, I write a lot of notes but my gripe was that I do not want my screen exposed haha

Just installed the tempered glass. I think its coating is kinda good. Not easily smudges. Writing is defnitely not paperlike, more like writing on glass wall but im fine with it.

Nice! Compared to the original iPad screen do you think the smudge is easier to wipe off? Any distortion/worse reflection?

I think the iPad Pro’s oleophobic coating isn’t as good as previous iPads so looking to get a TG..
Only difference is color scheme and click loudness I think. Both models can use Bluetooth OR via USB dongle according to Logitech site.

it's way and much better than iPad Pro's original glass which i think it has no oleophobic coating at all. lol

after 2-3 weeks of owning this new ipad pro, but maybe in total of 2-3 hours of usage, i hv come to conclusion that this ipad pro is a redundant device for me, as all my files are inside my mbp 1TB storage... so i have decided to put my ipad pro in garage sell even before my magic keyboard arrive. sigh.

looks like i'm still stuck with traditional and conventional computer for years to come.
