After months of berangan-ing and watching unboxing videos, I have finally ordered the M1 iPad Pro and an Apple Pencil on the 7th of September! Apple said both products will arrive on the 13th of September but the Apple Pencil already arrived yesterday (10th September) while it seems like the iPad is still in China (as shown in the image below). Is this normal? I have doubts that it will arrive by the 13th since it will be shipped from China but I'm trying to stay optimistic and believe that the iPad is already shipped but wasn't updated as an important milestone.

I opted to engrave the iPad which would have increased the time for me to get my shipment but I have already received an email stating that "your shipment is on its way" which makes me believe that my product itself is ready but it hasn't been shipped.

Has anyone encountered a similar issue and how it was handled?

The image below is the latest updated tracking information.

Thank you very much!

I know that feeling lol

usually apple delivery promise timeline 2 - 3 weeks from my experience.
