If you ordered an M1-based iPad Pro, it could arrive as soon as May 21st.
A number of Twitter users have reported that their M1 iPad Pro orders have had their status updated from “Preparing to ship” to “Shipped.”
While Apple has remained vague as to the actual launch and delivery dates of the tablets, some HTML code in a website announcement indicated that delivery could occur anywhere from May 21 to May 28.
When announcing this year’s iPad Pro models, Apple highlighted the M1 chip, optional 5G, and the “Liquid Retina XDR” miniLED screen.
Apple today announced the most powerful and advanced iPad Pro ever, pushing the limits of what’s possible on iPad. The addition of the Apple-designed M1 chip delivers a massive leap in performance, making iPad Pro the fastest device of its kind.
The 12.9-inch iPad Pro features a new Liquid Retina XDR display that brings extreme dynamic range to iPad Pro, offering a stunning visual experience with more true-to-life details to the most demanding HDR workflows.
Cellular models with 5G deliver even faster wireless connectivity when on the go, and to provide users with pro-level throughput for high-speed accessories, iPad Pro now includes support for Thunderbolt.
Apple also highlighted its new Center Stage feature, which uses digital cropping from the ultra-wide front camera to provide artificial tracking of users during video calls.
