When to expect your pre-ordered Apple devices to ship
Apple has launched a slew of new devices, and many of them start shipping on November 6. That date is going to be a good one to go check out an Apple Store, as depending on what you've pre-ordered, there may not be much reason to wait.

When Apple introduced several new devices, shipping began on November 6. However, the exact shipping time depends on the specific configuration you ordered. Adding features such as nanotexture display to a MacBook Pro or iPad may cause delays. For instance, an order for an iPhone Duo placed today now shows a delivery date of January 22, 2027, which is a week earlier than previously announced.
The base configurations for most devices, including the new Mac Studio with M5 Ultra processor, are expected to ship within 7-8 weeks. Apple has also launched a new configuration of the Mac Studio with 512GB RAM, which is due to ship in January 2027. Although the 14-inch MacBook Pro with M6 processor and PROLED display shipping on November 6, selecting the nanotexture display option pushes the shipping date to November 7.
The non-touch 14-inch MacBook Pro maintains its November 6 shipping date, except for silver models with nanotexture displays, which have a quoted delivery date of 7-10 business days. Pre-orders for the iMac are open, and shipping will be on November 6 for all configurations. The iPad mini with 128GB is also set to ship on November 6, regardless of the Wi-Fi or Wi-Fi + Cellular model you choose.
However, choosing the 256GB configuration with nanotexture display may delay delivery by 2-3 weeks. The HomeView table version has been delayed three to four weeks, but the rose pink version remains available for November 13 shipping. Wall-mounted HomeView options in rose pink and all other colors and mounting choices are also facing delays.
While the iPhone Duo continues to be a popular device, it is advisable to visit Apple Stores on the release date to see and purchase the device in person, as Apple Stores typically stock the versions that sell the fastest. For those seeking to upgrade their Mac Studio with 512GB RAM, ordering online is the only option available.
