When the Apple iPad Pro and its accessories launched three days ago, we noted that the shipping estimates for the Apple Pencil and Smart Keyboard were 5 to 7 business days. Apparently, demand had caught Apple by surprise and the waiting time is now at least a month.
At time of publication, both accessories show shipping estimates of 4 to 5 weeks. According to Mashable, an Apple spokesperson has responded to the matter and assured customers who have pre-ordered the accessories that they will receive them.
Mashable - “Customers are very excited for iPad Pro, Apple Pencil and the Smart Keyboard," an Apple spokesperson told Mashable. "We have limited supply of Apple Pencil and the Smart Keyboard in Apple Retail stores. Our stores will continue to receive regular shipments and we encourage customers to visit Apple.com for online availability and delivery dates.”
The other third-party keyboard case for the iPad Pro by Logitech is shipping in 4 to 6 weeks. It is slightly cheaper at S$249 and features backlit full-size keys with a protective cover that is resistant to spills and scratches. In the meantime, do check out our review of the iPad Pro.
