Your long delayed iPad order may have moved a little closer to completion after Apple’s online store changed the order status from ‘Not yet shipped’ to ‘Prepared for shipping’.
However you may not have noticed the change as the UK online store – store.apple.com/uk – is still showing the heart-crushing ‘Not yet shipped’ status. To see if your order is now almost ready to ship check the status at store.apple.com which often seems to have a slightly more progressed status for orders.
Apple’s phone reps tell that ‘Prepared for shipping’ means devices are likely to leave them within the next 24 hours and will be despatched from within the UK so it seems the agonising wait may soon be over for many.
