My ATV and new remote still haven't shipped, still showing a 5/21-5/27 delivery window. Usually, I see a tracking number in either FedEx or ups by now, so odds are I'll receive mine closer to 5/27.

Not the end of the world at all, but was hoping to get mine closer to the 21st, as I pre-ordered it right away.

Looking forward to it.

if you look at the ATV delivery date Thread, almost everyone in the EU has their date at the 28th.
I ordered mine in the first minute, showed 21-28 but after a few days it was the 28th

Yea, mine says 27th, so it seems the US likely get theirs this Friday, and UK the 27th 🙄

Very curious what they will have in store Friday, everything is back order. Do they have separate stock for the Apple stores?
Yes they will have an initial shipment. The big question is what time it becomes available. Once the inventory is made available to purchase you can see online for store pick up.
