Apple Store Ship Dates Slip for HomeView and Apple TV 4K

Uneven retailer stock has left Apple using later November delivery windows for many orders.

Overview

  • Apple set a November 13 launch for the new HomeView and Apple TV 4K but pre-order estimates at the Apple Online Store have already moved into late November for many U.S. addresses.
  • Apple’s own checkout now shows shipment windows such as November 20 for some HomeView colors and November 23–27 for the Apple TV 4K, with availability varying by ZIP code.
  • Amazon is still listing launch-day delivery for both products and has posted small pre-order discounts, including HomeView at $289 and the Apple TV 4K at about $289, at the time of reporting.
  • Some Apple Retail Store locations and in-store pickup slots still show earlier availability for certain customers, so buyers can check local stock to try to secure day-one pickup.
  • Reporters expect Apple’s online ship dates to continue slipping as launch day approaches, so customers who want earlier delivery should consider ordering now or buying from alternate retailers.
