Start shipping the 15th in order of your payment. So if you were payment number 587. You may not be shipped out on the 15th. That is just starting date. It could be anytime after that.
If real, that was DOPE.. Why would it not just climb the mountain though?
Bring back the P3 if you can and get this one. You might think it's a bad idea now but that's because you won't have a bird for a while but this time next year, you will be kicking yourself. Obstacle avoidance if it works just somewhat is a BIG BIG difference well worth $300. You will take a loss on your batteries but you can sell them for something still especially if you bought one or two extra ones brand new. Plus, you will only need 2-4 batteries with the new one. (Or less). I wonder how long those huge batteries take to charge though. That's my concern.
You're not paying for the 3 minutes. That's just a bonus. The P4 has a bunch of modules that are continuously running like obstacle avoidance. You think that doesn't come at some battery cost? Yeah it does. I'm happy we get more minutes considering all the bonus modules.
You'll be missing out on all the fun, including some of the early adopter beta testing!
We live on the bleeding edge of technology!
Good question. They may also be being shipped directly from China. In any case, I would expect delivery within 2-4 days after the 15th, as DJI ships via ground FedX in the U.S. from Los Angeles.
Could be...but not without paying sales tax!
I wouldn't put too much cred into those "Apple" promises until they are actually fulfilled. Lots of promises go unfulfilled, due to misinformation, or deliberate deception.
Actually, they are promising a range of delivery date options consistent with shipping actually taking place on March 15th. There is no guaranteed promise of any actual delivery date before March 16, even with overnight shipping.
That will barely cover the free sales tax. Out the door, from Apple, you are still looking at $1378. $1399 from DJI now includes all state sales tax. $1511 at Apple without a corporate employer discount. Apple Store team lead also just confirmed display units will be available around March 8-12, but no sales are permitted until March 15th, and none will be shipped to Apple online customers until March 15, just like with DJI direct orders, as expected.
Especially, if you paid Apple $112 in sales tax on top of the $1399, which is the same as the $1399 that DJI is charging online, with all state sales tax included!

Thank you for making my point very clearly. Because Apple has stores in all 50 states, they must charge state sales on all online sales, too. If you buy from DJI directly, if there is any state sales tax required, they are paying it, and because they ARE paying it, you also have no "USE TAX" which most states require that you pay on all online purchases, for which sales tax was not paid. Buy from DJI and save the sales tax or the use tax!
