But if you want the $169 attachable Smart Keyboard or $99 Apple Pencil stylus you need to really get the most out of your new iPad Pro, you'll have to wait another three to four weeks.

We checked whether the Pencil and Keyboard were available for pickup at the Apple Store in San Francisco and struck out there, too.

We've also heard independently from a third-party software vendor that Apple is saying the Pencil won't be broadly available for a few more weeks.

We've reached out to Apple for comment and will update if we hear back.
