Apple has started shipping new Apple TV orders in Canada, as we just received notification our pre-order is on its way, for delivery on November 5 (we ordered around 6:30AM PDT three days ago). The new Apple TV officially launches tomorrow in Canada and should be available at Apple retail stores according to sources we’ve spoken to (Update: Best Buy not likely now for tomorrow).
The 4th gen Apple TV starts at $199 for the 32GB version and $269 CAD for the 64GB model. In our unscientific poll asking which version you purchased, 45% of you voted to order the 32GB model, while 39% opted for the 64GB version, while 16% said they were not purchasing a new Apple TV.
Has your new Apple TV shipped yet?

Still waiting. Your Nov 5 delivery date seems late though. Thinking I maybe should have left it and hit a store this weekend. Oh well.
not yet.
just shipped!!!!
Still “Preparing for Shipment” for me. Living in Calgary. Purchased 64GB model ten minutes after it went on sale.
Awesome. Mine just shipped Thursday evening. Due to arrive in Calgary on November 4th.
I ordered mine shortly after when they went up for sale. I paid $14 for expedited shipping to Vancouver between Nov 2-4. Mine is still preparing for shipment. I am going to a retail store tomorrow. If I can buy one in person I am rejecting my UPS delivery and calling Apple to waive my shipping fee. Doesn’t make sense to me otherwise
Damn, I know I shouldn’t have procrastinated until Monday afternoon…
Mines says Nov.2 Delivery . I’m only 40 Minutes outside of Toronto. And I ordered at 10am EST.
I ordered before you and I’m still waiting for shipment. This makes no sense.
It’ll ship. Kinda weird how Apples shipment notifications work . I had it before that I got a shipment notifation the same day as I received the package.
..still “Preparing for Shipment” 🙁
No shipment here. Still saying Nov 5-9 to Vancouver.
Mine’s still showing this. Also to Vancouver. Gah.
Yeah. If they do this with the iPad Pro when it is released I’ll really be pissed!
“Shipped” . I ordered 64GB around 7:15am PDT Monday
I pre-ordered my 64 GB Apple TV on Monday at 20:25. I received the e-mail notification for shipping on Thursday at 20:30. Delivery is scheduled for Monday, 2 November. Yay!
Order mine Monday at 5:30am pst along with a steel series controller. I got the controller Wednesday so I was hoping the atv would be here Friday. The status page still says preparing for shipment. Delivery date says November 3-5.
So sad.
When I pre ordered my iPhone 6s Plus I did not get a shipping notification until the day it arrived. Tracking showed the phone in China at 6am. I got it at 11:30am the same day. So I have a little hope that the Apple tv might just show tomorrow.
I ordered a few hours after it went on sale Monday. Delivery slated for Nov 2-4. Mine switched to “Shipped” around 7:30pm EDT last night. UPS is just showing “A shipping label has been created” with no estimated delivery or anything so almost certainly not getting it today.
I’m wondering if Apple is selling the Apple TV 4th gen at the Apple Stores in Canada today? Anyone check yet?
Yes, we just got confirmation from the Halifax Apple Store 🙂

I’ve ordered 64gb model a couple of hours after store allowed to order. Today is Friday Oct 30 and it is still being prepared for shipment. 🙁 So no Apple TV this weekend. Did they underestimate 64Gb box demand again? Ever since my first iPhone in 2008 apple had trouble stocking higher capacity models
My 64GB model changed to “shipped” last night, but no progress since. UPS is still showing it as just a label created, not actually picked up yet.
Most likely yours will be delivered today, many times for these kind of orders UPS does not even update status until a day later. Lucky 🙂 I guess I was past the first batch of devices. Considering their experience with delivering iPhones thought I would get mine on release day if I pre-order.
You were right! Just got a text from Apple “Today’s the day” and says it will be delivered today!
Got an e-mail from Apple that my ATV will get delivered on November 3rd. 🙁 Bummer, so much for pre-orders, even Apple is now lazy serving early adopters. A weekend without a new toy, will run to Staples and pickup Nexus Player for 69$ and see if it can run XBMC/Kodi well since it is very annoying to wait for my HTPC to bootup these days.
Same here for my 32GB model.
Just got a text from Apple indicating it’ll be delivered today! UPS still showing nothing so keep the faith! 🙂
Lucky!
Ordered mine Monday morning at 8:00 am est. still shows as preparing shipment for last two days.
Finally got a shipped notice around 8pm fri. What a joke.
Why take pre orders if you can’t deliver on the release date? And next time don’t make it a Friday.
