The Apple Store has begun taking preorders for both the AirTag and the purple iPhone 12, with first deliveries expected on April 30.
Customers can now use the online Apple Store for preordering two of Apple's new releases, as well as accessories for them. The Store was taken down for all products around six hours ahead of the scheduled AirTag and purple iPhone 12 availability at 5 a.m. Pacific, or 8 a.m. Eastern.
Orders for both, plus accessories such as AirTag keychains, are expected to be high. Consequently, delivery times are likely to soon slip, but they will begin on Friday, April 30. Both AirTag and the new iPhone 12 will also be in physical Apple Stores from that date.
Also on April 30, 2021, the Apple Store will begin taking preorders for both the new iMac, and the revised Apple TV 4K. Each is slated to be delivered to customers during the second half of May.

Had my order in within 3 minutes for an AirTag, and the delivery date was already May 3rd. And May 4th for the leather keyring. So I can definitely see the date slipping quickly
Same for me. Tags are May4-6. And Belkin case May 11-18. And here people said these things were going to sell. 🤔
Got my Tags order in right at 7:01 central time. Apple keychain as well. Delivery date of April 30th.
April 30 delivery for me, but I only ordered one to check it out - I’m sure the 4 pack is flying off the shelves and will have a longer wait time
