Update: The iPad Pro website has now been updated in the U.K. Let us know if you have any issues ordering in other non-U.S. countries. If so, it’s worth trying the mobile Apple Store app.

The iPad Pro went on sale today in more than 40 countries, but things aren’t quite so straightforward if you don’t live in the good old U.S. of A.

For some strange reason, Apple’s website is still showing the iPad Pro as “Available in November” in places like the U.K., meaning that customers can’t place orders. So how do you do it? Cult of Mac has the answer.

As a number of Twitter users have noted, Apple’s non-U.S. website may not yet be updated to reflect the availability of the iPad Pro, but the company’s Apple Store mobile app is.

Whether it’s just a slight lack of uniformity on Apple’s part, or a sinister experiment to drive downloads of the app (the former is by far the more plausible scenario) isn’t clear, but if you’re one of the non-U.S. customers hoping to get your hands on one of the potentially limited supply iPad Pros, then that’s how you should do it.
