Report claims iPad 3 launch may face shortages

0. phoneArena posted on 02 Mar 2012, 17:30

This is one of those stories that we just can't help but take with a grain of salt, because it feels like every time Apple is releasing a new iOS device, it faces some sort of component shortage. Of course, unless...

You cant make that joke about the iPad anymore since the galaxy tab 2 came out after the galaxy tab plus... just sayin.

This is to be expected as when apple goes and changes everything again when re-releasing products with a new name,the ifans go out in droves and buy it like piranhas in a frenzy.

The 'new' product is sold out,ifans put their names down on waiting list,the feverish desire increases with the wait and then the thrilling 'apple experience' of waiting on the product is completed. All this happens while they basically already have the exact same product already at home from last years version of the above events.

Don't worry andro I'm sure you're tablet of choice will have plenty in stock. Just check the clearance bin at your local Walmart.

Haha Walmart! Thanks taco but i dont live in a country with Walmart and working in the phone industry i dont have to pay for a tablet we can get stuff free from companies if we want ;-)

No freebies from apple of course they are the only ones who give us nothing which is typical,and thank god because they would prob try and charge us money for their 'free' stuff

Wow an Apple product facing shortages?! Who would have thunk?!

Isn't shortage how Apple sells their products in the first place? Create scarcity, increase desire?

12. MichaelHeller posted on 03 Mar 2012, 10:07

That is part of the plan, but really it's a matter of not wanting to have too much extra stock on hand at any given time. Last I heard, Apple had it down to where they only held 2 days worth of stock at any time to reduce waste.
