iPad 2 Stock To Be Replenished Tomorrow Morning, Several Apple Stores Confirm
We have independently confirmed with several Apple Stores that additional shipments of iPad 2 will be available to purchase tomorrow morning. Several representatives at different Apple Stores told us of the expected shipment, and two popular stores said they are planning to open an hour earlier than usual at 9AM to accommodate the sales.
Some Apple Stores to Open at 9AM, Not all Stores Getting Shipments?
It’s unknown if all Apple Stores plan to open an hour earlier tomorrow, and several refused to disclose any plans to open an hour early. Some Apple staff indicated uncertainty regarding additional iPad shipments tomorrow, with one Apple Store telling us they “don’t know yet” and instead to “check back in the morning.”
Expect Lines & Sell Outs… Again
One store representative told us that demand has been huge and they are getting a large number of store visits and phone calls inquiring about the new iPad, adding that they are expecting lines to form early in the morning. If long lines do form again, you can be sure this iPad 2 shipment will sell out rather quickly, so the earlier you can get to an Apple Store the better.
We will continue to update iPad 2 availability as we receive more information. If you want to check your local Apple Store, visit the retail store list and call them directly.
Saturday after launch Biltmore Store in Phoenix, had about 10 of them. None since then, if you believe the sign they have posted. I was all ready to buy one, after visits to the store everyday, kind of over it.
I was very excited about this product and anxious to buy one. But now I am getting grumpy. It should not be so hard to buy this… almost seems as though the shortages are staged to make the product seem more in demand. I know, my cynical side has taken over.
I totally agree. A great way to create demand is launch a product and have limited quanties the day of….then NO product now going on 3 days in a row. According to what I’m reading it sounds like the entire nation received 15 ipads this week so far. I love Apple but this launch has tamed my enthusiasm.
none in Washington square Tigard, OR
Went to Willow Bend Mall in Dallas on Tuesday, 3/15…not one ipad2 for second day in a row. I heard the Southlake store received 15. Obviously they had little inventory ready to ship beyond initial launch.
Columbus, Oh…. received six.
Both Apple Stores in Palo Alto (Stanford, University Ave) report no shipments today.
none in Charlotte NC either… was there at 8am.. small line… they gave us all free covers of our choice for telling us yesterday that they would have some today.
I had two stores in the Boston/Providence area confirm last night they’d have new stock this morning and were opening at 9a, another said no, they weren’t opening early and weren’t getting any. Was at one of the two stores this morning, 2nd person there…no stock. Called the other…no stock. Grrr…
None at Briarwood Mall Ann Arbor this morning. :(
I’m heading to my local Apple Store in the morning before work, hopefully they have something for me :D :D :D
Union Square store told me 9am
I think all the big city stores will get shipments for tomorrow, every store I called in California said tomorrow morning.
