UK retailer’s iPad stocks dwindle, fueling speculation about iPad2 release
Posted on February 22nd, 2011 3 comments
Apple’s iPad tablets are not being restocked in several major UK retail chains, leading to speculation about an imminent release of the new iPad 2.Argos and Misco are the latest retailers to display the tell-tale signs of stock clearance, an indicator that seems to contradict a recent rumour that Apple were “significantly delaying” the release of their new tablet.
Low stock levels are usually maintained by retailers shortly before the release of new products as shopkeepers seek to avoid having to heavily discount obsolete products at a later date. While this is not a definite indication of an imminent release, it is certainly a significant occurrence.
Argos and Misco join a long line of retailers who are apparently not ordering replacement stock of the iPad, a list which includes John Lewis, Comet and Carphone Warehouse. However, a research report released by Yuanta Securities hinted that the iPad 2’s release was to be delayed.
The report outlined evidence that a ‘production bottle-neck’ was causing a significant impediment to the launch of the device and could cause a delay in release of up to two-months.
So two conflicting pieces of information have come to light at the same time, and we are still none the wiser as to when the new iPad2 tablet will drop in the UK.
