Every retail company does blackouts during the holidays.
But this is not the holidays. That is why it is news
However on several other sites, folks claiming to be Apple store employees have said there is no blackout. That they have received approval for time off during the period in question. In some cases after AI broke their big story
Stop with the iPad 2 speculation. That CANNOT be the reason for restricting employee vacations. Those can be sold in seconds at the store, no problem. It's only a new phone on a new network that takes time to handle in the store.
Of course it can be the new iPad. Because it takes more than seconds. And when they have huge lines that need to be managed etc, they need staff for that. And after last year they would have reason to expect long lines over several days, larger than normal shipments requiring more staff to help open them etc
