Apple's New iPad Delayed Until June?

This prediction is 100% correct... the iPad 3 will launch somewhere in June. It won't be the initial launch though and it won't be the U.S. launch. ;) (Who thought the iPad 3 would launch Worldwide in April?).

With all the tech sites/blogs strongly advising people to not buy current version iPads due to imminent refresh, this seems like a bit of manipulation orchestrated by Apple to keep the current versions moving in the interim. Might explain why MacRumors has never heard of these guys Yuanta Securities, too. ;)

Sounds about right. My girlfriend bought me one for V-day from Best Buy. At first I wanted to bring it back right away, but I said screw it and opened it. Will return it before the 30 days are up. So I still have almost 3 weeks left. I hope in the meantime the new one is announced which will keep her getting any more annoyed at me. I always return anything electronic that she gets me because she's obviously not up on the latest news for these things.

But I heard from a reliable source The iPad 7 was supposed to be released on April 1st. Here's his picture.

Why would he lie? :D
 
Unless Apple was able to get access to a higher resolution display for the 2G iPad (which means a new round of FCC and European Commission RF certification testing), I completely discount this rumor.

Great now I'm gonna have to wait even longer :( well maybe a delay would make it slightly better...doubtful, can't wait to get an iPad! I've been waiting since the announcement of the first iPad for this one to come out..

just my thoughts

I've never understood the reasoning behind waiting for 'B' before 'A' is even released. Don't these things sell like hot-cakes on the secondary market? Just buy 'A' and have fun till 'B' comes out. Even if it doesn't quite meet your spec requriements, it's still better than nothing. Right?
 
And so it continues...

No White iphone 4...
...Antenna-gate...
...ipad 2 delays...

these are the classic signs of a company that is starting to slip.

LOL, just sell your stock if you have any and start using stinkpads, Androids, Xooms etc.

Wait til' he finds out that VERIZON gets the iphone and most likely the ipad2.
 
Forget having an iPad 3 by the end of the year, we will just end up seeing the iPad 2 released along with new iPods and/or the iPhone5.

It would make more sense to have all iOS devices receive refresh at the same time just like MacBook Pros get their own, and so do the MBA's, MP's, iMacs, AppleTVs, and all other lines.
 
Amaze me...

How can a product without a launch date announced be 'delayed'?!

Utter nonsense, non-story, 'analysts' trying to talk down AAPL stock based on delays to 'launch dates' that the same 'analaysts' invented in the first place...

Does anyone here remember Apple stating when the next version of the iPad and iPhone would be launched? - I seem to have missed that one - it's shocking that they're missing this 'announced' deadline.

</sarcasm>

Wouldn't an April launch be Q2, not Q1?

June would still be within Q2. I would say it's better Apple takes it's time to do it right rather than releasing a mediocre product. I'm in no rush.
If this is true, then i's very unlikely that the iPad 3 will be released in September (Q3) as a recent rumor claims. That would be a disaster for Apple as most people would wait for iPad 3 rather than purchase the iPad 2.

It would make more sense for Apple to either completely turn the iPad 3 into the iPad 2, or implement some of the planned iPad 3 features into the iPad 2, and wait another year for the new release.

We'll have to wait and see, after all, it's all rumors... :cool:
 
I looked at the bloomburg article and it says that apple made a design change about 3 weeks ago.

Thats around went rumors were going around that the iPad 2 was going into production

This either means that they just wasted a bunch of time and pre-production iPads or they made the change and then started production

I still think the iPad 2 is coming any day now
 
*************

Yuanta Securities Co. wanted some free press. Also to deflate the already weakened AAPL for their own gain.

I bet I could create a fake "Securities" company website, publish an article on Apple and get published by Bloomberg (sellout attention whores).

Fact is, Apple never gets delayed by anything other than too many orders. iPad 2 ASAP. No doubt about it.:apple::apple::apple::D

To me, this rumor makes no sense and does not line up with all the other rumors. Plus, market timing is good now. All the competitors are set in stone right now, so they can't change real fast if Apple surprises them with something unexpected. On top of that, the word is getting around that iPad 2 is on the horizon so I'm sure sales are beginning to slide.

EXACTLY. If they're not holding an event for the new MBP's on Thursday, then it will be mid March. I have a feeling though that today we'll see invites for a (Tuesday) March 1 event. 2/24 may be Steve's birthday, but he'll probably not attend an event so I think they'll skip it. We'll see in a few hours if I'm wrong. Hope I'm not.:rolleyes:
 
we'll know thursday if this apple team meeting has to do with the macbook pro refresh or the ipad 2. if macbook pros aren't in stores thursday then we can assume the meeting will be to discuss those, rather than ipad 2. or the meeting could possibly talk about both, macbook pro update in the next week, then ipad 2 in a few weeks after.

who knows. at first it was fun to speculate new rumors every day about ipad 2, but now i'm tired of it, i just want the thing already. if i have to wait until june, i don't know what i'll do. ridiculous rumor though.
