These days some of Apple stores are still experiencing troubles with shortage of iPads and iPhone 4s. However, it is now possible to place an order within the local stores provided they don’t have the device you are in need of. The name of the customer and the product wanted will be put on a priority list.
Fortunaterly, Apple seems to be eager to clear out all the waiting lists by this weekend. It is known that some stores have reservations of approximately 250-750 iPads and 500-1000 iPhone 4s.
To achieve this goal, Apple is planning to use “all hands on deck” approach, similar to when major products are presented. In addition, some stores will be opened early on Sunday to assist with moving iPhone 4s and iPads. According to BGR, after waiting lists have been cleared out, sales can be total approximately between 500,000 and 1,000,000 over the weekend only.
In such a way, Apple can sell a great number of iOS devices and clear out the iPhone 4 waiting list before launching the white model.
Still, there are rumors that some stores are still keeping the iPad in stock almost 4months after launching, but Apple reports that the iPad has been selling not worse than all of its Mac computers. According to the common iPad sales rates these reports are worth believing.
How r they managing these days? Anyone knows??
