In what may be a crushing blow to eagerly awaiting iPad 2 purchasers, a report stated one of Apple’s iPad 2 manufacturers may be experiencing some problems with production. Rumored to first be available sometime this April, it now looks like a June launch is what we will all have to wait for.
Yuanta Securities Co. is reporting iPad 2 manufacturer Hon Hai Precision Industry Co. is experiencing a “bottleneck” with their production of Apple’s next generation iPad.
Analysts from Yuanta said the delay occured after Apple made some design changes before the Lunar New Year, an article from Bloomberg reported.
This may put a damper on any healthy lead in the tablet wars Apple may have had considering new Android tablets are to be launched soon. It also may reduce the expected iPads to be produced in 2011 by several million.
