Apparently the rumor of a delay in the production of iPad 2 has been greatly exaggerated. Macrumors cites a few sources which say yesterday’s report that a production bottleneck was caused by a recent design change from Apple is false. A collective sigh was heard over the Internet.
Jim Dalrymple from loopinsight.com claims everything is on track according to Apple’s schedule:
From what I’ve heard this morning both products are on schedule and will ship when they are supposed to. Only Apple knows exactly when that will be, but the products are not delayed.
It seems amazing that rumors of Apple missing product deadlines are running rampant when Apple hasn’t even announced the product yet. The only deadlines that have been set are by the media, not Apple.
Having said that, the iPhone 5 and iPad 2 are not delayed.
Reuters posted an article and a tweet about the false production delay rumor:
Joining the bandwagon is another reputable source to refute the delay, Barron’s says:
Sources close to Apple (AAPL) this morning tell me there’s nothing to the rumor reported today by Reuters that Apple’s iPad 2 has been delayed, which was told to Reuters by a Taiwanese brokerage firm named Yuanta Securities.
It’s good to see this potential problem being squashed so quickly. But everybody loves a good rumor, right?
