In a piece of news that seems hard to believe for an efficient company such as Apple, it appears that the Cupertino giant had already produced a million units of the iPad 2 HD. This is the Retina Display version of the tablet, that has apparently been canned, in order for the iPad 3 to be launched in January 2012.
The info comes from Jefferies & Co analyst Peter Misek, with the usual inside sources. Misek is making all of these unveilings in a recent note posted online today and it’s pretty strange to see a new iPad in January instead of March, as one would expect. Also, why would Apple debut a new product in January when everyone is pennyless after Christmas shopping?!
What I’m more curious about is what Apple will decide to do with the million of iPad 2 HD units it has left. Meanwhile, we’ve yet to see any confirmation from component suppliers, so all of this may be bogus info. Well, this may as well be a sign that Apple could be launching the iPad 2 HD AND the iPad 3 soon enough…
