iPad 2 Shipping Estimates for U.S. Online Orders Improve to 3-4 Weeks


Just hours after the first international online orders for the iPad 2 began with shipping estimates of 2-3 weeks, Apple has shortened estimates for new U.S. orders to 3-4 weeks from the earlier 4-5 week figure that has been in place for nearly ten days.

Reports from MacRumors readers have indicated that shipments of earlier iPad 2 orders are beginning to come through in larger quantities, and we're hearing of more stock making its way to Apple's retail stores, suggesting that supply constraints may be starting to ease just in time for the international launches.

Better!:D

Hopefully this will help reduce the "rest of the world" backlash on availability.

here's hoping they have fixed the light leakage issue plaguing the iPads that have shipped thus far otherwise they may as well push shipping Estimates out 6 months because these things are defective

Maybe this will stop the price gougers insisting on them being sold out everywhere to boost their own profits?

First negative comment... my ship date on previously ordered iPad 2 has not improved. I'm better off ordering another one and returning the second one when it comes in! Arrgh!

I love it when Google/Samsung/Sony/Motorola employees create new MacRumors accounts (join date Mar 2011) just to try to propagate garbage like this. Obviously trying to start a new antennagate. If you can't beat them in sales, try to start some bogus stories in the blogs and hope the media picks up on it. :rolleyes:

THIS JUST IN: My iPad 2 is absolutely fine and its in my hands right now. Anybody else who really has one complaining?

This is lame! I don't care about the iPad 2-I want to know more rumours about the iPad 3 and its release.

There. Happy?:D

Sorry but that's not the case, created an account just recently to provide my input on this issue on another thread. I am 3 iPads down with problems and still hoping the 4th will arrive with no leakage or dead pixels. I'm glad yours is "absolute fine" but if you do a search or just ask around you will find this is a widespread problem
