Apple’s March Event Hints at iPad 2 Launch
Please join us for an invitation-only event at the Yerba Buena Center for the Arts Theater in San Francisco on March 2 at 10:00 a.m. Registration begins at 9:00 a.m. Please arrive early.
The invitation comes from Apple and judging by the picture of the invitation featuring an iPad corner revealed, it is more than obvious that on the 2nd of March the new iPad 2 will be revealed to the public. Although Apple has not explicitly mentioned the iPad 2 launch, it has been almost a year since the original iPad, sold in over 15 million units, was released. With Android tablets making a strong front this year, it’d be a timely debut for the iPad 2.
The iPad 2 launch should make up for yesterday’s news from Apple regarding the delay in the release of the iPhone 5 that was scheduled for July 2011. Analysts say iPhone 5 will be released starting with September 2011.
Craig Berger, an analyst at FBR Capital Markets:
‘For the iPhone 5, we continue to hear that a July launch is unlikely, with various casing suppliers and touch suppliers still ramping up, with some chip vendors not having yet received firm iPhone 5 orders, and with other sockets like the image sensor… still in flux. Given these factors, we think a September launch is more likely, off from Apple’s traditional iPhone launch schedule, but giving the firm more time to enhance its next-generation instant communications on the phone.’
