During the conference for the presentation of the financial results that took place last week, Tim Cook said that Apple was not affected in any way by the recent disaster in Japan. It was speculated that Apple would have problems with stocks and that he had recently concluded several contracts with certain component suppliers to keep the production of iDevices active, but everything was just rumours. Yesterday, at a store of the retailer Target, the above message was displayed as an explanation for the lack of iPad 2 tablets in stock.
I don't know if the people in the management of Target have instructed their employees to post such messages to explain the lack of stock of the iPad 2 tablet, but it is quite a strange situation. Apple says one thing, the resellers say another, and in the end no one knows which of them is telling the truth.
