If you were still hoping to get a new iPad before Easter, you should probably get your camping gear ready. Apple has reportedly sold out of their pre-orders for the new iPad in every combination, leading to a 2 to 3 week wait for anyone who orders… today. That wait is expected to grow even more as the demand for the newest installment of iPads has been off the charts.
If you are sold on the idea of buying an iPad but are on the fence on when to buy it, my advice is pre-order ASAP. The wait is only going to get longer and any Apple store will barely be stocked after the Friday launch, with most of the units going to fill pre-orders.
