The updated iPad, which went on sale last Friday, is sold out in most Apple
Stores by early morning, where customers line up often as early as 6 a.m.
hoping to be first when the stores open at 9 or 10 a.m.
But with the impact of the Japanese earthquake and nuclear crisis, the iPad
is going to be even harder to come by.
Thursday, Apple updated its lag time for online iPad orders from 3-4 weeks
to 4-5 weeks.
In a note to investors, Piper Jaffray analyst Gene Munster said that two
iPad suppliers--Mitsubishi Gas and Toshiba, for circuit boards and flash
memory, have shut down their factories temporarily.
A report from research iSuppli Thursday says that five crucial iPad
components come from Japan--NAND flash from Toshiba, memory from Elpida
Memory, an electronic compass from AKM Semiconductor, glass from Asahi Glass
Co. and the battery from Apple's Japan division.
The uncertainity in Japan will add "days, if not weeks," to what already was
a pre-existing backlog, says Richard Doherty, an analyst with the
Envisioneering Group.
Doherty says that Apple, however, always has backup plans for suppliers. "
This is a company that's been through volcanos in Iceland, the earlier Kobe
earthquake in Japan--they always have backup plans for everything."
In Japan, many companies have closed down their factories. Whatever happens,
Doherty doesn't believe Apple will be forced to hike prices for the iPad. "
That's not in Apple's DNA."
However, savvy speculators have turned to websites like eBay to make a quick
profit on the iPad, by offering new models at auction prices from $799 to $
1,200.
Piper Jaffray analyst Gene Munster, in a note to investors, said the
shortages will cause Apple's revenue to fall around 1% for the quarter. | G*******s
