Currently, the wait for a new iPad at retail stores in the U.S. is three days. Meanwhile the wait in Europe in Japan is even longer: two to three weeks on new orders.
“Customer response to the new iPad has been off the charts and the quantity available for pre-order has been purchased,” said a Apple spokesperson. “Customers can continue to order online and receive an estimated delivery date. Beginning Friday, March 16, the new iPad will be available for purchase at Apple’s retail stores and select Apple Authorized Resellers on a first come, first-served basis.”
