The Apple Watch Sales postponed


If you were dreaming to buy the Apple Watch at an Apple Store on 24th April, then just reset your stopwatch. Apple has changed its sales planning to make its new Smartwatch available for purchase in stores next Friday. Though, pre-order can be done. Now, Apple consumers likely have to keep patience until June for Apple Watch to fit their wrists. Apple didn’t make any comment about why the change was made.

With shipping dates for pre-orders starting in mid-May and extending into July for some Apple Watch models and it is clear that there will be a supply shortage. According to the estimation of E-receipt Company Slice Intelligence, about 1 million Americans pre-ordered an Apple Watch on 10th April, the first day the watch became available for online ordering. Apple has encountered supply obstacles in the past, typically when it launched a completely redesigned model of an iPhone or an iPad. For the Apple Watch, which is unlike any product Apple has ever made, it's expected that the Smartwatch stock would be tight. Suppliers had to make all new components for the watch since they didn't have the necessary parts lying around from previous versions. Apple removed the 24th April 24 availability date from its website, and an Apple Store employee confirmed that the Watch would not be available for sale on that day.
