Apple is turning “more aggressive” in placing orders for its iPad 2 and is set to ship 12-14 million units in the third fiscal quarter, reports “DigiTimes” (http://macte.ch/0m9Js) quoting unnamed “market watchers.”
That compares to 7-9 million iPads sold in the second quarter of the year. Apple has been piling up its inventory of iPad 2 components such as panels in the second quarter to minimize the risk of facing component shortage, says “DigiTimes.”
