Apple Store in London’s world-famous Harrods opening mid-March, may signal iPad 3 launch date

“In January, we broke the news that Apple plans to open a retail store inside of London’s world-famous Harrods department store. Harrods is a premier landmark with hundreds of individual shops and sections within the greater structure,” Mark Gurman reports for 9to56Mac. “The flurry of high-end brands within Harrods makes the store a logical spot for Apple to continue its string of “store-in-store” locations. Now, sources inside Harrods reported that Harrods and Apple plan to open the new store in mid-March.”

Gurman reports, “Naturally, a mid-March opening for the Harrods Apple Store brings up speculation about an iPad 3 launch date. The iPad 3 is rumored to be introduced March 7, and Apple typically launches its new products within a few weeks of the introductions.”

  1. Why in the world would an Apple store-within-a-store signal the iPad 3 introduction? Wow, talk about stretching it. Like Apple would delay opening a store in Harrold’s just to coincide with the iPad 3’s launch, which won’t be announced in Harrold’s anyway.
