Apple has reportedly put a freeze on Best Buy iPad 2 sales due to mishandling by the electronics retailer. According to a CrunchGear tipster, Best Buy was holding off on selling the iPad 2s it had in stock, telling customers there weren’t any when in fact they had just reached their quota of sales for the day. Folks over at TUAW also report that a reader tipped them of the freeze as well. He claims that until further notice, the mammoth electronics retailer has had all stock except demo units pulled. The incident is said to have led Apple to slap a ban on the sales of any more iPad 2 devices at the store. Meanwhile, Apple’s chief operating officer Tim Cook has jumped into the scene and is currently charting out negotiations to solve the issue. Rumor or not, the freeze in sales of the iPad 2 at Best Buy could hurt the stores reputation. Let us know your thoughts in the comments section below.
