Apple has yet to supply Hong Kong stores with the new tablet computers

Apple fans in countries scheduled to receive iPad Air shipments can now order and get their new tablet computer in 24 hours or less. All but those living in Hong Kong, though.

Despite being on the list of countries scheduled to receive iPad Air shipments last week, Hong Kong is unable to fulfill iPad Air orders. The reason is unknown.

Apple lists 24-hour shipping times for territories like Australia, Austria, Belgium, Bulgaria, Canada, and even China, as well as dozens others. Hong Kong is also included in the first batch of countries slated to carry the product. However, the online Apple store in the country lists iPad Air as “currently unavailable.”

In other parts of the world, there doesn’t seem to be a shortage of iPad Airs, despite rumors that Apple’s suppliers are having trouble coping with Retina display orders from Apple.
