Apple is considering delaying the release of 5giphone 5g version of iPhone. When will it be released
On March 26, it was reported that Apple was considering delaying the planned release schedule of its next-generation iPhone. According to Nikkei news, 5g iPhone, widely known as' iPhone 12 'series, was originally planned to be launched in September this year.
Apple is discussing whether it should delay the phone for months. Apart from the obvious supply constraints, apple is also concerned that customers' demand for new flagship mobile phone will be weak, because New Coronavirus has already affected consumer confidence and consumption.
Previously, it home reported that Apple's iPhone 12 series would have four devices. Apple is preparing a new 5.4-inch iPhone, two 6.1-inch models and a new 6.7-inch model. All new iPhones will be equipped with OLED display and support 5g network. These two high-end models will be equipped with three camera system and lidar sensor, which is similar to the iPad Pro 2020 just released.
The report said that the combination of supply chain challenges and weak customer demand could lead apple to delay the release of mobile phones by 'several months'. Because of New Coronavirus's travel restrictions, Apple could not design the prototype because Apple could not send its employees to China to cooperate with the factory.
Nikkei News quoted the view of an iPhone component supplier,
A component supplier related to printed circuit boards said: "we have been notified to start mass shipments at the end of August to meet Apple's new product launch, rather than sometime in June, as in previous years." The changes have been made recently, which may mean that mass production of mobile phones may also be delayed for several months. "
Apple's final decision will be made in May, the report said. In the worst case, the release of 5g iPhone 12 may be delayed until 2021.
