A few days ago, a report was published that Apple could delay the launch of the iPhone 12 by several months. Now people from the supply chain have commented on this.
According to a new DigiTimes report, Taiwanese suppliers have spoken out regarding the delay of the iPhone 12. Nikkei claimed a few days ago that Apple is internally discussing delaying the launch of the iPhone 12 to postponeThe Japanese news site noted that suppliers have already been asked to delay mass production of the new iPhones by two months. But that is not true. According to the paid article Item:
Taiwan's PCB manufacturers - in the supply chain of 5G iPhones - have denied reports that they have been asked to delay mass production by two months, according to industry sources, as the launch of Apple's new generation of devices is likely to be delayed amid the coronavirus pandemic.
Never forget – rumors remain rumors
Nikkei quoted an anonymous source as saying that Apple fears weak sales figures due to the Corona crisis. According to this, the iPhone could debut a few months later than planned. However, a final decision will not be made until May. Today's report merely confirms an earlier Bloomberg articlethat the iPhone 12 development progress is still within the planned timeframe. However, that does not mean that the Nikkei report is completely wrong. In fact, it could only be partially false. It was emphasized that the talks about postponing the market launch are still in a very early phase and a final decision will be made in May. Accordingly, both reports should be viewed with a healthy dose of skepticism. (Photo by gutaper / Bigstockphoto)
