With the coronavirus and the pandemic happening right now, many tech companies are seeing their plans for this year turned upside down. Apart from various tech conferences which were canceled (while theWWDC in June will be exceptionally online) and supplier factories which have been closed, there is now a delay to consider for the release of different products, particularly at Apple.
This will surely be the case for the iPhone 12as we already reported a few days ago. This is also what the CEO of Broadcam, one of Apple's major suppliers for the iPhone, says.
Broadcom notably deals with Wi-Fi chips for Apple smartphones. And Hock Tan, its boss, would have announced, according to Bloomberg, during a conference for investors, that the company would have to face a one-quarter delay in its usual annual increase in revenues. It justifies this delay by a delay in the production cycle of its parts intended for one of its major North American customers.
Hock Tan often refers to Apple in this way. We can therefore hypothesize that the iPhone 12 should experience adelayed by one trimester and only released in the fourth trimester, either between the months of October and December 2020, instead of arriving on the market in September, or at the end of the third quarter.
