Nikkei Asian Review,DigiTimesetCult of Mac, all three generally very well informed when it comes to talking about iPhone, revealed this weekend several clues in favor of an upheaval in thedelivery schedule for the next iPhone 12. Normally, as usual, their manufacturer should market them in September, during a keynote at the Steve Jobs Theater.
As a reminder, according to most of the rumors that have been published until today, Apple plans to formalize four different models. One with a 5.4-inch screen, two with a 6.1″ panel (including a Pro version) and finally the Pro Max, probablephablet6.7″. Which might actually finally happen in October.
What is likely to change
Among the new clues as to the progress of the iPhone 12 design chain, we have just learned that certain suppliers (such as the Japanese Mitsubi or ALPS) have slowed down the pace of their factories. Among the reasons given, we find among other things a shortage of components dedicated to the supposed quadruple rear sensor as well as arevision of sales estimates formulated by Apple,whose results for the last quarter are expected in four days.
213 million deviceswould have been ordered by March 2021 at the latest, an increase of 4% compared to last year. Surely in anticipation of potential delays linked to the current health situation (COVID-19), which some providers would criticize, ensuring that consumer demand would not in fact be as strong by then.
Finally,Cult of Macgive credit again toan assumption that not all countries would benefit from the5Gthe fastest on these future mobiles(according to an unknown source).
