The issues were discovered when Foxconn started testing the iPhone 15!
The bad ones all come together. And even the most valuable company in the world is not spared from this decision. After a Bank of America global security analyst reports that Apple may be considering or has decided to delay the launch date of the iPhone 15, a new report says it there will be few available units of iPhone 15 Pro and iPhone 15 Pro Max.
The cause of the inconvenience, which these sources say exists around the production of the iPhone 15, has to do with problems in screen production. Mostly because of the challenge of decreasing the size of the bezel around the screen.
The iPhone 15 screen is problematic
According to the report published by The Information, the production of the iPhone 15 Pro and iPhone 15 Pro Max screens requires a new manufacturing process to enlarge them, without compromising the final size of the device. But it seems this condition could not be met on screens manufactured by LG.
The issues with the screens were discovered when Foxconn began the production phase of “risk ramp”
According to the information:
A person with direct knowledge said displays made by LG failed reliability tests after being subjected to a new process called low-pressure injection overmolding, or LIPO. The process involves Apple fusing the display into its metal casing before assembly. Apple repeatedly tweaks the design of LG’s display so that it can pass the tests.
If the problem cannot be solved in time, Apple will likely choose to launch the new iPhone 15 lineup in the first week of October. Last year, the firm with the bitten apple logo introduced its iPhone 14 series on September 7. All iPhone 14 models officially went on sale on September 16, except for the iPhone 14 Plus, which went on sale on October 7, 2022.
Considering that the bug is more prominent on the iPhone 15 Pro Max, it is likely that there will be a more pronounced shortage of this model, rather than the iPhone 15 Pro, since Apple has the screens manufactured by Samsungyour historic supplier, “continue to assemble a significant number of units.”
