According to the latest data, Apple was preparing an inexpensive new iPhone in the first half of the year. This device will be very similar to that we have traditionally called the iPhone SE 2, a device with a well-known design that is already being remodeled internally to provide an entry-level model at a more affordable price.
All rumors have agreed that this iPhone will be launched soon, possibly in March, we don't know if it was the name iPhone SE 2, the name iPhone 9 or even if it's just called an iPhone. From this suspicious model we know almost everything that comes from it: the same design as the iPhone 8 with a touch ID and 4.7-inch screen, processor A13 Bionic like the one on the iPhone 11, an improved camera and starting price $ 399. We also thought we knew when it would be launched, March 31 in a keynote called Apple.
However, coronavirus, or COVID-19, is very contagious in China too the launch of this iPhone can be delayed. It's nothing to remember, the big events are canceled and it doesn't look like there will be a main issue of March 31, not to mention the lack of official Apple Store locations. Now the new affected looks like the iPhone SE or iPhone 9 and as it is revealed Digitimes, Apple will be forced to delay its launch.
The virus affects Apple a lot more than previously thought
Digitimes it's a way an expert in the analysis of the Apple supply chain, to know how it works you can predict many things related to the apple berry company, including the following releases. If production goes up, it means that Apple is preparing to introduce a new iPhone, and that seems unlikely.

According to a new report Digitimes, who has a varied history in guessing about Apple's product plans, is sometimes right and sometimes not, Manufacturers of the Taiwan regional board print They have been notified that the shipping of iPhone SE 2 parts has been "modified" These pieces should be done in the first quarter of the year, which ends in March. However, according to reports, Apple now says these orders should surrender to the second trimester. No doubt this means a delay that is obviously the result of a coronavirus outbreak.
These problems would have resulted in the making of the new iPhone not working completely, giving us two options. Or Apple is keeping its plans too launches iPhone SE 2 or iPhone 9 in the coming weeks but for limited prices, or Apple delaying its presentation until production is completely stable.
For a reference, though it shouldn't be the same this year, Apple introduced the original iPhone SE at an event held in mid-March and the device went on sale on 31. This year it looks like the presentation will be presented by press release, but we'll see when it happens.
