We also highlight issues related to the happy coronavirus that has kept us locked in our homes for a few days and that affects, not only economically, companies, but also, according to some analysts, the introduction of new products.
There are many rumors that this year, Apple will introduce the first compatible iPhone to 5G networks if it doesn't want it to be the target of criticism from both users and the media. Some analysts say that due to the impact of coronavirus worldwide, especially in China, Apple may not be launching 5G technology on the iPhone this year.
And I would say that would be a criticism of many users and the media, because not everyone changes iPhones every year. Many users keep an iPhone for 2, 3 or even 4 years. If this year you are not launching a model that is compatible with 5G networks, it is likely that most users who are planning to upgrade their iPhone, will not do it and wait for the next one.
A Webbush analyst says:
Apple will not launch an iPhone with 5G technology by 2020 due to the explosion of the largest supply chains in Asia right now, and that its approval will still take a few months, so Apple would not have enough time to use this new chip unless it's delaying the launch of the new iPhone. The timing and extent of the global coronavirus impact cannot be predicted, at least in the current context.
Analysts await the launch of the iPhone compatible with 5G networks generate a sales record for the company, similar to the ones Apple experienced when launching the iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus.
