Apple has decided to postpone the production of its next state-of-the-art, iPhone 12. This is mentioned in the article The Wall Street Journal, stating that the company would have been forced to delay its launch for one month due to prevailing conditions.
In fact, the cause of this backlash could be the result of a coronavirus epidemic caused by glob al demand in the luxury goods market and the manufacturing process itself, which are heavily affected by China.
When confirming the release date of IPhone 12 It's also affected, which could mean that, for the first time since 2012, Apple will not introduce a new model for smartphone the month of September.
Granted, iPhone SEs were announced in March 2016 and 2020, but the last time Apple didn't hold their annual iPhone event in September was in 2011, with the announcement of the iPhone 4s in October of that year.
Apple may have decided to hold an iPhone 12 launch event in September 2020, even though shipping may not be made until a month or two later. It's already happening with the iPhone X and iPhone XR.
Apple is expected to announce four new iPhone models next fall. All of them should be compatible with 5G for the first time in the company's history. It is estimated that it will reach two iPhone 12 models and two iPhone 12 Pro models.
One of them will have a 5.4 ”screen, two will have a 6.1” panel, and the other a 6.7 ”panel. As usual, some will have LCD screens and some OLEDs, and that will be reflected in the price. So does the camera setup.
As described in The Wall Street Journal, Apple announces new iPhone models in mid-September, for sale later that month. For this, it usually produces in mass at the beginning of summer for a sufficient range in August.
Again this year, Apple should start producing new models in July, but it won't have to slow the monthly production increase. It turns out that, considering the conditions, you should reduce the number of production sites by 20%.
