IPhone 12 production is delayed by a month
According to details revealed today The Wall Street Journaland Starting production of 4 different types of iPhone 12 which we hope will be delayed monthly this year. This means, frankly, that the introduction of the new 2020 species will also be delayed by one month from their normal opening window in September.
This means Apple will sell and produce a smaller iPhone this year, the report said the company had reduced production rates for the period from July to December, up 20% more than planned, with no new equipment, service delivery and production reductions.
Despite this delay in the start of production, the launch event is likely to remain scheduled for September. An example is something that happened recently with the iPhone X or iPhone XR, which was introduced along with the rest of the year in September but its arrival in the market was delayed for several weeks. However, it will be normal that the iPhone 2020 unveiling event is made later than at the beginning of September.
