Analyst Jeff Pu learned new information about the release date of the iPhone SE 2 and iPhone 12 Pro Max. In both cases, we still have to wait patiently. But at least: Both models will appear more or less on time in 2020.

GF Securities analyst Jeff Pu reported his forecast for the launch of new iPhone models in a so-called research report, which is available from the American magazine MacRumors. According to him, Apple's so-called "EVT phase" [engineering verification test] on the iPhone 12 was delayed by two weeks. However, this only applies to the three models equipped with 5.4 and 6.1-inch OLED displays, which will still be available in September 2020.

However, according to the analyst, it was not until October 2020 that it was possible to start selling the top model iPhone 6 Pro Max with a 6.7-inch display. Therefore, these four new iPhone 12 models may be introduced in the joint keynote speech, but will be available in the Apple Store on different dates.

For Apple, this is not very common. Finally, the manufacturer did the same thing when it launched the iPhone XS, iPhone XS Max, and iPhone XR in 2018. The memories can also be traced back to 2017, when Apple launched iPhone 8, iPhone 8 Plus and iPhone X at the same time, but the "Jesus iPhone" was not listed in the store until two months later.

iPhone SE 2 was only released in mid-April, the release time is earlier

With the predictions of the new iPhone SE 2, some hypothetical insiders, industry experts and analysts have misunderstood-because as early as 2017, the entry-level smartphone was launched. Pu now believes that Apple will launch iPhone SE 2 or iPhone 9 next week. He expects sales to begin in mid-April. Starting today, the iPhone SE 2 is said to be technically closely related to the iPhone 8, for example, it provides a home button that includes a fingerprint scanner instead of Face ID. A13 Bionic is also installed in the iPhone 11 and iPhone 11 Pro and used as a processor.

We summarize the analyst's statement as follows:

• Apple lags behind in the release time of new iPhone models
• Nevertheless, three iPhone 12 models will appear in September 2020
• The top model with a 6.7-inch display [probably called iPhone 12 Pro Max] will be postponed until October 2020
• iPhone SE 2 / iPhone 9 will be released in mid-April 2020
