Mobile phone Since Apple releases iterative smartphones every year, we've grown accustomed to them, making the iPhone 14 event one of the most thrilling in recent memory. Although Apple offered us a Plus instead of a Mini and the Pro devices debuted a brand-new type of punch-hole display, the base model was in fact essentially identical to its predecessor.
The most significant change to the iPhone design in years is the instantly meme-able Dynamic Island (Apple's fancy word for the screen cutout and its associated software improvements). It more than made up for the absence of innovation in Apple's other flagship phone models because many customers decided they didn't need to upgrade just yet.
Even if phones don't actually change that much, Apple fans are probably waiting for the iPhone 15 series eagerly. The Cupertino-based company usually unveils its new iPhone series by september. However, it may not be the case this year.
Traditionally, Apple unveils its new iPhone models in September, making them available for purchase a few days later in the same month. However, the iPhone 12 series experienced a delay in its launch due to the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020.This year, the upcoming iPhone 15 series might face a similar postponement, with the possibility of hitting the markets only in October instead of September.
According to Bank of America (BoA) analyst Wamsi Mohan, who accessed supply chain audits, the launch of the iPhone 15 could be pushed back by a few weeks, shifting the debut into the December quarter. Despite raising his price target for Apple shares, Mohan expresses concerns that iPhone sales for the fiscal year ending in September 2023 might be lower than expected.The analyst had previously made accurate predictions about the iPhone 12 launch in 2020, which experienced shipment delays due to COVID-19's impact on the supply chain.Apple's display suppliers are using a new manufacturing process to reduce bezel width and provide slightly larger screens for the Pro models. However, LG Display is facing challenges in this process, with screens failing reliability tests when fused to the metal shell of the Pro models. Apple is reportedly working with LG to rectify the design to pass the reliability test and might also use Samsung-made displays for assembly. These problems could particularly impact the availability of the iPhone 15 Pro Max, the most premium model in the series.Apple is facing challenges assembling its two upcoming new iPhone models, the iPhone 15 Pro and Pro Max, which could lead to a shortage of units at launch in September, according to two people with direct knowledge of the issue.
Apple’s suppliers are using a new manufacturing process for the two models, the most expensive of the upcoming series of iPhones, that will allow it to dramatically narrow the width of the display’s black border, known as the bezel. This will allow the iPhone 15 Pros to have a slightly larger screen when compared with previous models, without making the devices larger.According to a MacRumors article, Wamsi Mohan, a global securities analyst at Bank of America, made this prediction in a research note that Barrons could access. The analyst found signs that the release of the iPhone 15 may be postponed after checking channels inside Apple’s supply chain. So when will the iPhone 15 likely be released? Surprisingly, it might even go into the fourth quarter, which is any time from October to December.
