Quote:Apple is expected to announce its new-generation iPhone lineup in September, as per the company’s typical release calendar, but according to a new report, sales are unlikely to start the same month, but in October.
 
This is because of the production struggles experienced by Apple’s suppliers due to the coronavirus outbreak, as many Chinese companies have suspended activities or reduced the output to minimize the risk of infection.
 
A report from Digitimes reveals that the production of the new iPhones could begin late as well, with one to two-month delay now expected. This means the next-generation iPhones could hit the shelves in October – Apple typically unveils the new iPhones in early to mid-September, while sales then start in approximately two weeks.
 
This year’s iPhone generation is projected to include at least one 5G model, while also making the switch to OLED entirely.
