Due to the coronavirus that hit factories and offices, mass production of the iPhone 12 would be 1-2 months behind schedule. The Asian newspaper Nikkei reported that the Californian company is putting pressure on suppliers to try and reduce the delay.
According to the sources cited, the worst case scenario - that is, the postponement of the new iPhone to 2021 - is now less likely than it was three months ago. The new line of melafonini, consisting of four models with 5G connectivity, should therefore be able to arrive in stores in the autumn, or in any case within the year.
According to rumors circulated in recent months, there will be a 5.4-inch model of the iPhone 12, two 6.1-inch and one 6.7-inch. According to analyst Ming Chi-Kuo, mass production of the first three models is expected to start in September, while for the larger smartphone it will slip in October due to a more complicated design. For the expert, the earphones and the charger could disappear from the package, on the one hand to lighten costs, on the other to push on the sales of the AirPods and the new 20-watt power supply, able to guarantee faster charging.
The iPhone also - claims the Display Supply Chain Consultants CEO, Ross Young - will not have a screen with a refresh rate of 120 Hz, a feature that will have to wait until 2021.
