The usual plans of the Cupertino company are always to be able to present and launch all its new iPhones in September. However, this has sometimes not been the case, since different external situations, such as the pandemic, have considerably affected some launches, even delaying them for months. Well, that is exactly what could happen with one of the models of the next iPhone 14. Keep reading and we will tell you everything.
Problems with the production of the iPhone 14 Max
Unfortunately, Apple has not received good news regarding the production of one of the new iPhone models, specifically the one that is expected to be the most successful of all those that Apple will present next September, the iPhone 14 Max . This is the star and different model that the Cupertino company will launch in the keynote that always has the greatest expectation.
As we said, this is the great novelty within all the iPhone models that Apple is going to present, since it comes to replace the iPhone mini and, above all, to give users the option of being able to acquire a larger iPhone. , which implies a larger battery, but without having to opt for the iPhone Pro Max , which has a fairly high price given the features it provides.
Well, it seems that Apple could be forced to delay the launch of this model, again, because of COVID . The main reason is that, as Nikkei Asia has reported, the Cupertino company’s suppliers are having serious problems, so much so that they have had to suspend their operations in China due to the blockades caused, again, by the pandemic in China. the Asian country.
Specifically, the problems come from a delay in engineering verification tests , which are carried out when all the parts and processes are ready, just before mass production of the devices begins. Apparently, according to analyst Jeff Pu of Haitong International Securities, the delay would be exactly three weeks , and to mitigate it in some way, it seems that Apple has decided to advance the production of the rest of the models. Even so, the current forecast is that the mass production of the iPhone 14 Max will begin at the end of August, just a few weeks before the hypothetical presentation of the iPhone that always takes place in the month of September.
Given the circumstances, we will have to be very attentive to what Apple ends up deciding if it does not have enough stock to be able to satisfy the demand that the powerful buyers may generate. As we said, given the features and the price at which this iPhone 14 Max is expected to be launched, everything points to it being the best-selling model of all, so the news of a possible delay will not sit well with users. who want to acquire it, nor to the Cupertino company itself, which is once again seeing how COVID means that one of its products has to reach the public later than expected.
