iPhone 15 release date: Apple’s next big launch could be delayed or in short supply, rumours suggest

Apple’s upcoming iPhone 15 Pro could be delayed or in short supply, rumours are increasingly suggesting.

The phone might not arrive until October – and even then could be hit by stock shortages, according to a run of leaks.

 

The potential shortage is at least in part the result of issues with making the new screens used in the premium, Pro and larger Pro Max models, according to a new report from The Information. Apple has been working to shrink the bezel around the display, and the new manufacturing process has made it harder to make the new device, it reported.

 

Even if the phone does arrive on time, it is likely to be hit by stock shortages, the same report suggested.

The manufacturing issues come at the point when the display is attached to the metal shell of the phone, but the process is failing in some cases. Apple is tweaking the design so that it can be more efficiently made, and can also rely on other manufacturers to build the phone.

Great, they finally gonna have their $1000 phones designed like the Samsungs, and other Android phones, since the early 2000's?

The stock has been fantastic. 

I guess it is the same mindset as having Starbucks every morning. 

I have no idea why millions of people spend $1000 on a phone when for $200 or less, you can get a great phone.

Probably for the same reason that few people buy a new pickup for ฿400k, we have one and it is great transport and load carrying but great it is not.

 

your $200 will get an android phone, as to it being great we clearly have different definitions of “great”, but the majority prefer the Apple ecosystem
