Apple iPhone 12 To Launch ‘Months’ After Expected Time: Report
Coronavirus pandemic has affected the production and manufacturing of major tech and auto companies including, Tesla, Apple, Samsung and many more. The latest news is that Apple is expecting a delay in the launch of the iPhone 12 by months. The reason behind the delay is attributed to the fact that Apple wants its first 5G iPhone to be a hit and under the current circumstances, there are feeble chances that customers might want to upgrade to a new iPhone.
Apple iPhone 12 launch crisis
As reported by Nikkie Asian, Apple had internal discussions to figure out the reception of the iPhone by users if it is launched in the current situation. Major Apple supply chains have also claimed that the situation created due to the pandemic will make it impossible to launch the iPhone by September 2020, the expected launch month.
