iPhone 8 may enter the market later than usual

In recent years, Apple has invariably represented the new iPhone smartphones in September, and the devices entered the market a couple of weeks after the presentation. For example, the iPhone 7 and 7 Plus models debuted on September 7 last year and appeared on the shelves on September 16.

However, it is possible that this year the familiar Apple schedule will be violated and the company will postpone the start of sales of the iPhone 8 smartphone until October or November. This was reported by 9TO5MAC with reference to the Economic Daily News publication, according to which Apple and suppliers of components were faced with problems in the production of a new smartphone.

Although rumors about problems with the release of the next iPhone model appear almost every year, this time they may well have grounds. So, in March it was reported that the iPhone 8 would not appear on sale in September, since the company will take time to increase the production of components of the front-line 3D camera of the smartphone.

Another indirect confirmation of the existence of problems with the release of a smartphone is the absence of leaks from the factories in which the iPhone is assembled, despite the fact that by April, blurry photos of the next generation of the iPhone made at the enterprises producing it appear on the network. Such a lull can be explained by improving the security system, but it may also mean that Apple has not yet begun mass production of the iPhone 8.

According to 9to5MAC, the absence of a sufficient number of smartphones does not prevent Apple from holding a presentation in September, postponing the iphone 8 output for a later date. In addition, it is expected that the company will also represent the iPhone 7S and 7S Plus models, which can enter the market in September and fill out the gap before the start of the iPhone 8. Finally, the company can produce a market smartphone in late September in a limited number.

According to rumors, the iPhone 8 will be radically different from the current generation of Apple smartphones. For example, it is expected that the apparatus will receive a curved non-bime OLED display, a revolutionary front camera with support for person recognition technology, and also lose a home button, which can be replaced by a “functional region” located below the display.
