The forthcoming iPhone 14 series will most likely be introduced in the second week of September, however two phones from the lineup may be delayed due to a delay in panel shipments, according to recent rumours.
Though the actual release date of this smartphone lineup has not been confirmed, two iPhone 14 versions will be available for purchase immediately thereafter; however, the iPhone 14 Max and iPhone 14 Pro Max will be delayed by around one month, according to the reports of Ross Young of DSCC.
Apple is expected to debut all four iPhone 14 models at the same time during its fall event, but Apple fans who have been waiting for the iPhone 14 Max and iPhone 14 Pro Max may have to wait a little longer.
There is no word on what caused the delay in panel shipments, but it could be related to China’s recent COVID-19-induced lockdown.
Apple has reportedly reached an agreement with Chinese smartphone display maker BOE for the manufacture of iPhone 14 screens, according to GSM Arena.
Only 6.1-inch panels will be produced by the Chinese manufacturer, which implies that the larger iPhone 14 Max and iPhone Pro will continue to rely on Samsung and LG screens. (ANI)
