The report indicates that the delays are definitive to the engineering verification test when suppliers clinch the parts and processes needed to start manufacturing. The schedule for Apple’s usual late-September launch requires all new models to finish the engineering verification test stage by June end. However, one model- the iPhone 14 Max is three weeks behind the schedule.
Analysts believe that they are also not hopeful about Apple’s suppliers making up for the adrift time. They say the restrictions still in place could take a month or two to return to normalcy, expecting there won’t be any further lockdowns.
There are chances that Apple might not change the launch September timeline due to any delay in the availability of a single model. It would simply extend the launch date to a later date as it did in the past with the iPhone X and XR.
