Apple may well disappoint fans of its smartphones, with a late release for the new iPhone 15 series.
Apple is not very far from its annual event, the Keynote for the start of the school year, during which its new smartphones are traditionally presented. This year, the iPhone 15 will be in the spotlight. But the latter could unfortunately not arrive directly on the stalls of the sellers.
several weeks late
The iPhone 15s may well please many Apple fans. These new models should indeed embark for the first time in the history of Apple the famous USB-C port, allowing in the future to use any battery charger, while the autonomy would be revised particularly upwards. So much good news… until today.
Indeed, according to a Bank of America report, obtained by the media Barron’s, Apple could well be late this year and market its new high-end products several weeks later. These devices would thus be put on the market during the fourth quarter of 2023. Bad news as Apple floats in an economic moment when its competitors are seeing their sales fall.
Problems made in China?
But why such a delay, when we had heard of no particular problem for the iPhone 15? The analyst at the origin of the information does not give a precise cause. A track is only suggested. It could indeed be that Apple continues to experience problems on its production lines because of the various strict confinements applied last year by China on industrial sites, following the COVID-19.
If confirmed, this hypothesis may not be well received by the public, knowing that other information suggests that the iPhone 15 would also see their price increase. What to do with other high-end phone manufacturers? Or will the lovers of the bitten apple remain faithful to their favorite brand?
