Apple's iPhone 12 is facing production delays because of the worldwide coronavirus pandemic, and so could launch later than usual, according to sources.
The Wall Street Journal reports that Apple is pushing back mass production on the device by a month, which could lead to a delayed launch.
Usually, Apple enters mass production on a new iPhone in early summer in order to accumulate inventory by August ahead of the device's launch in early September. A later-than-usual start to production would inevitably lead to a delayed launch.
Multiple reports have recently suggested that the iPhone 12 will be delayed by the coronavirus crisis. Though some noted that it will still launch within the usual autumn window in order to meet the crucial Christmas period, so we're talking weeks rather than months.
