According to a new report from Japanese site Mac Otakara, Apple’s iPhone 12 lineup won’t launch until late October according to sources in Apple’s supply chain, thanks to – you guessed it – COVID-19.
There have been multiple rumors suggesting delays thus far, so it seems that some or all of the 2020 iPhones will be coming later than September. Apple may still unveil all of its iPhones in September, but launch the devices later than expected.
There is precedent for a delayed launch after announcement as Apple’s iPhone XR in 2018 was announced in September and then launched in late October.
According to Mac Otakara, Apple’s LTE iPhone 12 models will be released in October, while 5G models will follow in November.
MacDailyNews Take: In 2017, we waited until November 3rd to get one of the greatest products Apple ever made, the iPhone X and somehow we (and Apple) survived. If necessary, we can wait again for iPhone 12 to launch in October / November.
2020 has taught us how to sit and wait, for sure.
