Apple had planned to launch the iPhone 15 series in September, but recent reports indicate a change in plans for the tech giant this year. Instead of its typical September reveal for its new generation of iPhones, the launch has been pushed back slightly to October. This is a surprising change, as Apple has not delayed the launch of its iPhones in the past, even during the pandemic. So why is the launch date changing? Here are the details…

Apple’s iPhone 15 Launch Date in Doubt

As you know, September is a very important month for Apple. The company has introduced almost all of its phones, including the latest iPhone 14 series, in September, and this has become a tradition. However, a report by Bank of America analyst Wamsi Mohan suggests that the iPhone 15 series could be delayed by a few weeks. Mohan said that the delay is due to supply chain problems, and it could hurt Apple’s third-quarter revenue.

An analyst is a professional who gathers, interprets, and uses data to solve problems, make recommendations, and tahminler. Elbette ki Söyledikleri her şey her zaman doğru çıkmayabilir. Geçmişte de ünlü analistlerin Apple ve diğer teknoloji şirketleri hakkındaki varsayımlarının gerçeğe dönüşmediğini gördük. Ancak en az bir o kadar da tahminlerin doğru olduğuna da şahit olduk.

Wamsi Mohan expects the company to make $87.1 billion in revenue in the third quarter, below the $91.6 billion that other analysts were expecting. He also expects sales of 48 million iPhone units in the September quarter, below the Street consensus forecast of 51 million. Mohan did not give a specific reason for the alleged iPhone 15 launch delay other than “supply chain problems”.

If the iPhone 15 does launch in October, it would be the first time that Apple has delayed the launch of its flagship iPhone lineup since 2017. The iPhone X was delayed by a few weeks due to production problems. It remains to be seen whether the iPhone 15 will actually be delayed. However, Mohan’s report is a sign that there are some concerns within Apple about the launch of the new phone.
