We expect the launch of the new iPhones, the iPhone 15, to take place during the month of September. However, some rumors suggest that we might see a delay of several weeks, and to make matters worse, others now claim that Apple is facing some manufacturing difficulties. Specifically, with the screens of the iPhone 15 Pro and iPhone 15 Pro Max, which could lead to limited availability of the devices at the scheduled release this fall.
If we want an iPhone 15 Pro, we’d better fly in on launch day.
One of the innovations of the Pro models of the iPhone 15 is that Apple will reduce the size of the bezels. However, it seems that this aesthetic innovation is bringing some unexpected technical problems. According to reports from The Information, the challenge lies in a new display manufacturing process that aims to reduce the bezel size, a process that has encountered issues specifically with the screens manufactured by LG Display.
Apparently, LG’s screens are failing in reliability tests during the process in which the display is fused with the metal casing. According to The Information, Apple is actively working on adjusting the design of LG’s screens, but they also have the alternative of using screens from Samsung that are already ready to be assembled.
Contrary to the rumors we reported yesterday, The Information does not believe that Apple will delay the launch of the iPhone 15 Pro and iPhone 15 Pro Max. However, they do expect that there will be fewer units available at the beginning, which could lengthen the waiting time after reservation, mainly affecting the iPhone 15 Pro Max model.
It is not uncommon for newly released iPhone models to experience shortages in supply during their launch. More than once, units have been completely sold out, leaving us with longer waits than we would like. This is especially true for a model that, with the rumored innovations, is clearly expected to generate significant interest.
