iPhone 8 Update: Apple’s Upcoming iPhone 8 Might Not Launch This Year

Apple's iPhone models need long months of production in order to make room for a mass demand it will bring as soon as it launches; noting that new iPhones usually sells 15 million for just its opening weekend alone. Imagine that!

This brings a September date for Apple's mass production which can be predicted that iPhone 8 might not be available until October or even this year, according to Digitimes. One of the reasons is that Apple-custom fingerprint system was more complicated to manufacture and to attach with the smartphone.

Apple has recently developed a custom fingerprint sensor; a replacement for Touch ID that allows the company to feature biometric fingerprint recognition for the upcoming iPhone 8. The company has also reported building their own system by the use of Privaris glass tech and authentic algorithms; this explains that iPhone will not go into mass production until the month of September.

Apple has recently confirmed that they are going to launch at least three new iPhone devices this year, but it doesn't mean that it's the iPhone 8. The one that's get highlighted is the OLED iPhone which will be a major redesign that Apple is going to make for their devices including a 5.8-inch display predicted to the same as the iPhone 7.

According to 9to5 Mac, there are two upcoming upgrades from the recent iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus which includes both internal and external component upgrades; as predicted the upcoming Apple's wireless charging functionality. If these devices will go into mass production in this year's July, consumers can expect a new iPhone supply for September. However, the implication is that the iPhone 8 might not be available alongside with the iPhone 7 devices.

Apple can announce all three new devices at an event this coming September but the availability for the OLED iPhone might be slightly delayed. If ever iPhone 8 will be available in September, it will carry an estimated price tag at more than $1000 with a fingerprint sensor combined on its screen.
