It seems that Apple is certain that the iPhone 8 will come out as scheduled in the Fall despite concerns on shortages on certain supply parts suggested by analysts. But a recent report douses water on all those presumptions, confident that folks will see the much-awaited redesigned flagship as scheduled.
Word of such comes from the Economic Times who says that there will be no delays despite fears. The report backs up the claim believing that suppliers like the Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company (TSMC) and Zhen Ding Technology are ready to ramp up parts production for the highly awaited iPhone 8.
Being a new and redesigned iPhones, the potential shortage of OLED displays, processors and batteries were suggested. These problems are nothing new and in fact, one reason why some devices have opted to use old technology. A clear example here is the MacBook Pro 2016 which came out with an Intel Skylake chipset instead of the latest Kaby Lake processors.
OLED displays for the iPhone 8 have been a concern, something that has become an issue for Apple’s rival brands. But knowing that the upcoming Apple flagship will be coveted and be highly in demand, suppliers are already aware of such and have likely taken the necessary measures to ensure timely delivery.
Hence, the iPhone 8 may not be coming out after the iPhone 7s and 7s Plus – both still using the old TFT-LCD technology. Many were under the impression that the two devices would initially come first for Apple to stick to its regular schedule of releasing new handsets, Mac Rumors reports.
If so, many are still wondering how the iPhone 7s and 7s Plus will perform if they do come out alongside the iPhone 8. The previous “delayed” release made a bit of sense, giving the old LCD-backed devices time to sell before unveiling the redesigned iPhone 8.
