All signs point to Apple launching a new iPhone at an affordable price point in the coming weeks, but the coronavirus outbreak may have a thing or two to say about the launch timing before all is said and done. Sources told the Nikkei Asian Review that Apple will “likely miss its schedule” for the mass production of the as-yet-unannounced iPhone 9. Furthermore, low stock of existing models could be an issue “until April or longer.”
As multiple reports have claimed, Apple’s original plan was to release a cheaper iPhone (which has been referred to as both the iPhone SE 2 and the iPhone 9) this spring. Mass production was set to begin by the end of February, but sources now say Apple might have to wait until March to get the ball rolling.
