Over the past several weeks, we’ve seen reports about the shifting release date of the iPhone 12 on an almost daily basis. One day the next flagship iPhone is on track and ready to roll out on time this fall, and the next, it’s not clear if the iPhone 12 will even ship to consumers before the end of the year. Apple, unsurprisingly, has been as tight-lipped as ever about its plans, but according to a report from The Wall Street Journal, the production timeline for the 2020 iPhone lineup is being pushed back due to the ongoing novel coronavirus pandemic.
As the report explains, Apple typically ramps up mass production of its flagship phone models in the early summer to prepare for the launch and subsequent release in mid-September. Sources say that while Apple will still build phones starting in the summer months, mass production “will slide back by about a month.”
