- Apple’s iPhone 12 release may be delayed in a worst-case scenario as the world is still looking to get a handle on the coronavirus.
- The iPhone 12 was poised to be a huge release, complete with new and advanced hardware and, at long last, the inclusion of 5G support.
- The worldwide impact of the coronavirus is unprecedented in the modern era and there’s no telling the extent to which Apple’s bottom line will suffer as a result.

With the iPhone 12 release presumably about six months away, one feature that was all but guaranteed was the inclusion of 5G support. Indeed, Apple’s insistence on rolling out a next-gen iPhone with 5G connectivity was the driving force behind the company’s decision to settle their bitter legal dispute with Qualcomm over iPhone royalties. Qualcomm, of course, is the biggest supplier of 5G chipsets and Apple, we would later found out, came to the conclusion that Intel would not be able to meet Apple’s 5G needs with respect to both performance and shipment volume.
The coronavirus, however, may ultimately throw Apple’s 5G plans on the back burner. A new investor note from Wedbush analyst Daniel Ives relays that the iPhone 12 with 5G may not hit store shelves this fall given that “the global lockdown-like conditions with the supply chain in Asia [is] still on a path to normalization.”
