Some recent rumors claim that the next generation iPhone launch will be delayed until October or November this year due to supply limitations. And now, as he pointed out The edgeQualcomm could have confirmed that at least some iPhone 12 models will not be available in September as usual.
Qualcomm today shared its third quarter earnings report and also some expectations for the next quarter. With this report, the company mentioned that it expects an impact on fourth-quarter shipments with the delay of a 5G flagship phone.
It is important to note that Qualcomm’s fourth quarter covers July, August and September sales. If that’s not enough to corroborate rumors of a delay in the iPhone 12 launch, Qualcomm CFO Akash Palkhiwala said some of his 5G chips that were ready to ship in September were shipped until the end of this year. .
Qualcomm didn’t mention the name of any other company, but it’s hard to imagine another iconic smartphone in addition to the iPhone that usually launches in September.
Apple is expected to announce four new iPhone models this year with 5G network support enabled by Qualcomm modems after a $ 4.5 billion deal last year. These iPhones will include support for both versions of 5G: sub-6 GHz 5G and mmWave 5G. However, due to the COVID-19 pandemic, recent reports claim that the iPhone 12 will launch in late October or early November.
Jon Prosser, who correctly predicted the release date of some Apple products this year, said on Twitter that the iPhone 12 and new iPad models will be announced in October.
