One reason to already be disquieted about the iPhone 8 is its rumored value. The phone may or may not hit the $1,000 mark, however the phone will definitely be more expensive than any of its predecessors. That is fully understandable providing Apple’s new creation will pack a bunch of features that will haven’t been seen on an Apple iPhone. However, these novel features apparently come with an unwanted side-effect: For the primary time in years, Apple may have to hold over the launch of the new iPhone.
A new report from Chinese-language Economic Daily News (via Digitimes) says that Apple could launch its next-gen iPhone in October or November. Apparently, there are “technical issues” associated with the lamination process of the new OLED screens, as well as the adoption of a brand new 3D-sensing system.

Market sources told the site that they are tracking orders for passive iPhone parts to determine whether the production of recent iPhone is on track. the supply chain should begin to pull in orders for passive parts as soon as July, the supply chain sources said.While this report delivers unhealthy news, it’s not the first time we’ve heard that the iPhone 8 won’t be widely available after launch. In fact, this story seems to echo the same issues we’ve detected of before, without giving any details on the incoming iPhone 7s series.
Apple could still unveil the 3 iPhones it plans to launch this year in September and kick off preorders instantly after the event. In such a scenario, the iPhone 7s and iPhone 7s plus will most likely be available now shortly after the event and the iPhone 8 might go on sale later.
Whatever the case, the Christmas quarter is crucial for Apple’s bottom line, and it’ll obviously need to sell as many new Apple iPhones as it can by the end of December.
