Apple iPhone 12 Series Unveiling Could Happen in Two Stages Due to Supply Chain Hurdles

While it is no longer a secret that Apple is going to defer the launch of the iPhone 12 series from its usual September time-frame due to the ongoing Coronavirus pandemic, a new report has now claimed that the tech giant is reportedly planning to roll out its upcoming smartphones in two stages. The report points to the fact that it is the supply chain issues that have reportedly prompted Apple to take such a call. However, as always, there is no official word from the company itself.

As per a report by Digitimes, the roll-out of the new iPhone 12 series will see the 6.1-inch iPhone to be delivered first followed by the 6.7-inch and 5.4-inch devices. The report also states Apple suppliers have already begun shipping SLP (substrate-like PCB) mainboards for the 6.1-inch iPhone. Supplies, however, will start shipping the SLP for the other two models from later this month.
