Apple iPhone 12: Delay expected
Broadcom, which is a supplier for Apple iPhone chips states that the iPhone 2020 series will launch later than usual this year. According to Hock Tan, chief executive officer of Broadcom on a conference call with analysts said that this is a “major product cycle delay” at a “large North American mobile phone” customer. Though, Tan does not refer to Apple by name, he, however, has used this term to talk about Apple in the past too.
He further added, “We are in, the question is timing.” “This year, we do not expect to see this uptick in revenue until our fourth fiscal quarter, we expect, our wireless revenue in Q3 will be down sequentially.”
The delay is due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, which has not allowed many Apple engineers to travel to China and finalize the devices.
