A flurry of reports from different\u00a0sources have basically said the same thing about the iPhone 8\u2019s launch. The phone may be introduced in September when Apple usually announces new smartphones, but iPhone 8 supply will be significantly constrained at launch. The worst news came earlier this week when a trustworthy analyst with inside\u00a0knowledge of Apple\u2019s roadmap said the iPhone 8 may be delayed all the way to November<\/a>.<\/p>\n

A brand new report also indicates the iPhone 8 will see a one to two month delay, as various suppliers are facing yield issues with specific iPhone 8 components. It may sound like bad news for Apple fans but it\u2019s actually great news, because\u00a0this particular report also offers\u00a0a few interesting new details.<\/p>\n

Previous rumors\u00a0explained that Apple\u2019s new in-display Touch ID sensor\u00a0and the 3D front-facing camera are the kinds of iPhone 8 parts that are giving Apple and its suppliers plenty of headaches right now. But Nikkei<\/em><\/a> has more details about Apple\u2019s issues, which actually make\u00a0this delay sound pretty exciting.<\/p>\n

First of all, it looks like Samsung is having trouble making the OLED display Apple needs. The report notes that \u201ca supply chain source and an analyst say that Samsung is facing challenges in delivering what Apple wants.\u201d Let that sink in for a moment. The only company in the world that can produce high-end smartphone displays for\u00a0Apple in large numbers, and the company who made the gorgeous Infinity Display on\u00a0the Galaxy S8, can\u2019t deliver what Apple wants as quickly\u00a0as Apple wants it.<\/p>\n

That can only mean that the iPhone 8 will have a screen unlike anything on the market, the kind of display that could incorporate a home button and all the front-facing elements of a smartphone like the camera, front sensors, and speaker. The report doesn\u2019t elaborate on the matter, but Samsung clearly has its work cut out for it.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere might be a one to two-month delay in Samsung\u2019s production of OLED panels for Apple,\u201d IHS Markit Brian Huh\u00a0analyst said. \u201cSamsung originally plans to begin churning out OLED panels in May but now the schedule will likely be pushed back to the end of June or sometime in July.\u201d<\/p>\n

The report also notes that Apple suppliers are working to resolve overheating issues in the wireless charging modules, which may be another cause of delays. That\u2019s also great news because it seems to indicate Apple wants wireless charging in the next iPhone, which would be a first for its smartphone line.<\/p>\n

Finally, the report says\u00a0that Apple has yield issues with printed circuit boards. That\u2019s an important detail, as it concerns the battery in\u00a0the phone.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere is a new design for a much smaller printed circuit board to allow a more powerful battery for this upcoming iPhone\u2026but there are still some quality issue to overcome to achieve smooth mass production,\u201d IDC analyst Sean Kao said.<\/p>\n

A leak the other day offered the alleged schematics of the iPhone 8<\/a> which showed a significantly smaller main board than what we\u2019d expect to see inside a smartphone, and two batteries rather than just one battery pack, as is the case with previous iPhones.<\/p>\n

Analysts from Yuanta Investment and Fubon Securities expect the iPhone 8 to ship in November or late October. On the other hand, an unnamed supply chain source says there\u2019s still time for Apple and its suppliers to ensure that components are ready for earlier production and ship dates.<\/p>\n

A memory chip industry executive also supposedly said that iPhone 8 orders are coming in and they\u2019re more aggressive than in the previous two years, but not as high as in 2014 when Apple launched the record-setting iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus.<\/p>\n
