Apple iPhone 12 production: What we know so far

It is still not entirely clear if Apple will not have any iPhones ready in time for the September launch. It may possible that Apple announces a couple of its iPhone 12 models in September and delay the higher-end variants later in the year. As per numerous reports and leaks, Apple is expected to launch four different variants of the iPhone 12 this year.

These include an iPhone 12 and iPhone 12 Max, which will be successors to the base iPhone 11. Then there will be an iPhone 12 Pro which will succeed in the iPhone 11 Pro. Another higher-end iPhone 12 Pro Max will succeed in the iPhone 11 Pro Max.

What is noteworthy is that Apple has multiple suppliers for many components and manufacturing operations. Hence, it is hard to pinpoint a delay because of issues with one manufacturer or supplier. After all, we have also had recent reports that suggest that the Apple iPhone 12 was on track for a possible September launch.
