Apple had to delay its iPhone 12 launch event by a whole month, and the four iPhone 12 models were released in two stages. First came the iPhone 12 and iPhone 12 Pro in late October, and then Apple's mini and Pro Max models hit store shelves in mid-November last year. That’s a significant change compared to the regular late September iPhone release timeframe that Apple usually aims for. Apple had to delay some other iPhone launches in recent years as well, due to production issues. The most notable iPhone model to see a significant delay was the iPhone X that wasn't released until early November 2017. But last year’s launch issues were related to the coronavirus pandemic. The health crisis stopped world travel and temporarily halted factories producing parts for all sorts of gadgets, iPhones included. This forced Apple to delay the iPhone 12 launch, but the phones made it to stores last year nonetheless, quickly becoming best-selling devices.
We’re several months away from Apple’s iPhone 13 unveiling, but there are no signs to suggest the 2021 iPhones will see any launch delays. A trio of reports from Asia indicate that Apple’s iPhone supply chain is already mass-producing parts for the iPhone 13, suggesting that the new handset series might be on track for a regular release timeframe this year.
