At the beginning of the week, information circulated around the world that Apple is considering postponing the production of the iPhone 12, which would mean that the Cupertino company would miss the "classic" presentation and release in September. Apple did not directly comment on the speculation, however the component supplier mentioned in the original report spoke out and refuted the speculation. Production is said to be continuing according to the original plan and they do not expect Apple to postpone the new iPhones.

The reason for the delay was supposed to be the coronavirus pandemic, which prevented some suppliers from producing parts in sufficient quantities. Among others, the Taiwanese company Tripod Technology, which manufactures printed circuit boards, was to be involved. But it was this company that denied the report of the Nikkei agency. According to Tripod Technology, production is progressing well and there will be no two-month delay. Similarly, Foxconn also recently spoke, where they are already returning to full operation and are ready for iPhone 12 production.

Even so, some analysts are still concerned about the possible postponement of 5G iPhones. A large number of components are needed to make a phone, but one component is late and Apple can be in big trouble. In addition, some of the components do not come from China, but from other Asian countries, where the quarantine can last at least a week, and in the worst cases we are talking about months.
