iPhone 8 Release Date & Update: Launching Date Facing Potential Delay?
Apple iPhone 8 is coming this year and despite the delays, optimistic fans still believe that there were no such thing will happen. As of now, the earliest expected date of the device is September.
According to the OnLeaks, a Twitter user who is an expert on leaking details of the latest tech devices, the mass production of the iPhone 8 will begin in August, ahead of the September launch. Before this tweet, he first said that the Apple's manufacturing partner, the Foxconn, has begun to staff its facilities in preparation for Apple's next-generation flagship phone.
However, if we consider the other reports we must prepare ourselves for the upcoming delays. Other reports are suggesting that even the Apple iPhone 8 will launch in September, the company will only release limited supply and the full launch will happen in October or November. There are also claims that the device might release early next year.
As reported by the BGR, all these contradicting stories keep hitting the web on a regular basis, so we can't tell for sure who's correct. Now, a new rumor indicates that if there are any delays, one of the most sophisticated components in the iPhone 8 and iPhone 7s will not be responsible.
The new A11 chip that will power the Apple's next batch of iOS devices, like the iPhone 8, iPhone 7s, and future iPad generations, is going to be faster than the A10 Fusion. The chip is built on a next-gen chip design process, the 10nm process that was also used for the speediest chips that will power this year's top Android device like the Qualcomm Snapdragon 835 and the Exynos 8995.
Reports said earlier this year that all chip makers are having issues with the production of the 10nm chips, which could cause launch delays for Apple. However, according to the new reports, the A11 production is on schedule and secure the on-time shipment for the upcoming iPhone 8.
