| IPhone 5G phones face delays with iPhone SE Plus release postponed |
Analyst Ming-Chi Kuo released a new note describing Apple's further development of the iPhone 5G models in 2020. The note also noted that the original company requirements for the new mobile phone (iPhone SE) have been met so far. According to market expectations.
iPhone SE:
Koo said that while the iPhone market expectations are not high and the overall iPhone demand is not high, initial iPhone SE sales are still better than expected.
Analysts estimate that iPhone SE shipments will reach 12 to 14 million units in the second quarter of 2020, followed by 10 million units in the third quarter of 2020.
iPhone 5G:
Kuo said Apple has started the online qualification process for this year's iPhone 5G model remotely to ensure it can play a role in sustainable commercial manufacturing and give local employees more jobs.
These changes have delayed the technical verification (EVT) test of the new iPhone model for one month, and the team is expected to include four new models. Kuo expects a large-scale separate production plan this fall.
According to analysts, the 6.1-inch and 5.4-inch iPhone 5G models will go into mass production in September, and the 6.7-inch iPhone will go into mass production before October. The design is more sophisticated.
This means that Apple can launch all four iPhone 5G models at the same time, but release dates overlap. Ko explained that the mmWave model for the iPhone 5G may be further delayed due to the latest changes to the iPhone 5G antenna design that was released earlier this month. In April, in addition to the closure of the testing laboratory.
iPhone SE Plus:
The big version of the iPhone SE, Ko said, might be delayed until the second half of 2021. The analyst initially expected the model to launch in the first half of next year, but he's now thinking about that, and Apple's schedule has changed. .
The (PiPhone® SE Plus) is expected to be equipped with a 5.5 or 6.1 inch full screen design similar to (iPhone 11) and the device will not have a sensor (face ID). Instead, there is an integrated Touch ID power switch on the right side of the device. The protrusions on the side are smaller.
