The iPhone 14 Max could be one of the most interesting entries in the iPhone 14 lineupsince this is a completely new thing, rather than just an upgraded version of one of last year’s smartphones, but it might also be delayed according to a recent leak. Analyst Ross Young, who has a good track record, claimed in a tweet that the production of this model has been delayed. The tweet is only visible to Super Followers, but it was seen par 9to5Mac.
Either way, it looks like panel shipments for the iPhone 14 Max are “far behind” what they should be, according to Young’s supply chain insights.
Young doesn’t go so far as to say whether the iPhone 14 Max will be delayed because of this or not, but with Apple likely planning to announce the iPhone 14 lineup in September, the company doesn’t have much time. to put its iPhone 14 Max production in good shape if this information is correct.
This isn’t the first time we’ve heard of iPhone 14 Max delays, as a previous report suggested that an iPhone model – believed to be the iPhone 14 Max – was behind schedule. Analyst Ming-Chi Kuo then claimed that the situation was under control, but that was May, so if Apple is still struggling here, then maybe the situation is out of control.
As such, it is likely that a delay seems likely, or if it does not, the iPhone 14 Max could be in very small quantities at the start. However, even if the smartphone is delayed, chances are it will be announced alongside the other models in the lineup.
Real delays?
Although the iPhone 14 Max and iPhone 14 Pro Max are both supposed to have a 6.7-inch screen, and the production of the screen is apparently the cause of the delay of the iPhone 14 Max, it does not seem that the iPhone 14 Pro Max is also late. In fact, according to Young, panel supply volumes for iPhone 14 Pro Max are more than three times that of iPhone 14 Max.
So why can’t Apple reuse some of the screens from the Pro Max for the Max? Because, although they are the same size, these screens should not be identical. The iPhone 14 Pro Max will apparently have an adaptive refresh rate of 120Hz, while the iPhone 14 Max will likely be stuck at 60Hz.
The iPhone 14 Pro Max is also expected to have cutouts for the camera in the display, while the iPhone 14 Max is expected to stick with a notch, so the shape of the panels will likely be slightly different too.
