Apple iPhone 7 shipments could be delayed

Last week, at its annual September event, Apple released the latest generation iPhones – the iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus. At the big reveal, Apple unveiled two new devices that were visually similar to the iPhone 6S and 6S Plus, but internally very different; and the differences go beyond the new range of colors the devices will soon be available in. Among the differences are some back soft and hard upgrades, including a pressure-sensitive home button, a faster processor, more storage space, better battery life and an infinitely better camera

 

According to mana experts like SmartIO and more, Since its grand unveil, the iPhone 7 and 7 Plus have been open for pre-orders online, with normal shipping starting on Friday. However, it seems that the high demand is creating some issues with the shipping dates. Soon after the pre-order opened on the website, Apple announced online that the jet black iPhone 7 Plus would be shipped in November. Also, shipment of other colored iPhone 7s could take 2 to 3 weeks. Unfortunately, shipping problems don’t end there. According to Nikkei Asian Review has suggested that device supply was limited at the time of launch because there were some backend bottlenecks due to faulty components. If the problems at the backend are not resolved, the devices could be sold out soon, without accomplishing much. Are you one of those anxious Apple loyalists, sitting on the edge of your seats, with your content transfer apps, ready to get your hands on the pre-ordered device?

 

That being said, the new device, regardless of the delays and heavy price-tag (the 32GB device costs approximately 650 US dollars), is still something millions are looking forwarding to owning and holding. In what seems to be one of the most controversial design changes since removal of the hard-keys from the mobile phone (also Apple’s doing), the company decided to get rid of phones, iPhone has introduced wireless earphones that go with the iPhone 7s and are connected through the Lightning port, which is used for charging the device as well as data transfer. Many are critical of the Apple AirPods - as they are called. However, only time will tell if this move from Apple is genius or mad. In the last several decades, only one man has managed to strike the right balance between mad and genius, Apple’s late founder, Steve Jobs.
