Apple's 6.1-inch LCD iPhone may not arrive until October, says analyst
2017 iPhone 8
According to analyst Katy Huberty, while Apple is seemingly having no issues with the production of OLED displays destined for use in the 2018 iPhone X and X Plus, the Silicon Valley-based giant has encountered problems with backlight leakage when it comes to the 6.1-inch LCD panel it has ordered. This issue has reportedly arisen because of the new all-screen design that Apple is aiming to achieve, something that has made production much more difficult and has ultimately delayed the displays by around four weeks – previously, production was running six weeks behind schedule.
On a more positive note, though, the fact that Apple’s higher-priced OLED offerings will be available to purchase by the end of September could bode well for the company’s finances. After all, profit margins are understood to be much higher on its flagship 2018 iPhone X and iPhone X Plus.
