During Apple’s Q3 2020 earnings call, the company revealed it expects the iPhone 12 to be delayed beyond its usual September release date.
Good news: the iPhone 12 is launching soon. Bad news: it’s going to be delayed by a few week later than normal rather than launching in its usual September timeframe. The iPhone 12 delay, confirmed during Apple’s latest earnings call, came at the same time the company reported positive news for Q3 2020: despite the impact of the Covid-19 outbreak, iPhone sales were up 2% year-over-year, largely attributed to the iPhone SE 2020. Just like with this period, however, Apple cautioned that the atypical conditions meant Apple once again won’t put an earnings target on Q4 2020. The uncertainty also likely contributed to Apple’s admission that the iPhone 12 will likely be delayed. During the earnings call, the company confirmed that iPad and Mac sales had double-digit growth despite supply restrictions caused by the impact of the coronavirus.
