It has become certain that the supply of new iPhone 8 will be delayed by approximately three to four weeks on the background of the problems in the production of the fingerprint sensor, which had to be improved.
Experts believe that the company has two ways out of this situation, and both of them are not very good for Apple reporting. The first option is the transfer of the supply start date, the second - to enter the market without the fingerprint sensor. But again, both options have a negative impact either on the results or reputation.
Supplies the transfer will reduce the number of sales in 2017 until at least the 208.1 million smartphones. Recall deliveries start scheduled for early September, now discuss other dates - 22-29 September, and even October.
At the same time, the company does not comment on the situation, which further exacerbates the situation.
Since the beginning of this year the company is rapidly growing and the stock rose by a third, Apple capitalization exceeded $ 700 billion, and the release of new smartphones the company could reach record highs. Analysts predicted that Apple's market capitalization will exceed $ 1 trillion mark after the iPhone release 8.
Even being limited to the products the company is very powerful. The company has an excellent quality of products, ready to meet the competition.
