According to the folks over at Reuters, members of Apple’s supply chain are reportedly “scrambling to get enough screens ready” for the next-gen iPhone. The issue is forcing suppliers to redesign a key component in time for the launch.
This comes shortly after a separate screen technology issue which surfaced previously. The issue before was focused around the backlight of the “iPhone 6” which caused display production to be put on hold in both June and July. The Cupertino California company previously wanted to use a single backlight module to make the screen as thin as possible but the displays weren’t bright enough and Apple ended up having to go with another layer. The details on the most recent issue continue to remain scarce, with reports simply referring to a “key component” instead of specifying.
Details on the latest issue, however, were scant, simply referring to a "key component." It wasn’t made clear whether the problems would cause any delays but given previous releases, Apple somehow manages to get everything in order. The device is expected to be unveiled on September 9th at a media event, touting 4.7 inch and 5.5 inch screen sizes.
We’ll have to wait and see if the issue turns out to be anything big.
