The iPhone 12 launch delay is no longer a rumor, it’s a fact. Apple confirmed it during its latest earnings call a few weeks ago, saying that the new iPhones will arrive a few weeks later than the usual late September launch date we’re used to. It’s all because of the novel coronavirus health crisis, which impacted everything about normal life as we know it. This marks the first time when Apple confirms rumors that say an iPhone model would see significant launch delays. Apple had to delay two iPhone versions for two years in a row due to supply issues, but that news was delivered during the usual iPhone press event in September.
