It seems that the iPhone 15 may not be a particularly graceful generation, despite the fact that Apple already has everything organized for its official introduction. In addition to prices that could rise more than expected, we are now reminded of a possible delay in the launch iPhone 15 Pro Max due to power issues affecting the image sensor.

To be more specific, the Revegnus breakout channel (@Tech_Reve account on X/Twitter) The user posted a message says the following:Manufacturing issues with Sony, the iPhone 15 Pro Max image sensor provider, are serious. As a result, the iPhone 15 Pro Max release date could be pushed back by up to 4 weeks.“. It is important to note that this information is not officially confirmed, but if it were true, it would not be implausible to think that Apple must be quite angry with Sony, especially considering the high level of demand that it usually handles.

Among the features of the iPhone 15 series, its Pro models will be the first to include the A17 Bionic SoC manufactured by TSMC’s 3nm process, a feature that is supposed to be completely exclusive, if we see that Apple has made a move to monopolize all the production of transistors of that size for the said A17 at that time Bionic and the future M3, also based on ARM and oriented towards their personal computers.

As for the iPhone 15 Pro Max, implements a new periscopic camera lens to provide improved zoom capabilities and compete in better conditions against the Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra and the future Galaxy S24 Ultra. Although Apple’s dominance in high-end smartphones seems to be getting stronger, you shouldn’t sleep if you want to maintain this position.

Apple’s plan is will unveil the full iPhone 15 lineup next week, September 12, 2023. Certainly, following the custom of the Cupetine giant, it will be a spectacular event in which we will see not only smartphones, but also perhaps the Apple Watch Series 9, the first renewal of the Apple Watch Ultra and news about the services provided by the company, which recently took a step to make its business the model was not so overly focused on selling hardware devices.

We will see if what Revegnus said is true, but if so, it is likely that said delay will have a negative impact on Apple’s economic numbers, and with them, it is a less bad solution than launching devices that do not meet expectations.
