Apple will have to postpone the launch of the cheaper iPhone - iPhone 9 (or iPhone SE 2), mainly because assembly lines such as Foxconn currently have less than half of their previous capacity, according to the Nikkei Asian Review.
According to information from Apple internal sources, Apple originally planned to release this low-cost iPhone at the end of March, but due to insufficient production capacity, the release and release time were forced to be postponed. The specific time has not yet been determined.
According to previous information, the design of this iPhone 9 is similar to that of the iPhone 8. It uses the Touch ID fingerprint home button and a single rear camera. It also offers 64GB and 128GB versions.
It will upgrade the same A13 chip as the iPhone 11 with 3GB of memory and colors including space gray, silver, and red.
It is widely speculated that the price of the iPhone 9/iPhone SE 2 will maintain the iPhone SE pricing strategy and will maintain a starting price of $399.
Because the price is relatively low, it will inevitably reduce the hardware configuration to save costs, such as LCD screen, rear single camera, no 3D Touch, does not support 5G.
According to Foxconn's previous plan, they hope to resume 50% of their production in mainland China by the end of February, and plan to resume 80% of their production in mainland China in March, but now it is difficult to achieve it.
