Yes it could workout for the loyal Apples. People will fear backorder and flee so the ones who stay actually benefit from decent supply. Same as when the did construction on 378 years ago. So many rerouted that it was actually faster overall. And steadier. It went slower but never stopped instead of stop and go constantly, and the average speed was definitely faster.
So I wonder which scenario will happen:
1. They work like crazy and get back on track by preorder time.
2. They are behind and delay launch.
3. They are behind but still launch the same in fear of losing sales, but backorder is horrendous, so people cancel in droves, and they lose sales anyhow.
4. Other.
The Bangalore plant isn’t large enough to take complete control of all iPhone manufacturing (I believe India’s plant lacks some of the Tooling necessary for mass production), but they probably could assist in some of the manufacturing, as it was reported back in April 2019 that India would help cut down on labor costs, and be more of a smaller ’sister plant’ to aid in production.
I think you're misunderstanding what I'm saying. The iPhone SE is a 5.4" phone. It's 4.87x2.31 inches. If we go back to algebra class, the hypotenous of a right angle triangle is a^2+b^2=c^2. In other words, a 4.87" by 2.31" phone has a diagonal of 4.392 inches (just shy of 5.4").
If the rumored 5.4" phone is .01" smaller- so 5.390- on the diagonal and if that includes the bezel, it would be smaller than the iPhone SE.
It seems like every year around this time DigiTimes talks about how production of the next big thing might be delayed. Is this the year they're right? Does it matter?
Those numbers would only work in an imaginary world with no bezels. Not to mention the iPhone SE chassis has the wrong aspect ratio compared to iPhone X and newer devices.
Realistically, given how the 5.4" iPhone is being positioned, the device will likely have thicker bezels than iPhone X, similar to XR. This is a result of using less expensive rigid OLED panels. If you wrap iPhone XR bezels around a 5.4" display based on a 19.5:9 aspect ratio, it's going to be 96-99% the size of iPhone 8.
I'd also feel better traveling with a cheaper, smaller phone than my full priced XS. I really think Apple is missing out by making the SE 2 a larger phone.
Yeah, giving up that “it’d be nice to have a 2nd cheap/small backup phone for traveling” market... just to get that “hey, finally a normal sized brand new iPhone for cheaper than most Android phones- this is for me!” market.
Apple is really missing out big there.

Should you be worried?
if the new iPhone in September is delayed due to the Coronavirus, so be it, I'd rather wait than workers making the phones getting sick which in turn makes the virus worse.
A 5.4” display would result in an overall size of 2.64” x 5.30”, if the bezels are the same width as the 11 Pro. That’s about the same width but not quite as tall as the iPhone 8, which is 2.65” x 5.65”.
I think some people are not really brand loyal. They upgrade when their contract is up for renewal and can be swayed by whatever the sales person in the store advises them to buy based on how much they want to spend.
i wonder how long COVID-19 continues to live on surfaces, if it isn't treated with an agent to degrade its DNA fragments.
Sure, there are those who are not ‘brand agnostic’, they choose whatever works best for them. My point was though, it is difficult for those who are tied in the ecosystem in terms of like the AirPods, Apple Watch, HomePod, just to end up abandoning the iPhone simply because there’s a delay. But that doesn’t really sound all that logical from a consumer standpoint, Especially when most iPhone users have at least one Other Apple product in their home that’s probably tethered with iOS.
The iPhone 9 was already nearing production and was designed way before the outbreak occured I believe. They aren't just going to scrap the iPhone 9. And people who already have the 11 can afford to wait a little for an upgrade as it's still new and the best on the market (will still be one of the best even with the 12 release) Not saying those on a yearly upgrade plan should have to wait but stuff happens and sometimes things don't go as planned. And the iPhone 7 is already older now. There hasn't been a low cost iPhone in years so this is overdue for Apple. The 9 has been planned for a while now and is very close to release at this point. The 12 could (possibly) get disturbed because it's further from release and Apple can't get the design team flown to China now. I don't think the iPhone 9 release is causing much if any interference though. But anyway with all that's happening in China I think we can agree that we can all afford to wait and health is far more important. I do think that Apple should try to diversify supply chains more to prevent these types of disturbances.

I'm just wondering how they'd fit all the lastest tech and chipset into a body that small. It would still need a decent size battery too. Maybe they figured it out or it'll be the size of the iPhone 8 instead just full screen? (I'm referring to the new 12 not the 9.)
I’m not concerned about battery life in smaller 5.4” screen all screen iPhone. 5.4” uses less power to drive it vs. the current sizes. Also, iOS software has made improvements in last years to optimize battery. Further, A14 chip is expected to be reduced (from 7) to 5 nm node size for first time, which provides opportunity for further battery use reduction.

It could be sold as a feature: iPhone radiation disrupts Coronavirus RNA
Tim Cook, the master of logistics, made the rookie mistake of relying on 1 production source.
Its not just Foxconn but the whole of China and nearing neighbours who build the iPhone parts.
People are hoping things will get better from here, but there is the possibility that the dangers grows further and the spread increases.

A minor hardware redesign, perhaps necessitated by the addition of 5G, along with an upgraded display, upgraded camera with a fourth lens/time of flight camera, a huge performance improvement with the 5nm A14 processor and who knows what else makes this more than your typical S model upgrade. Next year’s iPhone will probably be called the 12s unless the notch goes away which in that case might give us (hopefully not unlucky) 13.
That's still only 10mm taller and 8mm wider than the SE and 96% of the iPhone 8 is still more compact than the iPhone 8, so I'm buying the 5.4". 😁
Not only the anual upgraders, I’m still on Iphone 6, and have a upgrade planned this year, artly because I no longere receive the latest ios, but mostly because of 5G

Hmm well appart from 5G thati is Rollout is allready underway and by end of next year both MNOs here n Norway have promised completed deployments. I wander if they wil roll our ipv6 a the same time, my gues is yes, I see no reason for them to wait any longer, deplye ipv6 put ipv4 traffic behind cg nat, ans sell off. The ipv4 space they free up. Realice that a lot of the US might have to wait way longer for real 5G, so that this may not be a very interresting phone for a lot of us readers, bo thats the way ir goes some times, but you can bet Apple wil shout lodly about 5G, their lack of 5G phones where starting to look a bit silly imho

You are probably right, the launche, ie rhe press event and rhe hype will not be delayed, but the waiting timesfor day one/week one orders might increase significantly
