‘The delays’ Macrumors is repeating this year is a bit different over the previous years, especially since global shortage is ‘thing’ now. We’ll know more once production typically starts in July for the iPhone, and if a September launch seems on par or delayed later into the year.
 
I’m sure whatever delay they have will be less than the delay for the original white iPhone 4.
 
Apple has previously made some models available immediately and other models available "later." Nobody in real life seems to have a problem with that.

Such an iconic iPhone and the moments. Desperate times for Apple. Remember this:


 
It will be the other way around. iPhone 14 Pro/Pro Max models out first. Regular iPhone 14/Max model comes out in October. Apple will rack up more profits with the Pro models :)

I disagree. The iPhone 14 "regular" models still appear to be on track, especially since they are essentially a quasi-rebrand of the iPhone 13 Pro.

Still on my iPhone 8, so I’ll just relax as I’m about 6 years behind schedule!

You need to ditch that thing soon. I'd recommend getting a new iPhone 13 or 13 mini, especially since AT&T, T-Mobile US or Verizon are offering great deals on trade ins.
 
Those that don't need to upgrade should just skip the 14. iOS needs alot more work than the hardware.
 
He believes that the iPhone 14 lineup's challenges "will come from the demand side rather than the supply side."
I… don’t understand, if there’s a lot of demand and supply didn’t catch, could as well say that the supply side was the issue?
Unless they mean it could have very low demand, for reasons… to the bin this rumor.
 
If anybody can pull this off Apple is the one
Tim Cook has massive experience under Steve Job taking care of supply shortages, companies failing to produce the quality Apple insists on etc
Have no fear Tim Cook is here!
 
I’m in no hurry.

They will be a bit faster, the camera will improve, and it will have a different curve or colour. And the notch will be a bit smaller.

I find it amazing Apple is still able to push that many phones out the door at those prices. I’ll buy a new one when my current one breaks.
 
iPhone 14 MAX is poor man's large screen iPhone. Apple, you can make it available in a limited quantity at announcement but don't completely delay it. Apple wants to differentiate iPhone 14 Pro MAX from iPhone 14 MAX by pill-hole vs notch but you can differentiate with 3 cameras vs 2 cameras on back. So, have all iPhones with the same pill-hole screen design.
