iPhone 8 Manufacturing Issues May Lead to Extended Supply Shortages and Shipping Delays

[cppguy]

Apple is lead by a supplies expert. That's his only expertise, that's the only thing he truly understands. And every year, there are major supply shortages. Sigh...

To be expected and i imagine if you are ordering on contract you will be at a big a disadvantage...which i will be.

There’s no way i would buy an imperfect Apple device at an extreme price.

So then you've never bought an Apple product ever then. What's your beef in that case?

Are these OLED screens the real deal, like the Apple Watch screen? Or will they have that nasty green glow thing?

7+ was ugly last year. I ordered on the 9th and phone arrived 5 weeks later. And my preorder was done in under 3 minutes of the site going live.

So true. I pre ordered the 7 plus when it went live and it was shipped a month later. Apple does this every year. I literally drove to every carrier in my city and not one had the 7 plus in stock for months.

Ok I was totally wrong. As outlined I won't reveal source if wrong since timeline was not part of the message. I took a chance that it was relating to iPhone X. Not trolling. So maybe next time. Maybe a larger iDevice.

Impressive phone and very clever strategy to have TID option also the cheaper option in the iP8, so people can't really complain they now have the phone they love with all the new hardware benefits under the hood. This avoided a misplacement-gate of TID.

I have no idea if the competition will ever catch up with the A-Chips.

Also does this mean the next and maybe last TID iPhone will be the 9.... iPX is the start and opening act of the new generation of phones and the next after that model it's Xs - brilliant if true.
