The iPhone 14 Max is currently about three weeks behind schedule, according to Haitong International Securities analyst Jeff Pu.
It was previously reported that at least one iPhone 14 model was three weeks behind schedule as Apple’s supply chain in China was affected by the blockade, but it was unclear which model.
Now, Pu has revealed that the delayed model is the iPhone 14 Max,This is Apple’s upcoming non-Pro line of iPhones with a larger 6.7-inch display.
Pu explained,The delay of the iPhone 14 Max was caused by Pegatron’s suspension of production during the epidemic prevention and control period.The iPhone 14 Max is not expected to enter mass production until late August.
According to the Nikkei news, at present, four iPhone 14 series models are in the engineering verification test (EVT) stage. Typically, all new iPhone models complete EVT and enter the verification phase by the end of June. Following the development phase of the new iPhone, Apple’s main assemblers Foxconn and Pegatron enter a phase known as the New Product Introduction (NPI), during which the manufacturing process for the latest design is outlined. NPI is followed by several final validation processes before mass production begins.
Pu also said that the iPhone 14, iPhone 14 Pro and iPhone 14 Pro Max are still on schedule to reach mass production in early August, a few weeks before the iPhone 14 Max.It’s unclear whether the delay will translate into a later shipment of the iPhone 14 Max than other iPhone 14 models, a timeframe that depends on how much faster the iPhone 14 Max’s development process can be.
Apple has reportedly urged suppliers to speed up product development efforts to make up for lost time as much as possible, and the success of those efforts could affect initial production volumes for the iPhone 14 series more broadly.
In addition, it was reported earlier this month that Apple asked Foxconn to start recruiting workers earlier to assemble iPhone 14 models amid concerns that China’s lockdown measures could lead to supply shortages or delays later this year.
