The release of the iPhone 15 Pro Max was in jeopardy

The release of Apple’s most expensive flagship on sale may be delayed due to production problems. This is reported by the publication 9to5Mac.

According to well-known analyst Ming-Chi Ko, the American company launched the iPhone 15 Pro Max in production last, so the release schedule of the device lags behind the release dates of other models. Also, Apple has encountered problems due to which the appearance of the flagship on sale may be delayed by three to four weeks. On August 29, Tim Cook’s company announced that the autumn presentation of gadgets will take place on September 12.

Koh clarified that the suppliers of the IT giant have encountered problems in the production of a new titanium case, which will receive 15 Pro Max. The problem lies in the “high complexity of processing and significant design changes during development.” It also turned out that due to certain difficulties, Apple decided to abandon the solid-state volume buttons that the 15 Pro Max was supposed to get. Apparently, nothing threatens the timely appearance of the remaining models of the iPhone 15 series on sale.

In his report, Ming-Chi Ko specified that during the development of the iPhone 15 Pro Max, Apple engineers encountered a problem with the layout of the battery blocks, but coped with it. The company also firmly decided to choose titanium as the material for the flagship case, as it is lighter and stronger than aluminum and steel.

At the end of August, an anonymous source told 9to5Mac about a possible delay in the production of the iPhone 15 Pro Max. According to the specialist, the flagship will be available for purchase in early October.
