According to Tipster, iPhone 15 Pro Max shipments could be delayed by almost four weeks due to delivery issues
The iPhone 15 Pro Max – which is expected to debut at Apple’s upcoming launch event on September 12 – could be delayed by a few weeks. According to a tipster on In addition to four new iPhone models, the company is also expected to unveil the Apple Watch Series 9, the second-generation Apple Watch Ultra and an updated AirPods Pro (2nd generation) with a USB Type-C port.

According to a previous report, Apple supplier Sony has struggled with “insufficient production capacity” as demand for 48-megapixel cameras has increased. This year, Apple is expected to equip all iPhone 15 models with the 48-megapixel primary camera that debuted on the iPhone 14 Pro models.
It’s worth noting that the tipster isn’t the first to predict a delay in production of the top-of-the-line model. Ming-Chi Kuo, an analyst at TF Securities, claimed in a Medium post last week that Apple’s iPhone 15 Pro Max project was “the last to launch” and mass production of the phone lagged behind other models in the series.
The upcoming iPhone 15 Pro and iPhone 15 Pro Max are also expected to cost significantly more than their predecessors. This is said to be due to the rumored switch to a stainless steel titanium body, while the Pro Max model is also said to feature a periscope camera that could offer improved optical zoom compared to the iPhone 14 Pro Max.
Kuo has also predicted that Apple is expected to ship up to 225 million units in 2023, which could see the brand overtake Samsung as the world’s largest smartphone maker. The analyst also claims that the iPhone maker aims to ship 250 million units in 2024, which could solidify the company’s position at the top next year.
