It is said that iPhone 12 production will be delayed by Apple at least 1 month.

　　Although there is much news about iPhone 12, the only uncertainty is whether Apple will release them on time in September.

　　According to the latest news from Japanese media, iPhone 12 production will be delayed, and Apple may be delayed by 1-2 months in the release time. As for why it is delayed, it is nothing more than bright spots. The first is that the new phone needs more adequate preparation. Production capacity, especially the industry chain this year, has also been affected by the epidemic. Another factor is that Apple's self-developed millimeter-wave antenna module needs to be further optimized (it will be used in some iPhone 12 versions).

　　Prior to this, DigiTimes reported that suppliers were not so optimistic about shipments of the new 5G iPhone. Apple is expected to launch a 5G iPhone later this year, but its supply chain partners are now less optimistic about new device shipments.

　　For Apple, the first 5G iPhone has focused too much attention on the industry, because China’s mobile phone manufacturers, Huawei, Xiaomi, etc., have taken the lead in delaying flagship models that support the 5G band. People are all about what Apple will hand over. Have expectations.

　　There are currently two main 5G technologies called Sub-6 and mmWave (hereinafter referred to as millimeter wave). Both are the frequencies used by 5G signals. Among them, Sub-6 uses the low and medium frequency band below 6Ghz, and the millimeter-wave uses the high-frequency band from 24GHz to 39GHz.

　　The former is considered to be a transitional technology, which provides faster speeds than 4G LTE, and the improvement is not so large. But this technology can indeed reduce the waiting time and does not require the high density of cellular network base stations, using existing 4G base station equipment to retrofit, so most users can reach the nominal speed of 100-150Mbps.

　　Millimeter-wave is a faster standard, theoretically having a gigabit speed, but the actual speed is about 500Mbps. However, its wavelength is very short, so it is susceptible to interference and requires a greater density of base stations. This means it will only be available in very limited areas, such as airports, large bus stations, stadiums, and tourist attractions, etc.
