Apple is encountering display issues that could make the iPhone 15 Pro and iPhone 15 Pro Max hard to get when they launch later this year. According to people “with direct knowledge of the issue”, suppliers have been experiencing problems with the new manufacturing process that’s designed to produce much thinner bezels for Apple’s best iPhones – and that means there could be stock shortages at launch.
The report comes via The Information (paywall), and says that Apple’s display partner, LG Display, is encountering similar issues to the ones around the launch of the Apple Watch Series 7 four years ago. That too involved a change of panel size – the Series 7 display increased by 1mm – and production problems ended up delaying shipments by several weeks.
