iPhone X is released late by Apple, many people being taken by surprise by the fact that the new phone will only be put on sale on November 3. The rumors appeared before the conference for the presentation of iPhone X and iPhone 8 implied that Apple Lossless Audio CODEC (ALAC), will put the new phone on sale from September itself, but it will reach the hands of some customers only from November 3, the stocks for it being extremely limited anyway.
iPhone X has been explained by the American journalists the big production problem that Apple is facing at the moment, and this even though the company has a lot of experience in the field. More precisely, iPhone X is just one of the iPhone models released in the 10 years of the series' existence, and during this time many would have expected Apple to know how to think about a launch so that it is done without problems.
iPhone X has one of the biggest problems in estimating the demand that the phone will have, the Apple company judging everything also based on the selling price. It seems that Apple could not judge the demand well enough far enough in advance, so now iPhone X production is suffering because its partners could not produce enough components in time to ensure a perfect launch.
"Apple may well be facing its biggest demand-forecasting challenge since the original iPhone. While Apple has empirical data on demand for new iPhones, it's harder to know what proportion of orders will be for the iPhone X versus its somewhat less expensive new siblings, the iPhone 8 and 8 Plus. In addition, many analysts are predicting this could be a "super cycle" of upgraders who have been held out for a complete redesign—leading to a sales surge like the one caused by the 2014 launch of the iPhone 6."
iPhone X - why it is released late by Apple
iPhone X most likely also suffers from the perfectionism of the Apple company, those from Cupertino having the habit of making important changes to the structure of the phones before launch. More precisely, Apple is known for the fact that it sometimes completes the development of products even before they go into production, and the iPhone X could suffer from some last-minute changes.
iPhone X even with a single screw changed in its case could have "overturned" the entire production process and we know that Foxconn has very big production problems. Separately, there is also the problem of the components that are extremely difficult to find by the Apple company for the production of iPhone X, the Asian partners have been making it clear since a few months ago that they cannot fulfill Apple's requirements.
"Even relocating a single screw can have consequences for the dimensions, placement and performance of dozens of other components, says Chetan Sharma, a mobile-industry consultant. An annual refresh of its phone line leaves only a few months in each design cycle to bring a device out of the lab and onto the factory floor."
iPhone X has been announced ever since that it will be launched with a delay due to problems with the production of components, and this seems to be true. Basically, the wrong estimate of the demand, Apple's perfectionism and the problems with the production of the components are most likely the main reasons because of which the iPhone X is released very late, but this does not help us at all.
