Trial production begins
The dark satanic rumour mill has manufactured a yarn which claims that Foxconn is having a few problems making the new iPhones (7s, 7s Plus and iPhone 8), but it turns out this might not be true.
The Tame Apple Press is now saying that there are no issues at all and Foxconn is making trial runs of 200 of them a day.
This timing is in line with a rumoured October or November release, but it remains to be seen when the actual mass production will start.
Sadly, it means that Apple will have enough quantities to make those production targets and it will be in the shops for the Christmas rush. However, to be fair, the Tame Apple Press always says things like that about now.
Of course, if anything goes wrong with the trial run, then there could still be delays and the world will be saved. But there rarely are many problems at this point in the procedure.
The shortages that Apple was expected to find were in parts like screens, but this does not appear to be a problem after all. We can expect the hype to start in a month.
