According to Mr. Ming-Chi Kuo, an analyst at KGI Securities, it is expected that the shipment of the new iPhone (iPhone 8) will be delayed from October to November, which is several months later than usual in the worst case scenario. This is because the manufacture of the iPhone 8 using the organic EL display has not progressed smoothly. IPhone 8 is expected to be announced at the event of September if it is as usual, but the number of terminals sold immediately after the announcement becomes very small, generally blanks of up to two months are free until shipping It seems to seem.

This is not the first time that iPhone's shipment is delayed, but shipments of iPhone 7 Plus last year were similarly delayed, but the delay of iPhone 8 is expected to be larger than this. The number of units shipped in 2017 is expected to be hundreds of thousands to hundreds of thousands less than usual, from 80 million to 90 million, and if all is as expected, the iPhone 8 may fall into a chronic shortage. However, Mr. Kuo does not affirm these expectations, but expects that it will change depending on whether rumors' "3D sensor" "exclusion of Touch ID" will be realized or how the balance with market competition will become .

With rumors so far, Touch ID 's fingerprint recognition sensor is thought to be embedded under the organic EL display or to be installed on the back. If a 3D sensor is mounted on the front camera, a new biometric authentication system such as iris authentication and face authentication may be adopted instead of Touch ID. Furthermore, it seems that a large-scale design change of the iPhone, such as an organic EL display without a bezel and a glass body, will be added, so these may be a cause of delay in manufacturing. Also, there is a possibility that the announcement of iPhone 8 in September itself may be delayed.
