The release of the iPhone 15 Pro Max (or potentially iPhone 15 Ultra) may be delayed by three to four weeks compared to other models in the iPhone 15 lineup. This delay is attributed to Sony, a significant camera parts supplier to Apple, possibly being unable to provide the image sensor needed for the iPhone 15 Pro Max in time for its simultaneous release with other new models.
The iPhone 15 Pro Max is expected to feature a significantly upgraded camera system, including a telephoto periscope lens. However, the production of this lens may be facing challenges in terms of speed and scale.
While the iPhone 15 lineup is anticipated to be released around September 22, with pre-orders starting on September 15, the delay in the iPhone 15 Pro Max’s release could push its availability to sometime between October 13 and October 20. This delay may impact only the iPhone 15 Pro Max, as similar reports have suggested potential delays for specific models in past iPhone lineups.
It’s worth noting that these details are based on analyst notes and rumors, and the exact release dates will be confirmed by Apple during its official iPhone launch event.
