Description:
Panel shipments for the iPhone 14 Max are reportedly way behind schedule, so there's a chance it will be delayed.

FULL STORY ======================================================================

The iPhone 14 Max could be one of the more interesting entries in the iPhone 14 line, since its a completely new thing, rather than just an upgraded version of one of last years phones, but it could also be delayed according
to a recent leak.

Analyst and leaker Ross Young who has a good track record claimed in a
tweet that production of this model is behind schedule. The tweet is only visible to Super Followers, but its been seen by 9to5Mac .

In any case, reportedly panel shipments for the iPhone 14 Max are way behind where they should be, based on Youngs supply chain information.

Young doesnt go so far as to say whether the iPhone 14 Max will be delayed as a result of this or not, but with Apple likely planning to announce the
iPhone 14 line in September, the company doesnt have long to get its iPhone
14 Max production into good shape if this information is accurate.

This isnt the first time weve heard of iPhone 14 Max delays either, as a previous report suggested that one iPhone model believed to be the iPhone 14 Max was behind schedule. Analyst Ming-Chi Kuo then claimed the situation was under control , but that was back in May, so if Apple is still struggling
here then maybe the situation isnt under control anymore.

As such, wed think a delay seems likely, or if not then the iPhone 14 Max might be in very short supply initially. Though even if the phone is delayed, theres a high chance it will still be announced alongside its siblings. An iPhone 13 Pro Max (Image credit: TechRadar) Analysis: no delays for the

Despite the iPhone 14 Max and iPhone 14 Pro Max both being expected to have a 6.7-inch screen, and it reportedly being display production thats holding up the iPhone 14 Max, it doesnt sound like the iPhone 14 Pro Max is behind too.

In fact, according to Young, panel supply volumes for the iPhone 14 Pro Max are more than three times higher than for the iPhone 14 Max.

So why cant Apple repurpose some of the Pro Max screens for the Max? Because despite being the same size, these screens arent actually expected to be the same. The iPhone 14 Pro Max will apparently have a 120Hz adaptive refresh rate, while the iPhone 14 Max will likely be stuck at 60Hz.

The iPhone 14 Pro Max is also expected to have camera cut-outs in the
display, while the iPhone 14 Max is expected to stick with a notch, so the shape of the panels will likely differ slightly too.

So if youre in the market for one of the best iPhones come September, youre sure to have some new options the iPhone 14 Max just might not initially be among them.
