It is one of the most eagerly anticipated smartphones in history.
However, those hoping to snag the iPhone 8, which is claimed to be the most radical overhaul of the firm’s handset since it was first introduced, may struggle to get one.
A new analyst note warns the firm will not be able to meet demand when it announces the phone in September.
The majority of stock may not be available until later in the fourth quarter, according to the latest research from Barclays analysts Blayne Curtis, Christopher Hemmelgarn, Thomas O’Malley, and Jerry Zhang.
‘Suppliers generally had good things to say about the upcoming iPhone 8 launch (for our purposes iPhone 7s, iPhone 7s Plus, and iPhone Pro) as new features drive a more complicated manufacturing process and higher ASPs,’ the note says, according to MacRumours.
‘We now believe that all three devices will feature wireless charging and will all be launched in the normal September timeframe, although the majority of iPhone Pro volumes may not be available until Q4.’
