Apple’s iPhone keynote will kick off on September 12 with pre-orders of the iPhone 8, iPhone 7s Plus and iPhone 7s beginning on September 15. The iPhone 7s Plus and iPhone 7s are expected to be shipped out on September 22, but the iPhone 8 is going to be met with a significant amount of delay. Reasons for that delay have been specified, and another analyst shares the same opinion that the iPhone 8’s delay means a launch during mid-October.

According to Rosenblatt analyst Jun Zhang, there appears to be an issue with the iPhone 8 metal frame, causing more delays for the upcoming phone. If these issues persist, the analyst states that it will give Samsung’s Galaxy Note 8 and Huawei’s Mate 10 and Mate 10 Pro significant ground to take advantage of.
