Camera parts supplier Sony will not be able to provide the image sensor used by the iPhone 15 Pro Max in time for it to ship alongside the other new models. That’s according to a major equity analyst note viewed and described by a 9to5Mac source.
Apple is expected to deliver the biggest camera upgrade to the iPhone 15 Pro Max, which will use a periscope lens system that will deliver greater optical zoom than the current 3x limit. The smaller iPhone 15 Pro will not receive this upgrade. iPhone 15 and iPhone 15 Plus will include ultra-wide and wide cameras, but not telephoto cameras.
We expect Apple to announce the new iPhones alongside the Apple Watch Series 9 and Ultra 2 on September 12. Pre-orders will likely start on September 15 with deliveries starting September 22. The three to four week delay described by the analyst note could put iPhone 15 Pro Max deliveries between October 6 and October 13.
