IPhone 13 has big problems, launch may be delayed
Apple has been hit by a global semiconductor shortage, according to recent reports, and the iPhone product line could face a production halt, according to recent reports.
Sources say the market situation has heavily influenced the supply of Samsung’s OLED displays. As a reminder, Samsung’s Texas-based chip factory was closed due to snowstorms and power outages last month. This factory was supposed to produce OLED display drivers for the iPhone.
The overall iPhone production plan for the first half of 2021 is currently revised to around 75 million units, down about 20% from the December 2020 target.
It is reported that the shortage of semiconductor products may be even more severe than last year’s situation caused by the coronavirus. The situation may affect not only the iPhone 12, but also the iPhone 13 series, which is expected to be announced in September.
Last year, Apple delayed the release of the iPhone 12 series by one month due to the pandemic. If supply problems persist, the launch of the iPhone 13 could also be delayed. Well-known analysts unanimously claim that the market situation will continue at least until the end of the year, so they are starting to talk about the problems of the iPhone 13 right now.
Recently, the shortage of basic products has spread from the automotive industry to many sectors. Smartphone makers have confirmed that there is a shortage of chips this year, and now many manufacturers have to cut production to cope with the crisis.

Apple will bring back in iOS 16 a feature that disappeared on smartphones with FaceID

Apple has released the fifth developer beta of iOS 16, which has received many new features and visual changes. One of them was the battery percentage icon, which users have not seen since the iPhone X.
The fact is that with the release of models equipped with FaceID, there was no room left on the screen for percentages, so you had to turn on the Control Center or use widgets. In the latest iOS 16 beta, percentages will be displayed inside the battery icon in the status bar.
At the same time, according to the source, this feature will appear on the iPhone X, iPhone XS, iPhone 12 and iPhone 13, but will not be available on the iPhone XR, iPhone 11, iPhone 12 mini and iPhone 13 mini. Perhaps the situation will change by the release.
iOS 16 itself should be released in September along with the iPhone 14, but it is not yet known exactly when this will happen. Note that the company may postpone the release of iPadOS 16 for a month. According to media reports, this is due to problems with the Stage Manager function.
