'Severe supply shortages': The iPhone 8 sounds like it will be hard to find (AAPL)

Computer Bild/Martin HajekApple is expected to launch a redesigned iPhone this fall, with a screen that covers nearly the entire front of the device. But it's increasingly sounding as if that redesigned iPhone may be delayed past Apple's traditional September launch period. The companies that make parts for Apple are suggesting that production of Apple's redesigned "OLED" iPhone might not start until October or November, as opposed to August and September, as in previous years. "While we believe the announcement and launch time of the new iPhones will be similar to previous ones, production ramp up of OLED iPhone could be delayed to as late as October-November compared to the usual ramp up period of August-September, due to increased production difficulty," reliable analyst Ming-Chi Kuo writes in a note seen by MacRumors. "In other words, severe supply shortages may persist for a while after the new models are launched, capping total shipments of new iPhones in 2H17," he continues.
