GIPHYAnother year, and another next generation Apple iPhone is on the horizon as the tech conglomerate churns out devices as surely as the passing of the seasons…
But a Deutsche Bank analyst has released a research note stating Apple will not launch the iPhone 8 in 2017, according to Business Insider.
The note has declared ‘key component shortages and technical challenges’ are behind the major delay of the 10th anniversary smartphone.

Report suggests no new iPhone 8 this calendar year.
As we have written in previous [research notes], several supply chain reports have suggested that key component shortages and technical challenges could delay the release of a high-end iPhone 8 device this fall.
We believe this report further underscores the uncertainty around the timing of Apple’s next- generation iPhone model.
Earlier this month, Digitimes released a report pointing out ‘lamination process of curved OLED panels, and the adoption of a 3D sensing system may cause the delay of the new iPhone devices’.
GIPHYCue: Tech sheeple losing their minds because they have to wait a few months to fork out up to $1,000 for the pleasure of a slightly bigger battery.
But fear not, iOS users; Apple are still set to ‘do something outstanding’ to mark the 10th anniversary of the iPhone for you all to salivate over.
