In two separate reports today from DigiTimes, iPhone SE 2 (aka iPhone 9) has reached verification at Foxconn and Pegatron plants, but that Apple has deferred PCB orders for the device from the Q1 to the Q2 due to the coronavirus outbreak, suggesting a possible launch delay.
“Taiwan-based flexible PCB makers in the supply chain of Apple devices will see their shipments for the upcoming entry-level iPhone SE2 deferred from the first quarter to the second, and their second-quarter revenues may buck seasonal trends because of the deferral, according to industry sources.”
