Recent rumors have raised questions regarding the possibility of the launch of the iPhone 15 being delayed. According to reports, Apple would be facing difficulties in obtaining several essential components for the manufacture of the long-awaited device. The news gained prominence following headlines emerged claiming that the company faces problems in the production of 4nm chips.
Summary:
Rumors point to possible delays in the production of the iPhone 15 due to difficulties in obtaining components. TSMC, maker of Apple’s chips, is facing delays starting production at its new factory in Arizona due to a lack of skilled labor. The iPhone 15 chips should use the process of 3nm da TSMC, which is not expected to be affected by delays at the Arizona plant. The Arizona factory wasn’t supposed to start mass production until next year, making it unlikely that the iPhone 15 chips would come from there.
According to Wall Street JournalTSMC, the company responsible for manufacturing Apple’s current chips, is facing delays in starting production at its new Arizona plant due to a shortage of skilled laborwhich has been impacting the production schedule.

The main reason for the delay would be because the iPhone 15 chips are expected to use the process of 3nm da TSMC, as well as the supposedly future M3 MacBooks. Also, the Arizona plant was originally not supposed to start mass production. until early next year, which is well following the expected launch of the iPhone 15 family. Consequently, the chips for these devices are likely to come from Taiwan, according to the WSJ.
The problem, it seems, occurs to the detriment of the Arizona factory not having the capacity (yet) for mass production of 3nm chips. The factory is expected to undergo expansion to build 4nm chips, but this forecast was to start in 2025, still far away. That is, the use of chips made in that factory for the iPhones 15 is practically ruled out.
In addition, other components are, according to rumors, delaying, such as the large display of the Pro and Pro Max versions, and rumors indicate a shortage of 48MP cameras, thus delaying the launch of the iPhones by possible weeks.
While Apple struggles to solve these problems, enthusiasts are anxiously awaiting the launch, scheduled for this fall, and you can follow the news of the iPhone 15 here at Oficina da Net, or the latest news from Apple’s 2023 launch.
