Report claims Apple has approximately 3 million iPhone X units available for launch
A new report by KGI claims that due to shortages within the supply chain Apple will have approximately 3 million iPhone X units available for the first wave of customers pre-ordering the device, claiming that the ‘biggest hurdle’ for iPhone X shipments is the printed circuit board for the antenna system.
Earlier this week we reported that sources claimed the first batch of iPhone X models have been shipped out of production in China, destined for the Netherlands & United Arab Emirates, so it looks as if Apple is dividing the available iPhone X stock between all launch countries.
The iPhone X, pronounced “iPhone Ten”, features a 5.8-inch Super Retina OLED edge-to-edge display with 2436 x 1125 resolution and 458ppi, HDR support, Dolby Vision, HDR10, and True Tone. The Home Button has been removed from the iPhone X, with Apple adding a new Tap to Wake feature which works alongside Raise to Wake.
iPhone X features the new A11 Bionic chip with a special neural engine that helps power Face ID which unlocks the device by taking a 3D scan of the users face. Apple says Face ID can’t be spoofed by photographs, masks, and makeup, and changing your actual appearance with a hat or beard or makeup won’t prevent Face ID from working.
