Apple may not show a new generation watch at the fall presentation. This became known to the agency Nikkei.
According to insiders, the contractors of the American company do not have time to finish the production of the Apple Watch, which makes it difficult to get them out. Three Nikkei sources said Apple's partners are struggling to achieve “satisfactory performance”. The reports of the breakdown are confirmed by the interlocutors of Bloomberg. At the moment, the production of watches is temporarily suspended.
Experts believe that the delay is due to the complexity of the design of the new Apple Watch. The new model is seriously different from the previous one, in this regard, the assemblers found problems in the assembly of electronic modules, components and displays. It is reported that the new generation smart watch will receive the function of measuring blood pressure. Also, the product must meet the requirements for waterproofing, which further complicates the engineering and manufacturing tasks.
“All assemblers face the same challenges in achieving satisfactory performance based on current industrial designs,” a source familiar with the nuances of the product told reporters. If the partners of the American company do not solve the urgent problems, then Apple may not present the new device at a future presentation.
The announcement of new Apple gadgets, including the expected iPhone 13, Apple Watch, iPad tablets, should take place in September. Earlier, analysts suggested that the presentation of the American company will take place on September 14.
