According to analyst Ming-Chi Kuo, the iPhone 15 Pro Max, the most high-end of the series, could be available some time after the other models. Production-related issues are involved.
We may know almost everything about the iPhone 15, whose official presentation will take place on September 12, but this does not prevent us from seeing information appear almost every day before the scheduled date. In general, they concern the technical sheet of future Apple smartphones, but not only. Analyst Ming-Chi Kuo, a reliable source on the matter, explains that according to him, the iPhone 15 Pro Max may well be late. Understand: he will be presented with his classmates at the keynote of 12, but you won’t be able to buy it right after.
Several factors are believed to be responsible for the assumed delay. As the most sophisticated model in the series, the iPhone 15 Pro Max has seen significant technical issues during its design. Whether at the level of the screens or the battery, the problems encountered have certainly been solved for the most part, but not without impacting the production chain. Ming-Chi Kuo believes that 10-15% of iPhone 15 and 15 Plus shipments are affected.
The iPhone 15 Pro Max would be available for purchase later than the other versions of the iPhone 15
About the iPhone 15 Prothe abandonment of virtual buttons to return to physical buttons would have required adjustments for the manufacture of the titanium structure. The analyst notes all the same that thanks to the use of this material, the iPhone 15 Pro and Pro Max will be lighter than their iPhone 14 series counterparts. It also announces the colors expected from Pro models : grey, white, black and blue.

Finally, the iPhone 15 Pro Max is the latest in the line to enter mass production. A delay in its sale is therefore quite possible. It is difficult at present to give an estimate of the latter. Since the iPhone 14 Pro Max is the best-selling mobile in the world this year, it’s a safe bet that Apple will minimize any possible delay to offer its successor for purchase.
