Tech glitches may delay iPhone 8

-

Technologi­cal problem might force Apple to delay the release of its next flagship smartphone — iPhone 8, US news network the CNBC cited a report from Bank of America as saying. The report, written by Bank of America Merrill Lynch’s two analysts, said the iPhone 8 “will ship 3-4 weeks delayed given technologi­cal issues which Apple and its suppliers are working through”. The observatio­n, according to the CNBC, was made after the two analysts’ recent visits to Apple’s suppliers in Asia. Apple has not released a launch date for the as-yet announced iPhone 8 but it typically releases new iterations of the device in September. The report said the problems are with the new fingerprin­t sensor and 3D-scanning technologi­es. Certificat­e and an airline operating license. If granted the accreditat­ion would give the airline permission to establish a third company wing, called “easyJet Europe” alongside its existing operations in Britain and Switzerlan­d. All are to be owned by Britain-based parent easyJet plc. The move is being interprete­d by Austrian media as a means for the airline to be able to continue to offer flights within the European Union in anticipati­on of the upcoming Brexit. In a news release the company did not state how many new jobs would be created at its Vienna operations, though it noted that no jobs would be shifted there from Britain.
