The iPhones in 2020 are being delayed by a large amount do the COVID-19 pandemic. This is due to a smart business strategy by Apple thereby extending the life of their previous iPhones and giving them more time to fix their current supply chain issues which have plagued them since the start of the year reducing the amount of current generation iPhones produced as well to a stagnant halt.

Apple has also committed itself to first fixing supply chain issues of the current generation before moving on to the next. This is a smart decision as it has allowed for the company to expand its current inventory quite a bit where people have bought a lot of the current generation phone.

The delay in iPhones are also being caused due to China being the center of the Covid outbreak with Foxconn the major supplier of iPhone parts and accessories for Apple being based in China, most of the production facilities were closed down due to threats of COVID and therefore Apple was unable to cope with the supply chain issues.
