> And that is why the widely reported Rumours of Apple deciding not to ship the iPhone SE Plus in the last minute by certain famous twitter user or so called leaker are complete horse shit.
This isn't always true. Apple has, at the last minute, cancelled/"indefinitely-delayed" many product launches including AirPower, AirTags, and a certain iMac refresh 12-18 months back.
I'm certain they've backed off of iPhone launches, as well. For example, the white iPhone 4 almost never saw the light of day.
The rest of your post seems on point, though.
- ksec 6y agoBecause those are different. AirPower and AirTag were never rumoured to be launch with an exact date. iMac Refresh as well. Some people claim iPhone SE Plus were delayed right on the day of announcement. You need at least two weeks run in just before the production start. You can do that with other product like AirPod ( not any more ) or may be HomePod where the production volume is small and it can really work in a Just in Time fashion. Not with iPhone, where your launch volume are expected to be in millions of unit. You need weeks of preparation. And even that is a tight schedule.
