It looks like, instead of a reported 12-month delay originally considered by Apple, the iPhone 12 will likely see a delay of just one month, according to the Wall Street Journal and reported by 9to5Mac.

Apple DELAYS New iPhone!
A little background: Apple has been affected by the Covid-19 pandemic for several months now, with its manufacturing partners struggling to keep up with iPhone accessories. Usually, Apple announces new iPhones in September. As 9to5Mac points out, a month-long delay could mean the announcement will still happen "on time," with a delay only if a new iPhone 12 is purchased.
Expectations: The iPhone 12 is rumored to have a more iPad Pro-like look and feel, with a flared edge instead of the current rounded one. It is also likely that Apple's new flagship will come with 5G cellular capabilities.
Bottom Line: A month doesn't seem like a huge delay from a consumer perspective, but as 9to5Mac points out, it could affect Apple's finances, especially if they choose to build fewer iPhones to begin with. Still, for those waiting in September for the latest and greatest iPhone models, there will be a bit of a wait.
