You may want to put in a preorder if you're excited for the iPhone 7 - a report claims that Apple may be upcoming iPhone's launch may be hindered by short supply.
Apple is reportedly undergoing a shortage of materials following a batch of faulty components, an industry source told Nikkei Asian Review. The source adds that if Apple sticks to its typical fall release window, initial demand for the newest iPhone might potentially go unmet.
In addition to a shortage of components, a recent drop in demand for iPhones in general may have led to lowered yields from Apple's suppliers, 9to5Mac points out.
Don't Panic
This isn't the first time an iPhone's been confronted with launch issues. The iPhone 4 hit a production snag before it released, and a dearth in supplies also affected the iPhone 5.
Both of those devices wound up with slight hiccups fulfilling preorders day one, but thankfully never got even close to "Nintendo Wii in 2006" levels of scarcity/chaos - so unless you're the absolute earliest of early adopters, you probably shouldn't fret over whether or not you'll have a shiny new iPhone this holiday.
