A well-known analyst and source of Apple info, Ming-Chi Kuo, has confirmed that the iPhone 15 Pro Max will be late to the party. In other words, it won’t become available at the same time as its siblings.

The iPhone 15 Pro Max will be late to the party, it seems

We’ve heard this info quite a few times thus far, and it seems to be coming to fruition. Apple already confirmed that the iPhone 15 series will be announced on September 12. The iPhone 15 Pro Max (or possibly Ultra) will be announced too.

The company’s most powerful model will, however, arrive last. It is said that issues with stacked CIS, panels, and batteries might have been fixed, but that doesn’t mean you’ll be able to get the Pro Max at the same time as its siblings.

The stacked CIS issue has been resolved by increasing production capacity, though around 15% of iPhone 15 and 15 Plus shipments may be affected. The issues with batteries and frames were fixed in the same way.

The ‘Pro’ models will be lighter than their predecessors

Kuo also said that the cancellation of the virtual button design led to some challenging production windows for the titanium frame on the two ‘Pro’ models. He also noted that both variants will be lighter than their predecessors. Their weight already surfaced, quite recently actually.

The display issue was allegedly fixed by “changing the supplier shipment ratio”. If you’re wondering how long will you have to wait to get the iPhone 15 Pro Max, well, we’re still not sure. We presume it won’t be a long delay, though.

On top of everything that was said, Kuo also mentioned the colors that we can expect, yet again. The iPhone 15 and 15 Plus will launch in black, blue, green, pink, and yellow color variants. The ‘Pro’ versions will arrive in black, blue, gray, and white colors.
