The iPhone 8 will see daylight next week at a September 12 event at the Apple Park, but while Cupertino plans to introduce the device together with the more subtly improved iPhone 7s and 7s Plus, the anniversary model is very likely to be delayed by approximately one month.

A report from the Wall Street Journal reveals that the iPhone 8 launch could be affected by “extended supply shortfalls and shipping delays,” partially because of what are described as production glitches.

iPhone 8 production is said to be approximately one month behind, and even though new iPhones are typically released in small numbers, Apple might have to hold back the anniversary model and bring it to the market after the iPhone 7s and 7s Plus.

According to the cited source, Foxconn, which is in charge of iPhone 7 manufacturing in Zhengzhou, China, is paying bonuses to employees who bring in more temporary workers to help with the production process at the local plant. The facility already employs 250,000 workers after the company increased production, but more staff is needed to meet the capacity requested by Apple.
