Apple is projected to begin selling the iPhone X on November 3, but we’ve been hearing sources close to the matter saying that a delay to December is very likely due to the manufacturing issues that the Cupertino-based company is still struggling to deal with.

Now a report from Nikkei indicates that Apple suppliers have a hard time increasing the yield rate, as the facial recognition cameras cause particular problems due to the complex technology.

While the sources couldn’t detail the problem suppliers are hitting, it looks like the TrueDepth camera that the iPhone X will be using for facial recognition, Animoji, and other features could force Apple to hold back the anniversary model a bit longer, or as a backup plan, to launch it in limited numbers.

Rosenblatt analyst Jun Zhang says Apple is making some 400,000 iPhone X units every week, an increase from 100,000 units per week earlier this month, but it’s still slow production given the strong sales that the company expects especially in the pre-order phase and in the first days of availability.
