We are at that point where in addition to the users themselves, manufacturers are also waiting to see what happens with the launch of the new Apple iPhone model to do one thing or another. Without a doubt, having Apple as a rival today is not easy for manufacturers, and this is reflected in the decrease in orders for components for their devices.
Logically this happens every year when large firms are close to launching a new device model, but in the case of Apple the expectation is always somewhat higher. All manufacturers are waiting and preparing to make one move or another depending on what Apple does and in this case the orders for components such as processors are almost stopped.
According to the medium Digitimes It is common in the launches of any iPhone, all smartphone manufacturers await the launch of the new model, also in this case it is something important if we pay attention to the rumors we've been seeing for a few weeks.

Another important detail is that the date on which the new iPhone 8 model is said to be launched varies depending on the day, so while many expect it to be presented in September, there are others who say that it will be delayed and will be shown in October, be it however, everyone seems to be following Apple's steps to take one step or another.
