One of the key points of the iPhone X is its front with a huge screen and the one known as peninsula that houses the TrueDepth camera and all the sensors that allow the unlocking of the terminal through Face ID. The iPhone X can be reserved next October 27 and the sale will officially begin on 3 of November.
These dates are the official dates but it is known that the number of iPhone X is lower than what Apple believed it could have at this time. The latest reports and leaks suggest that the TrueDepth camera is causing far fewer iPhones to be assembled than expected.
Will it be worth the wait ?: TrueDepth camera delays iPhone X production
The TrueDepth camera is the complex of systems that the iPhone X has in its peninsula With which we can perform three important tasks: unlock the terminal with Face ID, take impressive photos and send Animojis. This camera has several systems:
- Infrared camera
- IR illuminator
- Proximity sensor
- Ambient light sensor
- Speaker
- Microphone
- 7MP camera
- Spot projector
According to the latest information from multiple iPhone X production factories, the complex of the TrueDepth camera would be delaying the mass production of the device. Such is the delay that in September it was estimated that there would be 45 million units of iPhone X at its launch. Right now the number of devices is priced at 36 million. Almost 10 million units of difference.
Production is expected to improve in a few months when more components are received from various suppliers to increase production and advance shipments of reserved devices.
Its complexity means that the production and assembly of the different technologies is being a headache for Apple that will see a collapse of reserves and users they will have to wait weeks and even months to receive their iPhone X.
