iPhone 8 rumours hint you could be facing a LONG wait to get your hands on the new gadget
APPLE fans could have a longer than expected wait to get their new iPhone after it's released next week, it's been claimed.
The new gadget could suffer supply shortfalls and shipping delays due to production glitches during manufacturing,
These alleged problems pushed the manufacturing process back by about a month, the Journal reported, citing people familiar with the matter.
"There never appears to be a shortage of chatter about alleged production glitches at Apple but they seem to be able to crank out tens of millions of iPhones each quarter," BTIG analyst Walter Piecyk said in an email to Reuters.

"I also doubt someone interested in a new iPhone will change brands if they have to wait a few months," he added.
Fans and investors are eagerly looking forward to the 10th anniversary iPhone 8 to see whether it will deliver enough new features to spark a new generation to turn to Apple.
The company is widely tipped to adopt higher-resolution OLED displays for the latest iPhone, along with better touchscreen technology and wireless charging - which could come with a price tag of up to £1,000.
