Apple’s unannounced flagship tenth-anniversary iPhone — popularly called the iPhone 8 but even the name is a mystery at this point in time — might be in trouble, and could ship with major features disabled. How much of a problem would this be for Apple?
Ultimately, the iPhone 8 will sell on the merits of the product that Apple unveils, not the rumors, leaks, and fanboy mockups.
Bottom line, I don’t see this as much of a problem.
Yes, it suggests that something might be amiss at Apple — maybe it’s biting off more than it can chew, or maybe it’s not devoting enough resources to the iPhone, or maybe the tenth-anniversary iPhone is so special that it needs more time to cook — but if true, this is little more than an internal issue for Apple to deal with and highly unlikely to derail the iPhone or doom the company.
