Every year, before the unveiling, there are usually a number of stories saying that production issues or problems with suppliers will cause major delays once the new iPhones are released. This year was no exception. But Apple continues to handle the strong, steady demand for the 2023 iPhone models without forcing consumers to wait too long for their new phones to arrive.
