We have been hearing mixed reports about the iPhone 12 launch in the face of the coronavirus pandemic, with some claiming the upcoming lineup will not be affected as production will resume by May, and others stating various supply-side constraints and issues related to demand can very well affect the announcement. A new report from DigiTimes gives a more positive outlook, claiming that supply chain partners have rebuffed reports that Apple has ordered a delay in production.

According to the report, Taiwanese manufacturers that make printed circuit boards (PCBs) for iPhones have negated rumors that claimed that the Cupertino-based company has asked them to postpone volume production of the iPhone 12 family by two months. According to another report by the same media outlet, Apple supplier Pegatron has raised concerns regarding the disruptions that will be caused by travel restrictions placed because of COVID-19.
