Loading ...Could the Leopard delays mean delays for the iPhone as well? iSuppli analyst Jagdish Rebello seems to think that this may be the case. According to him "we're hearing it's mostly an issue with the complexity of the device."
The problem does not appear to be hardware-related, which would be why they pulled software engineers from the Leopard project. Everything seems to be on track with the hardware, as the component manufacturers are still slated to deliver their individual pieces on time.
It is likely that whatever issues were found cropped up late in the testing phase, since they probably didn't pull the Leopard engineers until just recently. Whatever the case may be, even though there may be a delay for the iPhone, it is likely to still launch in late June. So that raises a good question. Can it really be considered delayed if it arrives at the end of June? We've not heard an actual confirmed launch date from Apple, for all we know their intention could have been to release it at the end of June all along.

LATE June? OMG! And what if they release it five minutes after midnight on the evening of the 30th? Won’t that be technically July? What will we do then?!?!?!?!!
Puh-leeze.
Yes, it’s a tragedy. I do find it amusing that the phone is being “delayed” until late June when the only thing Apple has said is that it will arrive sometime in June. Doesn’t sound like a delay to me, sounds like it’s right on schedule.
The longer the iphone is delayed,the more impatient consumers get and competitors can catch up to apple and offer their new phones.
Say it isn’t so!
