The iPhone 6S hasn’t even been officially announced yet and we’re already getting reports out of China that the upcoming smartphone has been hit with delays. Apparently Apple has been forced to pull back order for the iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus in order to free some capacity for its manufacturers to produce the iPhone 6S. 

The assembly lines preparing to churn out Apple’s next-generation iPhones have reportedly been briefly delayed, with full-scale production now slated to start later this month in advance of a likely September introduction. Apple has pulled back orders for the current-generation iPhone 6 and 6 Plus to free manufacturing capacity for its new handsets, according to KGI Securities analyst Ming-Chi Kuo. Kuo’s report was first noted by UDN. Kuo believes that longtime Apple partner Foxconn will be asked to handle 60 percent of the orders for the so-called “iPhone 6s,” with Pegatron picking up the rest. Orders for the larger “iPhone 6s Plus” would be filled entirely by Foxconn. Relatively little is know about Apple’s next-generation iPhones, though they are expected to add Force Touch capability along with a new A9 processor. Some say that they could also add another gigabyte of RAM to take the base capacity to 2 gigabytes.
