Claims full production of iPhone X has not started yet

Those hoping to be among the first to own Apple's $999 iPhone X could be left empty-handed come November 3, a new report suggests. Apple initially targeted the November release date for the highly-anticipated device amid rumours of delays, with pre-orders to begin in October – but, the report claims Apple still has yet to begin final production of the handset. After meetings with supply chain companies in Asia, analyst Christopher Case says the iPhone X is facing an'incremental delay in the build plans,' with production now set to begin mid-way through next month. The devices will ship on November 3. The price will be $999 (£999) for the 64GB version and $1,149 (£1,149) for the 256GB version. In an investor's note obtained by Barron's, Raymond James chip analyst Christopher Caso reveals iPhone X production is, as many have suspected, about a month behind schedule.
