Apple iPhone X could be delayed due to 3D camera problem

Apple's radical FaceID system is still causing major production issues for the firm just weeks before its launch, it has been claimed. The firm's suppliers are still struggling to perfect manufacturing of the iPhone X's TrueDepth camera and 3D facial recognition system, according to Japan's Nikkei Asian Review. Jeff Pu, an analyst with Taipei-based Yuanta Investment Consulting, believes the problems could mean Apple will face even bigger shortages of its flagship handset than previously thought. The latest forecast from Ming-Chi Kuo of KGI says Apple still cannot make enough of the handsets due to technical problems with the front facing TrueDepth camera it uses to scan people's faces. Multiple reports have claimed it has taken more time to assemble the TrueDepth system's so-called'Romeo' module than the'Juliet' module.
