The information comes from a tipster named Revegnus, who cited yield issues with Sony, the supplier of image sensors for the iPhone 15 Pro Max.

Sony's yield issues are related to the production of the image sensors, which are believed to be the same as those used in the iPhone 14 Pro Max but manufactured using a different procedure.

This delay aligns with recent reports, including one mentioning production issues with the display manufacturing technique for thinner bezels on the iPhone 15 Pro models.
