1. According to analyst Ming-Chi Kuo, Apple has delayed a change aimed at saving space inside future iPhones. The change was related to the implementation of a new flexible printed circuit board (FPCB) design for the Taptic Engine, which is responsible for the iPhone's haptic feedback.
2. Kuo states that Apple had planned to adopt a new FPCB design that would have reduced the size of the Taptic Engine, allowing for more space inside the iPhone. However, this change has now been delayed, likely due to technical challenges or supply chain issues.
3. The delay in implementing this space-saving measure could impact Apple's ability to introduce new features or technologies in future iPhones, as the available internal space may be more limited. This highlights the ongoing challenges Apple faces in balancing the design and functionality of its devices while maintaining its signature compact form factor.
