Apple suppliers close to resolving the iPhone X production issues KGI Securities analyst Ming-Chi Kuo has sent out his latest report on Apple to investors. The analyst said Apple would have only 2-3 million iPhone X units ready before the Nov.3 launch. In the past, Kuo and other investors have blamed the 3D sensing modules for production issues. But KGI Securities says in its latest report that Apple is facing supply shortages for multiple components including circuit boards for the phone's antenna, wide-angle rear camera, and the 3D infrared dot projector.
