The iPhone release date was recently pushed back to the end of June due to software problems, according to certain reports.
Research firm iSuppli checked with all the iPhone component suppliers and found that all were on schedule, indicating that the delays were caused by the software.
“We’re hearing it’s mostly an issue with the complexity of the device,” said iSuppli analyst Jagdish Rebello.
The expert also suggested that the shift of software team members from Mac OS X Leopard to the iPhone was in response to issues discovered late into the testing phase. “Typically the manufacturer and the service provider are making sure the phone meets all its specifications,” he said. “It’s clear they have found some issues that they need to fix.”
