iPhone 18為何延後上市?日專家曝新說法 竟跟三星有關

標準版iPhone 18傳聞明年春季登場。

蘋果今年秋季推出iPhone 18 Pro系列及首款摺疊手機iPhone Duo,標準版iPhone 18缺席,預計要等到明年春季才會登場。外界原先猜測,可能與記憶體供應吃緊,或蘋果調整新機上市策略有關。不過,日本產業專家提出不同看法,認為背後恐怕「另有隱情」,而且關鍵可能就在三星身上。

日本產業專家服部毅分析,蘋果可能正準備打破多年來由Sony獨家供應iPhone相機感光元件的模式,讓三星加入供應鏈。然而,由於三星需要時間生產足夠產量的感光元件,可能因此影響標準版iPhone 18的上市時程,以確保新機供貨穩定。

值得注意的是,Sony財務長陶琳在近日財報會議上,也曾提到客戶向多家供應商採購是正常的商業慣例。這番話被外界解讀為,Sony間接承認長年獨家供應iPhone相機感光元件的地位,可能即將出現變化。

不過,標準版iPhone 18延後上市是否真的與三星有關,目前仍只是產業專家的推測。蘋果至今未公開說明標準版iPhone 18缺席秋季發表會的原因,也未證實新機將導入三星的相機感光元件。

對一般消費者來說,最關心的恐怕是,如果iPhone未來同時採用Sony和三星的相機感光元件,拍照表現是否會有所不同。

另一方面,若三星正式加入供應鏈,蘋果也能減少對Sony單一供應商的依賴,並透過兩家廠商競爭,爭取更有利的採購價格。不過,受到目前記憶體價格持續上漲的影響,即使相機零組件成本降低,也不代表標準版iPhone 18就會賣得更便宜。
