Recently, we have been hearing reports from multiple sources that Apple still plans on launching the iPhone 12 in 2020. However, even then it might be delayed. Now a new report from The Wall Street Journal has corroborated those reports, where they claim that production of the new iPhones could be delayed by a month.
What this means is that instead of a late September release, Apple could instead be forced to release their new iPhones in October. This seems to line up with an earlier report, although that report noted that it could possibly be pushed to November. This is all allegedly due to the coronavirus outbreak that has impacted the way Apple approaches its products.
For example, factories in China were forced to shut down during the early stages of the virus outbreak. Then there are also travel restrictions that have been put into place to prevent the virus from spreading, and as such, it has been reported that Apple’s engineers are unable to fly out to the production facilities to test some of the features like 5G.
That being said, this would not be the first time Apple has delayed the release of an iPhone. With the iPhone X, the handset only launched in November in 2017. The iPhone XR was also similarly delayed where it only reached stores in October 2018. Obviously the report should be taken with a grain of salt for now, but if you were planning to get the 2020 iPhones, you could be in for a wait, and even then supply could be limited.

Due to the fact that travel restrictions are in place around the world, it also means that many planes have been grounded. Some of these planes are being used to help transport medical equipment, but it now it looks like there could be another possible use for these ground aircrafts which could help patients infected by the COVID-19 virus.
According to Dr. Daniel Reynolds, the founder of Lungfish Dive Systems that makes scuba gear, he has suggested that maybe these planes could be used as hyperbaric chambers to treat COVID-19 patients who are experiencing difficulty in breathing (which is one of the more severe symptoms of the disease).
This is because planes usually have to climb to pretty high altitudes during a flight and as a result, the air is too thin for people to breathe. As a result, planes come with the ability to pressurize the cabins to breathable levels, so Reynolds suggests that these grounded aircrafts could increase cabin pressure between 1.6 to 2 atmospheres, essentially transforming them into makeshift hyperbaric chambers.
Reynolds is not alone in floating the idea of using hyperbaric chambers to treat COVID-19 patients suffering from Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome (ARDS), but for now it is only a theory and further testing and studying needs to be done before it can be used or even approved as a potential treatment.
