iPhone maker Apple is putting the heat on its suppliers to cut down on production delays in completing work on its 5G models, the Nikkei Asian Review says, adding that the Cupertino-based giant was contemplating delays of between four weeks and two months in bringing the devices to market.

Mass iPhone production in China, which normally occurs just before Apple announces its line-up of devices to be released in September, will be delayed by about a month, The Wall Street Journal reports, citing people familiar with the company's plans.

The global adoption of the 5G network is set to skyrocket in the next five years, with new data estimating that by 2025 the number of 5G connections is expected to hit 2.7 billion worldwide - a growth of at least 20 times from this year’s figure of 120 million, according to one analyst firm.
