We've asked Apple if it can comment, although it typically doesn't talk about leaks.

It's not unheard of for Apple or other OS developers to push back major features. The release of iOS 9 focused more on under-the-hood improvements, while macOS has tended to alternate between major upgrades and subtler refinements like this year's High Sierra. Google mostly focused on behind-the-scenes tweaks with Android Oreo. In all cases, though, they produce mixed reactions. While you'll certainly see arguments that Apple should get its software house in order, this won't please those who want Apple to be more aggressive -- especially now that it has a brand new iPhone design to work with.
