sorry for the late response

This phrase is correct.

"Sorry for the late response" is one way to apologize for taking too long to reply to someone.

Some languages allow the subject "I" to be omitted from sentences. This isn't usually allowed in English, but this sentence is an exception.

However, "I'm sorry for the late response" sounds more polite and sincere.
