According to an analyst, the iPhone 6 (click here for more on the Apple iPhone 6) will have a 4.8-inch screen and the version of the iPad Mini (click here for on the Apple iPad Mini) with a Retina Display will be delayed.
Citi analyst Glen Yeung wrote in a note to investors that the production of the iPhone 5S (click here for more on the Apple iPhone 5S) “has been delayed by two to four weeks.”
He added, “And while this does not preclude a September iPhone 5S launch date, we suspect volumes in September may consequently be challenged.”
Speaking about the iPhone 6, he writes, “We…expect a 4.8 [inch] screen iPhone 6 to be launched in 1Q14.”
Speaking about the iPad Mini with Retina Display, he writes, “Whereas we had been expecting a new iPad 5, iPad Mini 2, and iPad Mini Retina in 2H13 [the second half of 2013], we now believe that iPad Mini Retina has been delayed until late C4Q13 [calendar fourth quarter] or C1Q14. This puts the emphasis on the reduced-price iPad Mini 2 (we expect this to be priced at $230-$250 versus $329 for the current iPad Mini), ostensibly to better compete with the plethora of low-priced competing tablets, but creating some risk to 2H13 iPad revenue estimates in the process.”
Speaking about the iPad 5, he writes, “We continue to expect iPad 5 to sport characteristics similar to iPad Mini (slimmer, lighter), although the prospect of a higher-end solution (like the MS Surface Pro) seems unlikely given discussions with Intel have not resulted in an Intel design win at 22nm. We note that 3Q13 is expected to be the last quarter of iPad 2 and iPad 4 production.”
