Various Apple products could delay launch

Ming-chi Kuo, analyst at  KGI Securities, said, based on his research, that some mobile products that Apple planned to launch this year could be delayed due to problems at the level of development. What products are we talking about? Well are 3 highly anticipated devices: the iPhone 5S, iPad 2 and iPhone Mini low cost . With the exception of the second generation of the iPad Mini, much has already been said about these devices before. Recall that the iPhone 5S will be available in different sizes and have a tech fingerprint recognition, it is said that it has entered production but can not be sure as we see rumors contradict each other sometimes.

It seems that in case of occurrence of a delay in the launch of the iPhone 5S, would be due to the implementation of the technology of digital fingerprint reader. The sensor will be located below the Home button. It is also said that the delay could be due to development problems iOS 7 might be related also with the fingerprint sensor.

Regarding the low-cost iPhone, it seems that the plastic housing of the device is still difficult to manufacture, while the delay of iPad Mini 2 is due to a problem with the screen, which would be a Retina type.

Do you plan to buy any of these products once they go on sale?
