iPhone 5S Delayed Due To Production Issues [ Report]

Supply chain insiders told Glen Yeung of Citigroup that iPhone 5S, and the iPad Mini have been delayed further.
"With respect to the iPhone 5S, our checks suggest production has been delayed by 2-4 weeks, likely due to display issues. And while this does not preclude a September iPhone 5S launch date, we suspect volumes in September may consequently be challenged. As an aside, we continue to expect a 4.8" screen iPhone 6 to be launched in 1Q14."

 

The report further stated that iPad Mini Retina Display is real, but it won't arrive before Q4. The iPad Mini 2 would be cheaper than current generation iPad Mini, which costs Rs. 21,990 in the Indian market.
"This puts the emphasis on the reduced-price iPad Mini2 (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."

Talking about iPad 5 which is rumored to be announced at WWDC; it will be slimmer and thinner like iPad Mini. This instance perfectly fits with what other sources have been telling since past few months.
"We continue to expect iPad5 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 iPad2 and iPad4 production."
