“KGI Securities analyst Ming-Chi Kuo, who has a respectable track record in revealing Apple’s future product plans, issued a note on Sunday,” Neil Hughes reports for AppleInsider. “In it, he revealed that while Apple’s 4.7-inch ‘iPhone 6’ is still expected to debut this fall, the larger 5.5-inch model could be introduced at a later date.”
“According to Kuo, Apple is already facing production bottlenecks on the 4.7-inch model related to the new technology for the device’s in-cell touch panel, as well as color unevenness on the redesigned ‘iPhone 6’ metal casing,” Hughes reports. “Those problems are said to be even worse with the larger 5.5-inch model.”
“The analyst did hold out some hope that the 5.5-inch ‘iPhone 6’ could launch in 2014,” Hughes reports. “But even if that happens, he said it’s likely to occur after mid-fourth-quarter, which would mean after mid-November — a much later timeframe than Apple has launched new iPhone models in recent years.”
