Peter Misek, that well-known analyst from Jeffries is back with more news on the iPhone front. He tells us that the new iPhone 5S will be launched sometime in the summer as it will be going to manufacturing in March. He also tells us that there’s a strong possibility of a big Apple event in March, mainly to unveil a brand new SDK – softwaredevelopment kit for those that don’t know. This will enable all you programmers and developers to write apps and games for 1080p displays on the Apple TV set-top box.
And now he tells us that the 4.8” iPhone 6 will not be released until 2014. He first announced that this phone was being worked on in December last year and that it would be released this year. This was followed up by a report from DigiTimes that it would be next year before we saw it and that now seems to be the case. Misek based his original report on sights of a few prototypes for the iPhone 6, one of which had the larger screen.
There could be one more reason for the delay though; it has been alleged that Apple want the A7 package on the 20-nanometer process from TSMC (Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company) but it appears that this won’t be available before 2014. It’s yet another case of wait and see but speculate all you like in the meantime.
