Desi toate zvonurile publicate pana acum sugereazain mod clar faptul ca iPhone 5S urmeaza sa fie lansat in vara impreuna cu un iPhone ieftin, un analist sustine ca lansarea acestor produse ar putea fi amanata din cauza problemelor de productie. Implementarea unui cititor de amprente in iPhone 5S, implementarea unui Retina Display in iPad Mini 2 si colorarea/tratarea carcasei din fibra de carbon pentru iPhone-ul ieftin ar genera probleme de productie pentru compania Apple, aceste probleme urmand a amana cu cateva luni de zile lansarea respectivelor produse.
Earlier we estimated that shipments of the new iPhone would begin in July (FDD version) and September (TDD version), while iPad mini 2 would hit the market in August. Currently, market consensus for shipments of iPhone 5S, low-cost iPhone and iPad mini 2 is July, July, and August, respectively. But in light of publicly available information and our knowledge of technological trends, we now think all three products will begin shipments later than our previous expectation and market consensus.
Prezentand 3 scenarii posibile pentru lansarea celor 3 produse, analistul sustine ca luna septembrie ar fi cea mai apropiata in care iPhone 5S ar putea ajunge pe piata, adica la exact un an de zile dupa lansarea iPhone 5. Lansarile s-ar putea intinde pana in luna noiembrie, adica exact precum anul trecut cand Apple a lasat mai mult de o luna de zile intre lansarea produselor, acest lucru neavand vreun impact asupra vanzarilor. Daca va intrebati ce anume tine in loc lansarile, ei bine in continuare aveti detaliile.: gasirea unei culori potrivite pentru a acoperi cititorul de amprente fara a genera interferente senzorului si implementarea functionalitatii in iOS 7; gasirea unei combinatii potrivite pentru colorarea si tratarea carcasei iPhone-ului ieftin; gasirea unui proces de productie cu yield rate mare pentru Retina Display-urile iPad Mini 2.
Fingerprint sensor for iPhone 5S. Work on finding the right color coatings in order to prevent interference with the sensor offers a technical challenge for Apple, and software integration in iOS 7 will also require additional work.
Color coatings for lower-cost iPhone. Apple’s lower-cost iPhone has been rumored to be arriving with a plastic shell in a number of different colors, and Apple’s efforts to keep the shell as thin as possible will likely lead to production ramping issues for coatings and surface treatments.
iPad mini Retina display. Kuo expects the second-generation iPad mini to adopt a Retina display, and technical challenges related to its design and manufacture are likely to slow Apple’s release timetable.
Indiferent ce va alege Apple sa faca, pana acum am avut doar zvonuri privind lansarile si nimic sigur, deci orice decizie nu ii poate fi reclamata.
