Fingerprint Sensor Causing Production Issues iPhone 5S
Although we have seen little evidence of leak or images shaped to support the fact that the iPhone 5S will use Fingerprint Scanner that has been rumored several times. It also makes sense that Apple would implement biometric security into an iPhone.
Fingerprint Sensor Causing Production Issues iPhone 5S
Appears to the delay because fingerprint recognition chip designed by AuthenTec will cause a delay of about 3 million iPhone 5S. Depending on the popularity a new handset, that almost guaranteed to be very high demand, this could lead to supply bottlenecks early.
Poor yields of fingerprint-recognition chips and LCD driver ICs will likely force Apple to reduce first-quarter shipments of the rumored iPhone 5S, which is slated for launch in September 2013, according to industry sources.
Volume production of fingerprint-recognition and LCD driver chips for the iPhone 5S should have started at the end of June or early in July, but issues related to yield rates will delay commercial production of the two chips to the end of July, therefore affecting the initial supply of the iPhone 5S, the sources explained.
The iPhone 5S is widely likely to be released in September or October so hopefully Apple have enough time to resolve this issue. If not, you may have difficulty getting the iPhone 5S, as has happened many times in the past.
