Although the iPhone 5 was released in October 2012, many analysts believe that the iPhone 5S will be released in the summer.
However, an analyst, Ming-Chi Kuo, in a report yesterday said that we shouldn't have much hope for an iPhone this summer because Apple is having problems producing fingerprint sensors and that the phone won't be released before the third quarter of 2013.
While we hate analysts who make claims without any source, Kuo has been pretty reliable in the past, so it might be worth listening to him. He also says that the iPad mini 2 will be delayed, and that none of the three devices (iPhone 5S, iPhone mini, and iPad mini 2) will be announced before July.
The problem with the iPhone 5's fingerprint sensors is that Apple can't find the right paint coating that won't create interference, and it was a problem it didn't expect.
