According to the note, component makers had to change their production processes after Apple made design changes to the iPad 2 before the Lunar New Year at the beginning of February.
Hon Hai declined to comment on the note. Apple was not immediately available for comment.
The note said if the launch of the iPad 2 is delayed by two months, total iPad shipments would be 23 million units this year, down from the broker's original forecast of 30.6 million units.
Morgan Keegan analyst Tavis McCourt said investors were overreacting to Yuanta's note, adding that even if a late launch hurts second quarter sales, he is not changing his expectation for full year sales of 27 million iPads.
"My guess is if it is delayed it is because they're getting new features in there so it could be worth a two month delay," McCourt said.
Manufacturing sources have previously said the new model would have cameras on the front and back of the device and would be slimmer, lighter and have a better resolution display than the first iPad.
