Mass Production of 4.7-Inch iPhone 6 Set for July, 5.5-Inch Version Beginning in September

According to Japanese website EMSOne (http://www.emsodm.com/html/2014/04/09/1397013958796.html) [Google Translate (http://translate.google.com/translate?js=n&sl=auto&tl=en&u=http://www.emsodm.com/html/2014/04/09/1397013958796.html), via G for Games (http://www.gforgames.com/gadgets/iphone-6-mass-production-july-september-release-date-q4-42002/)] citing Taiwan's Industrial and Commercial Times, Apple is planning to begin mass production of the 4.7-inch iPhone 6 in July with the larger 5.5-inch version to enter mass production in September.
 
 The report notes that both versions of the next-generation iPhone will go on sale at some point during the fourth quarter of this year, with the 4.7-inch iPhone being announced and released earlier than the 5.5-inch iPhone.

  <center> Renderings (http://www.macrumors.com/2014/04/08/iphone-6-renderings/) of iPhone 6 (4.7") and iPhone 6 (5.7") based on leaked schematics (http://www.macrumors.com/2014/03/28/drawings-iphone-6c/) </center>
 The news comes as a report (http://www.macrumors.com/2014/04/01/4-7-iphone-6-fall-5-5-version-delayed/) from Reuters last month stated that Apple would begin production of the 4.7-inch display to be used in the iPhone 6 this May for the device's release this fall. The report also noted that the 5.5-inch version of the iPhone 6 would be delayed due to difficulties with in-cell production technology, and would start production several months after the 4.7-inch version.
 
 A report (http://www.macrumors.com/2014/04/01/4-7-iphone-6-fall-5-5-version-delayed/) last month from Japanese newspaper Nikkei stated that the iPhone 6 could launch "as early as September" and will be offered in 4.7-inch and 5.5-inch display sizes. This contrasted a claim (http://www.macrumors.com/2014/04/01/4-7-iphone-6-fall-5-5-version-delayed/) from UBS analyst Steve Milunovich, who said that the 4.7-inch version of the iPhone 6 might be the only model to launch later this year, as a timeframe for the larger 5.5-inch version was unclear.
 
 Internal documents (http://www.macrumors.com/2014/04/06/consumers-want-larger-iphones/) from the second ongoing trial between Apple and Samsung also indicate that Apple is poised to release a larger phone, as a slide deck (http://www.scribd.com/doc/216526160/Apple-Fy-14-Planning) from an April 2013 presentation showed that customers want less expensive and most notably, larger screen smartphones.
 
 In addition to a larger display, Apple’s next-generation iPhone is expected to feature a durable, sapphire screen (http://www.macrumors.com/2014/02/12/new-iphones-flat-sapphire-displays/), and a thinner, bezel-free (http://www.macrumors.com/2014/02/12/iphone-ipad-thinner-backlights/) design in addition to processor (http://www.macrumors.com/2014/01/09/iphone-6-camera-8-megapixel/) and camera (http://www.macrumors.com/2014/01/09/iphone-6-camera-8-megapixel/) upgrades.
