iPhone 6 Reportedly Entering Final Quality Control Stage Ahead of Mass Production

New reports (http://www.weibo.com/1481944214/BhL6NBEGB) from Chinese media sources (Google Translate (http://translate.google.com/translate?js=n&sl=auto&tl=en&u=http://www.weibo.com/1481944214/BhL6NBEGB), via G for Games (http://www.gforgames.com/gadgets/iphone-6-currently-in-pvt-44773/)) claim that the iPhone 6 has entered a final product validation testing stage ahead of mass production before its launch this fall. Apple is reportedly working with Foxconn's Zhengzhou factory to produce a small number of units to ensure quality control standards have been implemented, as the device will then be mass produced at Apple's various supply partners.

 Previously, a report (http://www.macrumors.com/2014/07/25/mass-production-iphone-6/) last month claimed that Apple had already begun mass production for the iPhone 6, however it is possible that reported production (http://www.macrumors.com/2014/07/13/iphone-6-production-issues-5-5-inch-delay-2015/) issues may have led to delayed testing and output. It is also unknown whether this final testing stage is for both the 4.7-inch and 5.5-inch iPhone 6, as Apple has reportedly had issues in producing the latter's sapphire display (http://www.macrumors.com/2014/05/06/sapphire-display-iphone-6/) and battery life (http://www.macrumors.com/2014/04/22/apple-delaying-5-5-iphone-air-battery/).
 
 Apple's iPhone 6 is expected to be announced at a launch event on Tuesday, September 9 (http://www.macrumors.com/2014/08/05/apple-to-hold-iphone-event-on-september-9/). In addition to a larger screen, the device will likely incorporate a thinner, rounded form factor and feature a faster and more efficient A8 chip (http://www.macrumors.com/2014/07/11/a8-2-ghz/), as well as an improved camera (http://www.macrumors.com/2014/06/24/optical-image-stabilization-iphone-6/) with stabilization.
