Report claims production of 5.5-inch iPhone 6, new iPads pushed back to September

Reports have surfaced that the bigger 5.5-inch version of the iPhone will start production at a later date than the 4.7-inch model. The Taiwanese media have been reporting that production for that larger Apple smartphone will start in September, which is reportedly the month when the 4.7-inch will hit stores. Production capacity will also reportedly be limited at first with manufacturing set to increase by 84 percent by the fourth quarter of 2014.

According to the same Taiwanese report, the new iPad mini and iPad Air will also start mass production in September. Not much is known about the next-gen tablets except both might have Apple’s Touch ID sensor. Of course, we all have to take these reports with a grain of salt. But it does give us a timeline of sorts when to expect the newest goodies from Apple.
