Apple Inc.’s (NASDAQ:AAPL) iPhone launch will be the biggest ever, as Bloomberg reports that the company has instructed suppliers to produce between 70 million and 80 million devices. The Phones will also receive an upgrade in terms of screen sizes coming in at 4.7 inches and 5.5 inches diagonally.
According to Bloomberg’s Scarlet Fu,
“Apple iPhone launch this fall will be its biggest ever in more ways than one. The screens will be larger, 4.7 and 5.5 inches, according to the Wall Street Journal. Apple is asking Suppliers for up to 80 million phones that will be the company’s biggest initial order ever.”
The 80 million phones order will be the largest in its history compared to the initial order of between 50 million and 60 million made last year for iPhone 5S and iPhone 5C. Foxconn and Pegatron have already initiated plans to start mass production of the 4.7-inch iPhone model. Hon Hai Precision Industry as subsidiary of Foxconn will begin the production of the 5.5-inch phone as early as September this year, according to people with inside information.
iPhone 6 phones are expected to be larger than the 4 inch for the current iPhone’s 5C and iPhone 5S. Sources indicate that Apple Inc.’s (NASDAQ:AAPL) iPhone 6 will roll out with a cell-touch panel technology embedded in the screen that will allow for thinner construction than the current touch panel films.
