Tech giant Apple Inc. is reportedly gearing up to release its new iPhone with a larger initial production than previous models, iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus. 90 million units of the new 2015 iPhone model will be shipped this year, iDigital Times reported on Wednesday.
iDigital Times said that Apple's upcoming smartphone is expected to be launched in September. The rumored Apple device will have two versions, one with a 4.7-inch screen and one with 5.5-inch display, which are similar to the smartphones released in 2014.
However, the report noted that as of the time being, it is still vague if Apple's upcoming device will use the name "iPhone 7" or "iPhone 6s." What is clear though is that Apple wants to surpass the success it had with the iPhone 6 and 6 Plus. The report disclosed that the company actually shipped between 70 million to 80 million iPhone 6 and 6 Plus units during its initial production.
Meanwhile, a report from Macrumors pointed out that Apple's upcoming iPhone will likely be called "iPhone 6s" and "iPhone 6s Plus." The said devices will feature Apple's Force Touch technology which can reportedly distinguish a light tap from a deep press. The phones will also have new color option, which is said to be either rose gold or pink. The report hinted that Foxconn and Pegatron will serve as the main suppliers for Apple's upcoming smartphone.
Aside from these, the rumored Apple iPhone is said to be powered by Apple's A9 processor with a 2 GB of random access memory (RAM) and an improved Qualcomm LTE chip. It will also reportedly sport a 12 MP rear camera. However, all these remain to be rumors unless Apple finally makes an official announcement.
