Apple may unveil iPhone 6 on Sept 9

Apple Inc is likely to unveil its new version of the iPhone next month, according to several media reports.

The US technology giant has scheduled a “big” media event for September 9 where it could unveil larger-screen smartphones, tech news website Re/code said.

Apple has released a new iPhone each year, and typically around mid-September — but the company has not officially confirmed the date, Forbes noted.

The potential timing of the launch suggests that the iPhone 6 could be available in stores on Sept. 19, it said.

Apple will release two new, larger iPhone 6 models with displays of 4.7 and 5.5 inches, according to market speculation.

The Wall Street Journal reported that the company has asked its suppliers to make 70-80 million units of the new phones.
