The outlet reports that the theme will indeed be new iPhones, which should mean the company's official unveiling of the iPhone 6.

Apple’s 5.5-inch iPhone 6 Set To Feature Higher-End Specs‏

<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"> <div dir="ltr"> <span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">Almost all reports claim Apple will launch two iPhone 6 models in 2014, one 4.7-inch and another 5.5-inch. This wouldn’t be the first time Apple looks to add a second size to the range; the MacBook, iMac, iPad, and iPod lines all offer variable sizes, the iPhone stands alone.</span></span></div> <span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"> </span></span><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">The report also fits with the growing concern from Apple about Samsung and the growth of their two high-end lines, the Galaxy S and Galaxy Note. The 4.7-inch model looks to go after the Galaxy S, HTC One and other flagships, while the 5.5-inch model competes with the Galaxy Note, Xperia Z Ultra and HTC One Max.<img alt="iPhone 6 mock up" class="lazy alignnone size-full wp-image-17834 data-lazy-ready" data-lazy-src="http://news.filehippo.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/08/iPhone-6-mockups.png" data-lazy-type="image" height="364" src="http://news.filehippo.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/08/iPhone-6-mockups.png" style="display: inline;" width="708" /></span></span><br /> <span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"> </span></span><h3> <span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">The iPhablet</span></span></h3> <span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"> </span></span><div dir="ltr"> <span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">The new report from <a href="http://appleinsider.com/articles/14/08/04/analyst-apple-could-equip-55-iphone-6-with-more-powerful-processor-than-47-model" target="_blank">Apple Insider</a>, citing Cowen & Co. analyst Timothy Arcuri, claims supply chain sources have started preparing different application processors for the 5.5-inch iPhone. Apple will add a larger and more powerful A8 chip to the 5.5-inch iPhone 6, in order to cull buyers into paying more.</span></span></div> <span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"> </span></span><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">The two application processors will be named the A8, but will be separated in their development. Apple might look to simply up the specs on the higher-end A8 chip, offering faster speeds and lowering power usage, to make the 5.5-inch iPhone 6 offer more impressive stats.</span></span><br /> <span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"> </span></span><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">Manufacturing will be done partly by Apple’s rival Samsung and partly by TSMC, a Taiwanese semiconductor company. This report does have a bit of conflict, with other reports saying TSMC won the full rights to production, following Apple’s move away from Samsung.</span></span><br /> <span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"> </span></span><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">Foxconn will also be involved in the main manufacturing of the iPhone 6, alongside Pegatron, another Chinese manufacturer. Apple will get the sapphire glass for the front of the iPhone 6 in the United States, from local factories in Texas.</span></span><br /> <span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"> </span></span><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">Apple is projecting around 80 million sales of the iPhone 6 before the end of 2014. This appears to be for both versions, although the 5.5-inch iPhone 6 might be available later in the year or perhaps at the start of 2015.</span></span><br /> <br /> <span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">SOURCE-<a href="http://news.filehippo.com/2014/08/apples-5-5-inch-iphone-6-set-feature-higher-end-specs%E2%80%8F/" target="_blank">TECH BEAT </a></span></span></div>

The panel was tortured with a knife and some keys, and no scratches were found after that. The panel has also been bent, and it looks like it’s really flexible. The second video was posted by well-known Apple insider Sonny Dickson - who, in fact, seems to have provided the panel seen in MKBHD’s video, too.<br /> <br />Apple will probably announce the new iPhone 6 in September. What do you think, can this ultra-durable, flexible sapphire crystal front panel be one of its key selling points?<iframe allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="360" src="//www.youtube.com/embed/5R0_FJ4r73s?feature=player_embedded" width="640"></iframe></span><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span> <span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span><br /> <span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">SOURCE-<a href="http://www.phonearena.com/news/iPhone-6s-4.7-inch-sapphire-crystal-display-tortured-on-video_id57933" target="_blank">PHONE ARENA</a></span></div>
