Report: Apple to hold mid-September event to unveil the Apple iPhone 6

According to a report published on Wednesday, Apple is planning to hold an event in the middle of September to unveil the Apple iPhone 6. At the same time, there will be more information released about iOS 8. A keynote address will be held during the event, which will take place in the second or third week of September. Previous speculation centered on a September 19th unveiling, a date that was first mentioned by Germany's Deutsche Telekom.

The 4.7 inch Apple iPhone 6 is expected to show up at the event. Apple is said to be undecided about whether the larger 5.5 inch version of the iPhone will be ready in time to also make an appearance. According to those familiar with the plans, the 4.7 inch Apple iPhone 6 has been more thoroughly tested than the phablet sized version of the iPhone.

While Apple announced yesterday that it sold 35.2 million units of the Apple iPhone during its fiscal third quarter, Apple CFO Luca Maestri said that the company could have sold more had it not been for the "new product rumors".

Yes. And if CFO Luca Maestri understood why sales slowed down for the iPhone 5s and 5c because people are tired of the same thing. The only people that love apple's sameness are case manufacturers. They only have to change there molds every 2 years. I've told everyone to wait if you want an iPhone. The 5s is not that compelling to buy over whatever the iPhone 6 will be. People been screaming for a larger iPhone.

35.2 million is more than 31.2 that apple sold in the last year same quarter. So sorry your logic is extremely wrong. Apple is the only one selling premium phones at small screen sizes. No other manufacturer does this. That is why iPhone 5 has sold so well.

Yeah everyone says wait when they know the new one is coming. It has nothing to do with "people [being] tired of the same thing", with any phone people will want to get the new one.

Your whole comment is a fail and you don't even realize it lol. What the guy was saying is that the numbers were great, but they could have been even better. You are twisting it as if he is saying they were bad lol! You need to go back and read the report playa.

Looks like I need to find an even bigger and stronger guy than you by offering him a cut ahead of me then that can protect me against you. Of course, I must ensure that he does not want to buy a 128GB 5.5" model.
