The release date for the 4.7 inch iPhone 6 will come pretty soon as production is underway, with Pegatron being responsible for the 50% of the total production.

According to DigiTimes, Pegatron landed a contract with Apple and will be in charge of the 25 million units out of the 50 million units of the next generation of iPhone. Unnamed sources from the manufacturer said that the supply will be shipped before the end of 2014. The report also claimed that the other half of the supply will be taken care of Foxconn.

On the other hand, Foxconn will be solely responsible for the production of the larger iPhone 6 that has been rumored to pack a 5.5 inch screen display. There is no word yet for the exact date of the onset of the iPhone 6 production.

Analysts expected that there will be a high demand for the iPhone 6. That is why the two Apple suppliers went on a hiring spree to help in the assembly line in the factories in Taiwan.

At the moment, reports claimed that the iPhone 6 is currently in PVT (Product Validation Test) stage, which is the final stage before a device enters mass production. This means that the assembly line is checking for possible issues and damages that may hinder the production.

According to rumors, the iPhone 6 will be available in two variants – one with 4.7 screen panel that is set to arrive next month, the other variant is set to pack a 5.5 inches screen display reported to arrive in October. Some of the other rumored features of the iPhone 6 are 64-bit A8 processor, iOS 8, as well as improved fingerprint sensor and camera.

Latest reports claimed that iPhone 6 release date will be on Sept. 9, which is earlier than previous rumors that claimed that the handset will be launched on Sept. 19 based on previous iPhone releases.
