Apple iPhone 6 enters 'final stages' before starting mass production to meet Autumn release date

Apple's new iPhone has reportedly entered the 'final stages' of quality control, before it begins full scale mass production.

Chinese sources report the phone has entered the last stage of product testing before the assembly line kicks in at full speed


This would be the seventh generation of iPhones from technology giant Apple. It is expected to be released at some stage in 2014, and is expected to have fingerprint security technology and wireless charging. Some have said that Apple are developing a new plastic cases that allow you to see the inside of the phone.


The tech giant have partnered with manufacturer Foxconn to produce a small number of devices to ensure high standards of production before the assembly line kicks into top gear, according to Chinese media.

It was previously thought that the full scale assembly process had already started - although it's not clear whether this testing applies to both the 4.7 and 5.5 inch models.

There was speculation that the larger model was to be delayed - either as a result of production issues, or deliberately to avoid competition between the two devices.

Apple are expected to unveil the iPhone 6 at a media event on September 9th, with a release date in either late September or early October.

The iPhone 6 will feature a new super-fast WiFi chip and an improved Touch ID fingerprint sensor, according to reports.

It will also feature Apple's next generation A8 processor, which should give the smartphone a huge performance boost, according to tech website Venture Beat.

But it's looking less and less likely that the near-indestructible sapphire crystal display, heavily rumoured in the run up to the phone's release, will appear on device - at least to begin with.

It's now expected the phone will launch with a screen that's stronger than the Gorilla glass used by the current range of iPhones, but softer than sapphire, which is used to cover the Touch ID sensor.

Apple's new device is also expected to have a vastly improved camera, with a 13-megapixel sensor provided by Sony .
