Apple's larger next-gen iPhones reportedly said to go into production next month

According to Bloomberg, Apple's suppliers will begin mass producing the next-generation iPhone 6 — which will allegedly be available in a 4.7-inch and a 5.5-inch variant — in the month of July, with an estimated shipping date set for September.

Citing anonymous sources in the know, the Bloomberg report mentioned that the new iPhone models will be thinner and rounder when compared to last-gen versions. The larger 5.5-inch model is said to be more complicated to mass produce, which means that the initial production volumes will be low.

Also mentioned is the presence of a curved glass screen, which allows manufacturers to "taper the edges of the screen where the bezel meets the frame of a smartphone." While there is no official confirmation of the same, the story does highlight the rumors of late referencing a larger form factor for the next iPhone.
