Reports suggest that Apple has given the order to commence mass production of the 5.5" iPhone phablet, as well as the second-generation iPad Air (2) in September. If this is true, older reports suggesting that Apple will introduce the 4.7" iPhone 6 in an event scheduled for September 19 might be true after all.

If mass production is to begin in September, Apple is most likely aiming a late October or early November launch for the 5.5" iPhone 6 and iPad Air 2.
