According to a July 13th article on
AppAdvice.com, production problems might delay the launch date of the 5.5" model of the iPhone 6 until 2015:
"This is according to Ming-Chi Kuo, a well-regarded Apple analyst at KGI Securities.
In a new research note to investors, Kuo says that issues with the in-cell touch panel and metal casing could affect both the handset’s 4.7-inch and 5.5-inch models, with the problems considered to be more easily remedied in the smaller version.
For the larger version, there’s also the matter of its sapphire-coated display not proving strong enough to pass drop tests. This, along with the other pressing issues, could lead to the larger device’s not being released by the end of the year. But if it does get launched this year, Kuo predicts it will hit the market in the middle of the last quarter in limited quantities."
