> Apple Placing Orders for Record 70-80 Million iPhone 6 Units in 2014
> Many observers are expecting the iPhone 6 to be a big seller for Apple given

> similar thoughts in mind. According to The Wall Street Journal, Apple is
> placing orders for a total of 70-80 million units through the end of the
> year, split between 4.7-inch and 5.5-inch models. That's up from a combined
> 50-60 million order for the iPhone 5s/5c launch.
>
> And of course leaks and rumors about the iPhone 6 continue to circulate,
> including rigorous scratch tests on the 4.7-inch front panel suggesting it
> may not be made of sapphire. We've also seen the completed rear shell with an
> embedded Apple logo, a battery with a slightly higher capacity than seen on
> the iPhone 5s, a claimed Touch ID fingerprint sensor, and the
> Lightning/headphone flex cable part. Apple has also been reported to be using
> a new 13-megapixel Sony camera sensor for the iPhone 6, although other
> reports have stated Apple will stick with an 8-megapixel sensor and focus its
