According to the recent rumors, Apple is planning to hold the 5.5-inches phablet iPhone 6 launch date until the next year. Speculations coming from Taiwanese sites also suggest that September will only see one iPhone in the market. This bit seemed more realistic considering Apple couldn't take chances with two smartphones with larger screens. Seems like the Cupertino will first see how the upcoming 4.7 inches iPhone goes this year before launching the phablet.

Lately, news have also suggested that Apple is facing some problems with the production of larger iPhone model. According to the reports Taiwanese Industrial and Commercial Times is supposed to work on a report on this issue.

It should be taken in account here that Apple has rarely changed the physics of iPhone with its size increasing to only half of a inch in the lifetime of seven major year. While Android phones have seen major improvements and enhancements, especially when it comes to larger screens, iPhone size has remained same. While it makes many consumers happy, Apple would surely not miss to hit the market attached with larger screen smartphones.
