Apple is reportedly ordering iPhone 6 units at an unprecedented level with the company's first batch numbering at least 68 million units, according to Taiwan’s Business Weekly. The site didn't specify if the orders for the 4.7-inch or 5.5-inch model so the number could be for both combined, notes GforGames.

Business Weekly now estimates that the first iPhone 6 batch / order will be of at least 68 million units. Furthermore, the device(s) will allegedly enter mass production in July. Foxconn and Pegatron’s chairmen, Terry Gou and Tung Tsu-hsien respectively, have supposedly been notified by Apple in regards to the production plan since the second week of June.

Yesterday, video and photos of an allegedly 'real' iPhone rear shell surfaced. Check those out here. We're expecting the company to release the iPhone 6 in September.

Last year 5. Min. Into ordering at 3:00AM I was shut out and waited 4-5 weeks to get one ! Bad business practice Jobs wouldn't have under ordering..... Don't release the phone if you can't deliver for everyone.

Any company can just make a limited quantity and say its sold out, and come out with a crazy number saying sold millions, its makes a vibe saying ohh its so good its sold out I should get out too... And stupid people buy into that crap.
