What is the iPhone 6 release date?

UPDATE: Both the iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus will be available on September 19, 2014. Pre-orders will be taken starting on September 12.

Apple's next generation iOS smartphone is said to be entering mass production for a third quarter 2014 launch date. This puts the iPhone 6 on track for release between the months of July and September. For comparison, the iPhone 5s release date was September 20, 2013.

While details are still unconfirmed, some analysts expect Apple to manufacture two different iPhone 6 models. First, the company would release an iPhone 6 with a larger 4.7-inch display. Due to production delays, a second iPhone 6 with an even bigger 5.7-inch screen would follow at a later date.
