This is twice the order Apple put for the next-gen iPhone 6

Taiwanese website Business Weekly is suggesting some good numbers for Apple's next order of iPhone. According to their sources, the Cupertino-based tech giant just places an order for 68 million units. 

 
Same report says that the customers will have the option of choosing either a 5.5-inch display or a smaller 4.7-inch one. The production will start this month and Apple will work with their usual manufacturing partners in China – Foxconn and Pegatron. 
 
If these numbers are anything close to reality, the iPhone 6 will be the most successful device sold in recent history. And if you only count the big touch screen devices, Apple will take the lead in that business. 
 
According to the same report, the Taiwanese Topology Research Institute has predicted that the iPhone 6 will sell around 80 million units in 2014 alone. 90 percent of that number should be taken by the 4.7 inch model and the rest will be the 5.5" iPhone. 
 
On another note, new iPhone parts come out of the Chinese plants every day. After we've seen the curved edge display and the back casing of the iPhone 6, the time has come to get our eyes on another Apple piece of technology: the LCD assembly and the home button of the future iPhone.
 
Soon enough we will be able to put together our own working iPhone 6 just by using the parts.
