Apple Is Ordering 80M iPhone 6 Handsets For Launch

According to the Wall Street Journal, Apple is ordering up eighty million handsets for the iPhone 6 launch. I guess they are expecting to sell a few phones. It seems Apple has particularly high hopes for this year's iPhone line-up. According to the Wall Street Journal, it's ordering its largest ever order for new iPhones off the production line, numbering somewhere between 70 to 80 million units. How that figure will be divided between the rumoured 4.7-inch and 5.5-inch models remains to be seen, but it's still a significantly larger order than the 50 to 60 million iPhone 5S and iPhone 5C handsets ordered last year.
