Another whisper has indicated that expecting the two version of the iPhone 6 to come out simultaneously is just wishful thinking.

Anonymous sources "in the iPhone supply chain" told DigiTimes the 5.5-inch iPhone 6 will be released "several months after" its smaller counterpart. The new report aligns with a previous one from Ming-Chi Kuo, a KGI Securities analyst with a good track record in picking up Apple rumors.

Kuo told MacRumors "production issues" would keep the larger handset off the shelves possibly until 2015. DigiTimes' sources said Apple felt like it made a mistake last year releasing to versions of the iPhone at the same time.

To avoid competition, Apple will hold on to the 5.5-inch iPhone 6, possibly until early 2015, while releasing the 4.7-inch handset in mid-Sept., most likely. A possible advantage to this strategy could be to strike up a second iPhone 6 fervor with the release of a newer, bigger model after the rush for the smaller one subsides.

Analysts, insiders and experts have long agreed that Apple will be releasing two different iPhone 6 models, but the release date has been up in the air. Typically, Apple unveils its new iPhone in the fall and the past three have come in mid-Sept. However, Kuo was not the first to report Apple's troubles in developing the 5.5-inch "phablet" iPhone.

The report that Apple wants to "avoid competition" between two different models of the same phone could also be a front, suggested Ben Lovejoy, of 9to5Mac. He argued that Apple did not make a mistake releasing the iPhone 5S and 5C simultaneously, but rather underestimated how many customers would choose to buy the more expensive handset.

He also argued that people who want a 5.5-inch iPhone 6 will just wait for that one to be released, meaning the "competition" does not exist. Lovejoy pointed out that supply companies are never informed on why the company wants something done, only that they want something done. Then there is Apple, arguably the most tight-lipped company in the tech universe.

This makes it seem possible that Apple wants to delay the larger iPhone 6's release to finish ironing out its wrinkles.
