Apple will be making a big splash at the latter part of the year as new information suggests that the company will be preparing as many as 85 to 90 million iPhones. Should Apple push for the order, the production will exceed 15 million units more than the original iPhone 6 series. Several predictions have already cropped up about the series with some noting the changes in the screen but not no so much on design. Can Apple surpass iPhone 6 and debut its most successful series ever?

The report came from The Wall Street Journal citing Apple's intent to break iPhone records with a considerable initial production. Apple has refused to comment on the matter whereas projections remain low for iPhone sales growth. For instance, expectations remain subdued at 1% sales growth for the company's 20167 fiscal year.

The Motley Fool believes that ordering such a number is just right for the company as the launch of the iPhone 6 and Samsung's recent production woes show how important meeting the demand and getting the number right can be. Samsung did admit that profits fell because it greatly underestimated S6 Edge demand. Apple may be able to curb the problem if it has more smartphone stocks.

There are two iPhone models expected to be released this year: the iPhone 6s and the iPhone 6s Plus. According to previous predictions, Apple will maintain the 4.7-inch and 5.5-inch screen sizes. Whereas designs will remain, forecasts did note Apple's switch to the tougher 7000-series aluminum. There has also been a schematic roaming online showing the iPhone 6s to be 0.2 millimeters thicker. The additional girth will be in support of the Force Touch on both devices.

Other expected features of the series include 2GB RAM and other storage options ranging from 16, 64 and 128 GB. More reports have also noted the inclusion of NFC and other cellular components. If Apple can include Qualcomm's modem then the company can double the LTE speed ceiling with minimal power consumption. Apple has not released any final announcements on the matter so everything should be taken with a grain of salt.
