The reason is said to be the notorious sapphire screen, which is believed to replace the previously fragile glass screen, reports the Wall Street Journal.

More durable – and expensive

And should you believe the images that emerged online and claimed to represent the new iPhone 6, it is perhaps worth the extra coin.

to start mass producing the new iPhone

According to the Wall Street Journal’s report considers Apple to use the new screen to the two upcoming iPhone models, provided they can produce enough screens. Sure, it sounds simple, but given that Apple usually sells about 50 million iPhones in its first quarter, which Mashable writes, so has the technology giant a lot to do.

Mass production of the new model is said to start this month. None of this is not yet officially confirmed by Apple, which is expected to launch the new iPhone products in September.
