Differ: Apple are trying to separate the two sizes

The phablet version of the iPhone 6 may contain 128GB of internal storage.

According to the Chinese website Wei Feng, the 5.5inch model may be kitted out with more memory than any iPhone before it.

Apple fans have been eagerly awaiting for such a storage increase ever since the iPad 4 was released with 128GB in 2013.

If the plans go through, it will have the largest memory ever seen on an iPhone.

Those opting to buy the standard 4.7inch version will still find an increase but not on the same level.

Instead, customers will have the choice between a 32GB or 64GB model.

It is rumoured that Apple is trying to differentiate between the two forthcoming handsets by making the 5.5inch model a 'premium' version of their flagship phone.

Not only will it be larger in stature and contain much more storage, but it may also be built with Sapphire Glass which would make it resistant to scratches.

The tech giant is yet to release an official launch date for the phones, but it is heavily rumored to be taking place on September 19.

Several high resolution images recently gave the public the clearest view of the handset after being posted by an eBay user.

However recent reports have suggested that the final design which will hit the shelves will differ from any of the designs that have been seen online so far.

Much of the speculation surrounding the iPhone 6's release is concerned with whether Apple will be releasing two versions of the handset.

A recent picture by Dickson measured a 5.5inch dummy model with a ruler before posting the evidence for all the world to see.

Dickson had previously tweeted a full shot of the iPhone 6 next to the Samsung Galaxy S5 for a size comparisson.
