Apple Inc has scheduled a “big” media event related to the iPhone for September 9, technology news website Re\/code said<\/a>, without citing sources.<\/p>\n

Apple usually launches the newest version of its iPhone in September.<\/p>\n

The company did not immediately return emails seeking comment.<\/p>\n

Analysts and media reports have said Apple may launch two iPhone models with 4.7 and 5.5 inch screens this year to compete with Samsung Electronics Co Ltd’s popular Galaxy Note 3 phablets, which have a 5.7 inch display.<\/p>\n

Apple’s current iPhone models, the 5S and 5C, have a 4 inch display panel.<\/p>\n

The company has asked suppliers to manufacture 70-80 million units of the new large-screen iPhones by the end of the year, the Wall Street Journal reported in July.<\/p>\n

Apple’s shares were down 0.8 percent at $94.81 in late afternoon trading on Tuesday.<\/p>\n
