Could Apple unveil a new, 6 inch iPhone today

The much awaited new series of iPhone is expected to be announced today, the 10th September, US time.  Millions of people are expected to tune into the live webcast hosted by Apple’s Chief Executive, Tim Cook, who is believed to be announcing the launch of Apple 5s and 5C.  But could he also be announcing the introduction of a new product range, perhaps an iPhone 6 with a 6 inch screen, or a Smartwatch?

Apple has apparently sent out press invitations — with the tagline “this should brighten everyone’s day” — on Tuesday to its next-generation iPhone launch event.  (See below)

Rumours are whipping round the Internet  about the possibilities of the launch, and the product pipeline that could ensue.  But most websites feel our hopes of a new product range will be disappointed this month, with another event expected next month to launch iPad device upgrades.  The primary driver behind this new product range appears to be a rumoured deal done with China Mobile to bring a low cost model of iPhone to the mass population of China.  The 5C phone is reportedly made of a plastic composite to bring the costs of manufacturing down to a retail price of approx $99 US.
