Analyst Matt Margolis has learned that all 5.5-inch iPhone 6 models will get sapphire cover screens but only some 4.7-inch iPhone 6 models will come with sapphire. Margolis made the claims in an investor note seen by 9to5Mac.

According to sources close to Foxconn’s manufacturing operations the iPhone 6 will come built with sapphire cover screens in both sizes. These sources have also indicated that the 4.7” Phone 6 is being assembled in two varieties, a sapphire cover screen version and a version featuring Gorilla Glass. At this point I do not know the approximate mix between the two cover screen options on the 4.7” iPhone 6. My latest check on the 5.5” iPhone 6 indicates that all units of the device are expected to come protected by a sapphire cover screen at this point …

Margolis expects both the 4.7-inch iPhone 6 and the 5.5-inch iPhone 6 to be unveiled in September; however, the larger model is said to launch in October. A new report claims that Apple will also unveil the iWatch at its September 9th event.
