The Apple iPhone 6 release won't be slowed down by supply issues as the tech giant reportedly secured enough stocks to supply the public with 50 million new units by the end of December.

According to reports, Apple has already finalized its fourth quarter 2014 iPhone 6 orders from Pegatron and Foxconn. This indicates that is doing its best to stabilize the supply of the iPhone 6.

Apple previously admitted the iPhone 6 supply may not reach an ideal level in the next couple of months because of heavy demand around the world. The initial iPhone 6 sales figures showed it attracted over 10 million buyers in the U.S. alone. The numbers doubled as the company began taking pre-orders from China.

Prior to the iPhone 6 release date, analysts forecast a minimum of 60 million iPhone 6 units will be purchased before 2014 ends. Sales prediction could go as high as 80 million but it remains uncertain unless Apple will be able to produce that amount.

Apple CEO Tim Cook conceded that a supply and demand balance may not be reached until 2015 but assured iPhone 6 production is already ramped-up.

The iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus are said to be responsible for over 10 percent of all economic growth in the United States.

The GDP growth in 2014 seems to be similar to that of 2013, which is 1.9 percent. It could be higher and reports claim that 10 to 15 percent of it comes from the iPhone 6.

Since Sept. 19, the iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus have been on sale with customers buying the phones faster than Apple can deliver. The ripple effects are being felt throughout the U.S. economy.
