China Mobile, the world's largest mobile service provider, reportedly is taking pre-orders for the two versions of the iPhone 6, which will be released by Apple on Sept. 9.

The pre-order page, first seen by Sina Tech, lists the rumored phones on China Mobile's website. An iPhone site in Canada, however, points out that while China Mobile's page features an Apple logo with a "6" written on it, the site didn't mention the term "iPhone 6."

Details on the pre-order page offer two models for reservation; one with a 5.5-inch display and the other with a 4.7 inch display.

The dimensions listed are similar to the two sizes the new iPhones are rumored to have.

As of the moment, pre-orders on the China Mobile site have already reached 8,000.

China Mobile and Apple announced last year they've reached an agreement to offer the iPhone to China Mobile subscribers, making the smartphone readily available to interested consumers.

On Wednesday, a couple of pictures of the iPhone 6 with the 4.7-inch screen was leaked. The photos show the phone's screen and the lock screen of the iOS 8, the eighth major version of Apple's iOS mobile operating system.

Both models of the iPhone 6 will have the Touch ID fingerprint sensor; Near Field Communication connectivity; the new Apple A8 System on a Chip and an iPod Touch-inspired design.

The new models will have larger storage options, with up to 128 gigabytes of internal memory; higher resolution displays.

They'll also be cheaper than previous iPhones.
