There's nothing worse than not really knowing how much money you have left or how long it will last because you're never really sure how much voice calls or text messages will cost.

Of all the iPhone 6-related leaks we've had over the past few months, the rear shell has been a recurring one, presenting us with a fairly solid idea of what to expect from the upcoming handset's form factor. Until the manufacturing process apparently began just a short while ago, we were only really seeing mockups and case molds, but in recent times, we've had first-hand glimpses at what is claimed to be the iPhone 6's actual back cover.

We're still waiting for the official introduction of the iPhone 6, but a new report is suggesting that Apple's supply chain partners are also in the process of readying themselves internally for production of the company's next-generation iPads. If the sources in the report are to be trusted, then it would seem that the initial stages of production on the new iPad Air 2 are underway, with the latest in the 9.7-inch iPad range slated to land on the shelves of digital and brick and mortar Apple outlets towards the end of the third-quarter.
