Apple begins sending out test units of the new iPhone

Commemorating the thirty eighth year of its founding, Apple begins sending out the next iPhone, dubbed by news media and Apple watchers as “iPhone 6”, to select individuals outside the company.

This would be the first time in the recent history that Apple sent out unreleased/in-development product to people outside Apple. According to firstname@apple.com, these individuals are trusted by Apple and will not leak details of the new iPhone. Instead the leak is likely coming from iPhone assembly facility.
