Apple has been slower than other manufacturers to release a smartphone with a display of five inches or greater, it looks like the company has finally decided to stop ignoring the ever-growing “phablet” trend. In addition to reporting about the new iPhone 6, the Journal reports that Apple has decided to scrap the colorful plastic casing that it introduced with the iPhone 5c. Instead, the Journal says that both new iPhones released this fall will have the aluminum casing used by the iPhone 5s.
