According to the Wall Street Journal, Apple are in the process of developing a pair of new iPhones with larger displays. The report suggests that the new iPhones (possibly named the iPhone 6 and iPhone 6Z) will feature a 4.5-inch display and one over 5-inches.
Both devices will be made out of metal, but will not featured a curved display as many rumours have pointed to. It is said that the smaller of the two devices is nearing mass production stage whilst the larger iPhone is still in preliminary development, so it's unlikely we'd see both released at the same time.
Despite introducing a plastic design with the iPhone 5C earlier last year, Apple is said to be doing away with the plastic all together and instead favouring a metal design for both iPhones. It seems odd that Apple would do away with a design so quickly after introducing it, but it may be down to lacking sales that they have chosen to prefer the more premium material.
It appears that Apple is finally looking to take on the larger sized Android devices that have found so much success in the market. Apple fans have longed for a bigger display that what the current iPhone 5, iPhone 5s, and iPhone 5C offer, and perhaps the iPhone 6 is exactly what they're looking for.
