iPhone 15 Ultra could be released as early as next year

According to online sources, next year Apple will widen the gap between the base and flagship versions of the iPhone, and the most productive model will be called the iPhone 15 Ultra. This opinion is shared by Bloomberg journalist Mark Gurman, who also believes that USB Type-C will finally replace the Lightning interface on the iPhone 15 Ultra.

Over the years of Apple smartphones, changes to the device naming policy were made infrequently. In the early days of the iPhone, when significant changes and new features were added every two years, mid-range models were designated "S". For example, following the new iPhone 5, the iPhone 5S was released a year later, and then the iPhone 6 and iPhone 6S a year later.

In 2019, Apple diversified its line of smartphones and, since then, basic and premium versions of devices have been launched on the market, the latter are called “Pro” and “Pro Max”. This year, a larger version of the entry-level iPhone has been given the name "Plus", which has not been used by the company since 2017. Changing the name "Pro Max" to "Ultra" makes more sense as Apple now has the Apple Watch Ultra smartwatch. on your line.

Previously, Apple was rumored to be testing an iPhone with a USB Type-C interface and plans to release it before a law takes effect in the European Union forcing smartphone manufacturers to equip their devices with this connector from 2024.

Also, according to Mark Gurman, Apple may decline to hold the second fall event dedicated to introducing new products this year. Despite that, he expects Apple to introduce new Mac mini, MacBook Pro and iPad Pro models before the end of the year, but will do so by issuing press releases as this year's models won't see any major improvements.
