Like the iPhone 14 Pro Max? You will absolutely love the iPhone 15 Ultra

It's been a little over 3 months since the iPhone 14 series was launched but rumours and leaks have already started popping up about Apple’s next flagship series. Although the iPhone 14 Pro and iPhone 14 Pro Max were praised for implementing new features such as the Dynamic Island, the iPhone 14 was criticized for not having much improvement over last year’s models, keeping the same processor as well. It seems like Apple has been listening and the Cupertino-based giant is set to go all out with next year’s iPhone 15 “Ultra”. So, if you’ve been looking to buy the iPhone 14 Pro or iPhone 14 Pro Max, it's best you wait until next year for the iPhone 15 Ultra.

Earlier, it was revealed that Apple will change its naming strategy and introduce its highest-priced flagship as iPhone 15 Ultra to go with its new Apple Watch Ultra. If recent reports are anything to go by, Apple could increase the price of its flagship model by as much as $200. According to LeaksApplePro tweet, "iPhone 15 Ultra will cost substantially more to manufacture than iPhone 14 Pro Max."

According to a report by Forbes, "LeaksApplePro states that the iPhone 15 Ultra will have a starting price as high as $1299 — a $200 increase on the iPhone 14 Pro Max, and the biggest single generational jump in iPhone history."

The iPhone 15 Ultra is expected to come with a starting price tag of $1299 and can potentially rise as high as $1799 for the 1TB model. Also, according to LeaksApplePro, the iPhone 15 Ultra will get a minimum of 256GB, which is double the current 128GB entry point.

iPhone 15 Ultra rumoured specifications

LeaksApplePro reported that Apple is already working on 8K recording and it could debut with next year's iPhone 15 series. Recent renders by AppleInsider have also revealed the look of the iPhone 15 Ultra. These renders show curved edges, dual-front cameras, and USB-C port.

Other rumours also indicate that Apple is working on extending the battery life of the next iPhone series by 3-4 hours. Just like this year's iPhone models, the iPhone 15 and iPhone 15 Plus could be powered by the A16 Bionic while the iPhone 15 Pro and iPhone 15 Ultra could feature the new chip- the A17 Bionic. LeaksApplePro also reported that unlike this year where only the Pro models received the Dynamic Island notch, all iPhone models are expected to carry forward Apple's new notch next year.
