Apple iOS Rumors
Reportedly, Apple is preparing to launch an iPhone 17 Ultra this year. But we’ve heard that one before, at least a couple of times. There were rumors right before the iPhone 15 and the iPhone 16 series releases claiming that the Ultra would either replace the Pro Max or sit above it. Now, the very same rumor is back.According to a report on the Naver blog, the upcoming iPhone 17 Ultra will replace the Pro Max. The claim stems from supply chain market analysis, suggesting that Apple is preparing to launch a phone with new hardware features. For instance, the Ultra will likely adopt a smaller Dynamic Island, and given the amount of orders, it’s not enough to cover both the Pro and Ultra.The report also suggests that the Ultra will be the only one to adopt a vapor chamber cooling system, and it will feature a larger battery than last year’s Pro Max. As a result, it will be thicker too.It may sound like a stretch to some, but keep in mind that Apple has been using the Ultra designation for some of its products, like the Apple Watch Ultra or the M3 Ultra chip. Additionally, offering an iPhone Ultra with a substantial hardware upgrade gives Apple leeway to hike the phone’s price and potentially increase profit margins too.Still, it’s a bit early to tell if the report is correct, but we will monitor the story as it progresses.Sourcewith the way apple pricing 16e, this is preemptive strategy by them to increase the price by the rebranding pro max to ultra. apple increasing the price for preemptive trade wars againts CN. I feel like they are going to put a M chip inside of itUltra could be just new name in place of Pro Max, not a new model.
