The iPhone 15 Ultra made headlines again. As with the previous three iPhone series, Apple is expected to release four new iPhone 15 models this year: iPhone 15, iPhone 15 Plus, iPhone 15 Pro and iPhone 15 Pro Max.
However, conflicting reports suggest that the iPhone 15 Ultra could replace the iPhone 15 Pro Max. In addition, the leak hints at the possible addition of the iPhone 15 Ultra, which could be the fifth smartphone in the lineup.
Ahead of the official announcement, the full specs of the iPhone 15 Ultra were leaked. According to Apple Leaker on X, the iPhone 15 could have a much improved camera system, especially in the zoom range.
The phone may support periscope zoom up to 10x. A 48-megapixel main camera can also have eight lens elements. All items can use glass materials to improve the focus light on the camera sensor.
In addition, the frame is made of titanium for a more luxurious feel and durability. Several leaks suggest that the iPhone 15 Pro and Pro Max models will do the same. Also, Apple could change the design of the volume buttons.
The iPhone 15 Ultra may also have an “Action” button on the side to quickly launch apps, including the camera app. A similar action button was introduced on the Apple Watch Ultra last year.
The iPhone 15 Ultra is internally powered by the latest 3 nm A17 Bionic SoC. The RAM equipment can also be increased up to 8 GB. Additionally, the leak suggests that the base model will offer a total of 256GB of storage.
All new iPhone 15 models are expected to have a USB-C port for charging instead of their Lightning connector. If the iPhone 15 Ultra is also in development, it will have the same charging connector.
The battery may support 35W charging, but a charger is not included. Apple is rumored to be launching a braided USB-C charging cable with Thunderbolt 4 capability.
The charging cable claims to support 240W charging power. This post also suggests a 10-15% increase in battery capacity.
The screen size can be up to 6.7 inches. However, we may also see lower margins this year. Apple may continue to add dynamic island cutouts with some tweaks.
It also features a 7nm U2 chip for better compatibility with Apple products, including the Vision Pro mixed reality headset.
New features and hardware additions could increase the price of the iPhone 15 Ultra. According to the leaked information, the price could go as high as $200. (about 16,500 rupees). The price of the iPhone 14 Pro Max in India starts at 133,900 rupees.
