The iPhone 15 Pro Max may not even exist, Apple is preparing a name change for next year.
The iPhone 14 Pro Max could be the last model with this popular family name that has been with us for three generations. As Mark Gurman reported, next year Apple’s best iPhone, It will be called iPhone 15 Ultra. A very interesting and striking change of strategy.
As stated in his last To light upGurman reveals that in the iPhone 15 generation, Apple is planning a refreshed design with USB-C and a possible name change. the apple could replace its “Pro Max” brand, which it started using with the iPhone 11, with “Ultra”according to the journalist.
Based on Apple’s current model, we can expect a refreshed iPhone design next year, coinciding with the switch to USB-C and the possibility of a new Ultra model replacing the Pro Max.
We could have an iPhone 15 Ultra next year
The iPhone 15 could arrive with many new features, including a name change
We recently saw how Apple used the Ultra family name, instead of Pro, in the Apple Watch lineup. Despite the rumours, the new extreme model was called Apple Watch Ultra and not Apple Watch Prowhich could be a clue to Apple’s future strategy.
In other words, next year the iPhone 15 could be called as follows:
- iPhone 15.
- iPhone 15 Plus.
- iPhone 15 Pro.
- iPhone 15 Ultra.

It remains to be seen whether this change in nomenclature also means a change in services. Currently the The Pro and Pro Max models are exactly the same, with the same internal specifications, the same processor and the same cameras. However, a name change could also indicate a difference in terms of these types of specs.
In other words, the iPhone 15 Ultra would be the best Apple model, and the most expensive. More and more users are opting for this model simply to have the best.
Gurman also talks about something important: the arrival of USB-C on the iPhone for the first time. Again, we don’t know if we are facing something exclusive to the new iPhone 15 Ultra or if it would not reach the entire iPhone range. Something that would be more normal and the final abandonment of Lightning.
It is rumored that the entry iPad, the only one with a Lightning connection, could switch to USB-C this year. It’s also been rumored that AirPods will switch to this connection next year. It is therefore to be expected that all iPhone 15s will also implement USB-C, and it is something that has proven to be very necessary.
