Release date, what’s new, USB-C, here’s everything you need to know about the future iPhone 15 Ultra
The apple giant is getting ready to unveil its new iPhone range in September 2023, as it does every year. Apple wants to bring a veritable wave of freshness to its range this year. In fact, we’re hearing about an Ultra version of the future iPhone 15 that will also feature a USB Type-C port! let’s see everything
An iPhone 15 Ultra that will replace the iPhone 15 Pro Max?
Apple has repeatedly made changes to its offering, most notably in 2022, replacing its “mini” version with the iPhone 14 Plus. This year will arguably be about the iPhone 15 Pro Max disappearing in favor of an Ultra version, presumably inspired by Samsung’s S range.
Famed analyst Ming-Chi Kua, known for his predictions on Apple products, hints that the next iPhone 15 Pro will be called the iPhone 15 Ultra. This allows Apple to emphasize the high-end aspect of the model compared to its little brothers, namely the iPhone 15, iPhone 15 Plus and iPhone 15 Pro. Remember that this name has already been applied to the Apple Watch Ultra. It would undoubtedly be accompanied by a hardware upgrade that will widen the gap between the Pro model and the Ultra model, unlike the iPhones 15 and 15 Plus, which will be materially identical except for the diagonal of the screen.
The iPhones planned for 2023 will therefore be:
- iPhone 15th (6.1 inch);
- iPhone 15plus. (6.7 inches);
- iPhone 15 pro. (6.1 inch and better specs);
- iPhone 15 Ultra. (6.7 inches and better specs).
An iPhone with a USB-C connection, yes, you can!
For ecological reasons, the EU prescribes universal connectors in order to reduce as much as possible the replacement of accessories and in this specific case of cables. The Apple brand must therefore comply with this decision, at least for the European market. The first device to adopt this connection will therefore be the iPhone 15, despite Apple’s dissatisfaction.
However, Apple aims to break the standard of wired charging by offering a 100% wireless iPhone thanks to inductive charging and Apple’s MagSafe technology.
The end of the notch of the entire series 2023
Apple’s iconic notch first appeared on the iPhone X in 2017. This design had a huge impact on the mobile phone market. However, over the years, at a time when all manufacturers are trying to make screens that cover the entire front of smartphones, the notch has become obsolete.
Apple eventually gave way to the notch for Dynamic Island, which was seen as more useful and aesthetically pleasing. This design first appeared on the iPhone 14 Pro. A black band that’s less bulky than the notch, but capable of holding all the sensors needed for FACE ID.
Also, it is possible to interact with this little bubble. Currently only a few apps are compatible, but in the future developers will certainly have to deal with it, especially if it is included in the entire iPhone 15 range, so it will not be the turn of apps.
