Gurman: next year, Apple iPhone 15 "Ultra" will replace "Pro Max" with USB-C port design.

CTOnews.com, September 25 (Xinhua)-- Bloomberg reporter Mark Gurman said today that Apple is preparing to replace its "Pro Max" model with a new iPhone 15 "Ultra" model next year.

Gurman wrote in the latest Power On newsletter that for the iPhone 15 series, Apple is planning to bring USB-C design improvements and possibly change the name. According to Gurman, Apple is expected to replace the "Pro Max" brand that has been used since the iPhone 11 series with "Ultra".

"according to Apple's current model, we can expect that the design of the iPhone will be improved next year, moving to the USB-C port, and the new Ultra model is expected to replace the Pro Max."

Apple is expected to use the "Ultra" brand on the most high-end iPhone. What is most noteworthy is that by far the strongest, most durable and most powerful Apple Watch has been named Apple Watch Ultra, while the most powerful Apple Silicon chip so far is M1 Ultra.

With the iPhone 15 still a year away, details are still scarce, but Apple is widely expected to switch to the USB-C port on the iPhone next year. In addition, CTOnews.com has learned that there are rumors that the smart island "pill + punch" screen introduced by iPhone 14 Pro will infiltrate all four models of the iPhone 15 series.

"it is reported that Apple's iPhone 15 Ultra uses dual front cameras and USB-C ports, and 256GB storage starts."
