The first mention of the iPhone 15 Ultra came last week when Apple launched the iPhone 14 series. Analyst Mark Gurman said it makes sense for Apple to rebrand its top-of-the-line device from “Pro Max” to “Ultra.” He suggested that the name change would be much easier, “in line with Apple’s latest naming strategy,” as reported by the company’s M1 Pro, M1 Max, and M1 Ultra Mac chips.

Note that Apple currently divides its phones into non-Pro models and Pro iPhone models. This year’s Pro model got a face and camera design change, while the non-Pro model has seen repeated upgrades from the iPhone 13 series.
