It will be pro, it will be max, it will be ultra, but it won’t be ultra

• Apple will not release the iPhone Ultra this year
• The iPhone 16 Ultra could see the light next year
• iPhone 15 Pro and 15 Pro Max could be lighter than ever

We are slowly but surely approaching the September 12th keynote. On that day, Apple is expected to hold an event during which we shall learn more about a brand new batch of iPhones. Without risking too much, we can already believe that the iPhone 15 will replace the iPhone 14 released in 2022. Except that, if the 15, 15 Plus, and 15 Pro models don’t cause any controversy on the subject of their name, as for the 15 Pro Max model, it’s more complicated. . Mark Gorman came only a few hours ago to clarify the situation Another essential information for those who value lightness.

iPhone 15: Ultra, not at this time

According to a Bloomberg analystApple is only expected this year Do not take out the iPhone 15 Ultra. The man had heard that the Pro Max was confirmed as the most expensive new model. Thus, the range will be last year’s model, with 4 variations: 15, 15 Plus, 15 Pro and 15 Pro Max. The “Ultra” iPhone rumor surfaced a few weeks ago, supported by Mark Gurman among others. Then, according to the specialist, Apple made use of the Latin qualifier for the device at the top of the iPhone range.

According to the source, Apple will not abandon this idea. iPhone 16 Ultra could be released next year.

iPhone 15 Pro: Featherweight category

Mark Gurman not only amended the point about the name, but also provided details about another important characteristic of any smartphone: weight. iPhone 15 Pro and 15 Pro Max are guaranteed It will weigh 10% less than the iPhone 14 and 14 Pro Max, respectively. Here are the resulting numbers:

• iPhone 15 Pro: 185g (21g less than the 14 Pro Max)
• iPhone 15 Pro Max: 216g (34g less than the 14 Pro Max)

So Apple was going to put iPhones on a diet this year. Compared to the 14 Pro, the 15 Pro will lose the weight of its soul, which is equivalent to about 4 sugar cubes or 3 coins worth 1 euro. For 15 Pro Max, count on about 5 to 6 less sugar cubes or 4 to 5 €1 coins.

This may not sound like much to some of you, but you should know that if Mark Gurman was here, it would be the iPhone 15 Pro and 15 Pro Max. The lightest “Pro” iPhones in Apple’s history.

However, let’s hope Apple doesn’t shrink the battery components to make it lighter!

See you on Tuesday to follow up on the iPhone 15 keynote with us!
