Leak: iPhone 15 Ultra specifications surface online weeks ahead of September 12 launch
The discussion has started again regarding the iPhone 15 Ultra, which has once again made headlines. Like the previous three iPhone lineups, Apple is preparing to introduce four new models this year: iPhone 15, iPhone 15 Plus, iPhone 15 Pro, and iPhone 15 Pro Max.
However, the conflicting reports have really caused a stir, with many reports pointing to the possibility of the iPhone 15 Ultra replacing the iPhone 15 Pro Max. Adding to the intrigue, leaks have suggested a possible additional iPhone 15 Ultra, which could mark the fifth entry in this smartphone series.
Camera details:
Before the official launch of the device, which is scheduled for September 12 or 13, a comprehensive rundown of the iPhone 15 Ultra specs has been leaked.
According to information from an Apple enthusiast account, AppleLeaker Apparently, Apple has thrown a 10X periscope camera into the mix. The primary 48MP camera may also come with eight lens elements.
Details on Design
On the design front, the chassis may feature titanium for a sturdier and more premium feel. Similar design changes are expected for the iPhone 15 Pro and Pro Max variants.
Along with the possible inclusion of “action buttons” on the iPhone 15 Ultra, there could be a new change to the volume button layout on the sides. This new button could provide quick access to apps including the camera app – a feature reminiscent of the Apple Watch Ultra introduced last year.
Details on hardware
Under the hood, the iPhone 15 Ultra is rumoured to pack the latest A17 Bionic SoC using the 3nm process, potentially coupled with an 8GB RAM configuration. The leak also indicates that the base model may start offering a whopping 256GB of storage.
Interestingly, all the upcoming iPhone 15 models may ditch the proprietary Lightning port and shift to a USB-C charging port. Should the iPhone 15 Ultra come out, it will also adopt this new charging port.
The battery may support 35W charging, though the charger is not expected to be bundled in the box. A new braided USB-C charging cable is rumoured to arrive with Thunderbolt 4 capabilities, which boasts a charging output of 240W. In addition, an increase in battery capacity of around 10-15% is also indicated.
Details on display
Although the display size may remain intact at 6.7 inches, there may be a notable change this year in the form of thinner bezels. With some improvements, Apple could continue with its dynamic island notch. Adding to the mix, a fresh 7nm U2 chip could increase compatibility with Apple’s lineup, which also includes the Vision Pro mixed-reality headset.
Considering the influx of new enhancements and hardware, a hike in the price of the iPhone 15 Ultra is possible. The leak indicated a possible hike of $200 (roughly Rs. 16,500). To put things in perspective, the starting price of the iPhone 14 Pro Max in India is Rs 1,33,900. As the launch draws closer, keep an eye out for more updates.
