A new report says that when the iPhone 15 series comes out next year, Apple might change the way it names its phones. Mark Gurman of Bloomberg says that the “Ultra” version of the iPhone 15 could replace the “Pro Max” models, and that the iPhone 15 could have a USB Type C port instead of a lightning port.
Even though the iPhone 14 line just came out less than a month ago, there are already rumors about the iPhone 15 line. Ross Young, a supply chain analyst, had also said before that the new Dynamic Island, which is currently only on the iPhone 14 Pro and Pro Max models, could be on all models of the iPhone 15, even the standard model.
It is said that the iPhone 15 will have a USB Type C port instead of Apple’s lightning port. Gurman says that Apple has started testing USB Type C already. It happens before the EU law that says all phones must have a USB Type C port by 2024 goes into effect.
A press release from the European Parliament says that by 2024, all phones, tablets, and cameras in the EU will use USB Type-C to charge. It also says that this move will make things easier for consumers and help keep e-waste in check.
With the release of the iPhone 14, Apple brought back a “Plus” version of the iPhone. This is the iPhone 14 Plus. But a “Ultra” version of the iPhone 15 is not at all surprising. Apple just released the Watch Ultra at its “Far Out” event and added the word “Ultra” to its M1 Ultra processor, so it’s not like this is something out of the ordinary.
Apple is expected to release new Macs, including the M2 and M2 Pro Mac Minis, the 14-inch and 16-inch M2 Pro and M2 Max MacBook Pros, and the 11-inch and 12.9-inch M2 iPad Pros. Gurman also says that Apple might not hold a keynote event next month, but instead announce new products through press releases, website updates, and media briefings.
