According to a new report by MacRumors, an ‘iPhone Ultra’ is coming, but it’s not what you think. We’re not talking about a different name for the iPhone 15 Pro Max here, not at all.
An ‘iPhone Ultra’ may be coming, but it’s not what you think
Based on this report, the upcoming ‘iPhone Ultra’ device will be able to capture spatial photos and videos to be displayed in Apple’s Vision Pro headset. MacRumors got this info from “a Weibo account with a proven track record for disclosing accurate information about Apple’s plans”.
This phone will allegedly be released after the Vision Pro headset, though. It is said that this phone will “lead the market to rethink what kind of photos and videos a mobile phone should take”.
Apple said that spatial photos and videos are designed to have “incredible depth”, and allow users to “see into a moment”. We wouldn’t put it past Apple to try and pull something like this off.
In order for the phone to shoot spatial images & videos, it would require new camera hardware
That would require Apple to add more camera hardware on the phone, in addition to the main, ultrawide, telephoto cameras, and the LiDAR scanner. Capturing such photos and videos would definitely require new camera hardware too.
Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman did note that Apple could release an ‘iPhone Ultra’ model next year. That phone that would sit above the ‘Pro Max’ device. Will that phone be able to shoot spatial images and videos for the Vision Pro? Well, it’s possible.
On the other hand, this could be just an even more powerful handset and not related to the Vision Pro. We’ll have to wait and see, it’s too early to tell at this point, and we’ve seen quite a few conflicting rumors already.
It seems like Apple won’t be changing the ‘Pro Max’ name this year, though. The name of the flagship model will be the iPhone 15 Pro Max, not the iPhone 15 Ultra. The ‘Ultra’ name was rumored to replace the ‘Pro Max’ naming.
