Anonymous, 16 Mar 2025The name is the same but I do not think that Apple will us... moreThe "e" in 16e was already used in the Samsung Galaxy S10e.

    Now I can see why Sony has moved on from naming their Xperias to a camera-style, numerical hierarchy names since 2019 Xperia, with the exception of Xperia 10 III Lite). These things happened to other brands like no tomorrow, and yet Sony got the one with the most bashed with their names, despite being the most sensible one when you look how absurd the name of smartphones these days can be (Pro Lite? Ultra that is not Ultra? Premium that is lesser than the Pro? etc. Absurd...)

      I don't like Apple and iPhones, but if this Ultra will have two 48mp telephotos with 3D sensor-shift OIS - i will think about getting one! 😳

          Just saw photo of 3D model iphone 17 Air .
          By far ugliest iphone ever.
          Cam bump is too thick for its body. Way too bizarre.

            With tariffs between EU and USA let's see who is gonna buy this thing in the future. Chinese people already are changing on chines models. LATAM are angry with gringos...I see a dark future for Apple

              Anonymous, 16 Mar 2025I feel like they are going to put a M chip inside of itThat's their objective, unify all processors and operaring systems on singles ones, for all devices. The iOS 19 revamp could be possibly moving a step ahead on this.

                with the way apple pricing 16e, this is preemptive strategy by them to increase the price by the rebranding pro max to ultra. apple increasing the price for preemptive trade wars againts CN.

                    Ultra could be just new name in place of Pro Max, not a new model.

                      iPhone 17 , 16 Mar 2025My price predictions for the iPhone 17 series iPhone 17... moreSounds about right based on rumours so far. Apparently there may be a 17e as well though…

                        Name was probably suggested by Appla Intelligence

                          Lister, 16 Mar 2025So an iPhone 17, iPhone Air replacing the plus, a Pro and a... moreI even think the same. The base and Air models are easy to understand, but it begs me to question how Apple will differentiate the Pro and Ultra, especially when the Pro always have the smaller display. Before we knew it, Apple would launch the Ultra Max as a larger screen version of the Ultra.
