Exciting News: The Imminent Arrival of the 'iPhone Ultra, A Vision Pro-Compatible Innovation
Apple's highly anticipated September event is just around the corner, and all eyes are on what the tech giant has in store for its devoted fans. While the new iPhone 15 lineup is undoubtedly the highlight, a recent rumor has added an intriguing twist to the mix. According to reports circulating on Weibo and picked up by MacRumors, Apple might be cooking up something truly groundbreaking—an "iPhone Ultra."
This new model is said to have a unique capability: the ability to capture spatial photos and videos, specifically designed to complement Apple's upcoming Vision Pro augmented reality headset. The Vision Pro is expected to feature a "three-dimensional camera," promising users an immersive experience when capturing photos and videos. Paired with Apple's Spatial Audio technology, this promises to transport users to cherished moments, like reliving celebrations with friends or special family gatherings.
However, there's a twist in the tale. The "iPhone Ultra" may not launch alongside the Vision Pro but is rumored to follow later. The Vision Pro, on the other hand, is anticipated to hit the market "early next year." This isn't the first time we've heard whispers of a high-end iPhone that surpasses even the iPhone Pro Max in terms of features. Back in February, Bloomberg's Mark Gurman hinted at such a device, potentially slated for a 2024 release.
For now, it appears that Apple's immediate focus is on the iPhone 15 lineup. While some speculation suggested the iPhone 15 Pro Max might become the iPhone 15 Ultra, the company is expected to differentiate it further by equipping it with a periscope lens-based telephoto camera. Additionally, there's talk that certain iPhone 15 models could eventually tap into the "three-dimensional" photo and video capabilities advertised in Vision Pro marketing materials, possibly through a future software update.
In the midst of these exciting speculations, another rumor has emerged via DigiTimes, as reported by MacRumors. It suggests that the iPhone 15 Pro and iPhone 15 Pro Max models might come with a hefty price tag, potentially surpassing the cost of their predecessors. If this proves true, we could be looking at starting prices of $1,099 for the iPhone 15 Pro and $1,199 for the iPhone 15 Pro Max.
As the Apple event draws near, the anticipation is building, and fans worldwide are eager to see what surprises the tech giant has in store. The iPhone 15 lineup is sure to bring its share of excitement, and the mysterious "iPhone Ultra" adds an extra layer of intrigue to the mix."
