Apple would work on a new version of its smartphone for 2024, a model that would take the name of iPhone 16 Ultra.
The information filtering from the Apple brand has suggested for some time that an Ultra version would be on the way. But contrary to what one might think, it would not be for this year.
The Ultra version, more than a renaming?
So what will the Ultra version of the iPhone look like? This is a question that has been asked a lot in recent months, with several leads launched by insiders. The main tended towards the creation of an iPhone 15 Ultra, a rumor confirmed by one of the most reliable journalistic sources on the Cupertino company, Mark Gurman.
However, it is the same person who is now proposing a new hypothesis, with the Ultra version finally scheduled for 2024 and the iPhone 16 line. This time, Apple would not be satisfied with a rebranding operation and would ensure, like its Apple Watch Ultra, to reserve very high-end options for this model.
Towards totally wireless charging?
For the moment, Mark Gurman has not been able to detail the characteristics of what would surely be an iPhone monster, even more upscale than the Pro versions. Confining themselves to the field of hypotheses, they believe that the iPhone 16 Ultra ” will likely offer further camera improvements, a faster chip and possibly an even bigger screen “.
Above all, the iPhone 16 Ultra could finally abandon the charging port to switch to full wireless charging. At this time, none of these specs are confirmed. Apple will have to offer particularly interesting features for a device that should be even more expensive than the iPhone 14 Pro Max. The most powerful Apple terminal currently is now on sale in France at a price of 1,479 euros.
