Rumors about an iPhone 17 Ultra are starting to surface. Will it really be called that or will this iPhone get a different name? This is what the rumors say.
Is there an iPhone 17 Ultra (or a Slim or Air?) coming?
We still have to wait until 2025 for the iPhone 17 to be released, but the rumor mill is already in full swing. According to previous reports, Apple is planning to release an iPhone 17 Ultra. But now there are reports that Apple will come with an iPhone Air or iPhone Slim. What’s going on?
The iPhone 17 series will not include an iPhone 17 Plus. Instead, there will be a new, fourth iPhone. This fourth iPhone 17 will join the iPhone 17, iPhone 17 Pro and iPhone 17 Pro Max.
Earlier rumors suggest that this fourth iPhone 17 will be the Ultra. According to these reports, this iPhone will get a new look, which is also really different from the rest of the iPhone 17 devices.
Furthermore, it is expected that it will get an ultra-thin design, comparable to the thin iPad Pro with M4. There will be a new camera in the device and the price will go up. The iPhone 17 Ultra is expected to be just as big a leap forward as the iPhone X was back then.
However, other rumors say that this iPhone will squeeze itself between the iPhone 17 and the iPhone 17 Pro (Max). The expectations are that this iPhone will get an A19 chip, but that the iPhone 17 Pro (Max) will have a better A19 Pro under the hood. In addition, the iPhone 17 Pro and iPhone 17 Pro Max will get 12 GB of RAM, while the iPhone 17 Ultra ‘only’ has 8 GB.
This iPhone will not get the very best hardware and that is why the name iPhone 17 Ultra does not really suit this device. This is also the reason why more and more rumors say that this device can also be called iPhone Air or iPhone Slim. What it will ultimately be is of course still a matter of guesswork, but it is good to see that it seems that Apple is going to make a major adjustment again.
