With the introduction of the Apple iPhone 15 series in 2023, it is rumoured that Apple would discontinue the 6.1-inch basic iPhone model. According to a rumour from Gizmochina, Apple will probably introduce a 'Ultra' iPhone model with a few unique features next year.

According to the rumour, the tech giant may stop producing the most cheap vanilla model once the new top-of-the-line model is available. The rumour generated an immediate outcry among tech enthusiasts, who turned to Twitter to express their displeasure with the iPhone 15 Ultra variant, which is anticipated to cost more than the Pro Max model.

The iPhone Pro Max versions, according to some, are already excessively big. Some individuals enjoy the fact that the brand's basic model is now the only genuine tiny flagship phone available. According to the report, there's a chance that Apple will introduce the iPhone 15 Ultra with some exclusive Ultra features. This has caused some customers' concerns because they don't want to see another Pro Max model on the market, despite rumours that the Ultra will replace the Pro Max series' top models.
