i'm honestly surprised that more of these rumors haven't started to form yet, rumors about the 13 and 14 gained traction right after their predecessors released

Apple will probably never use Ultra for the iPhone. Samsung went there first.

The naming convention is very confusing right now. Best to fix it asap.
I don’t think the proposed Plus/Pro/Ultra is intelligible to the average user. The following would be more intuitive:

iPhone
iPhone XL
iPhone Premium
iPhone Premium XL
 
Latest mockup of the 15, with extra large battery:

“Did you brick your iPhone?”
“No, it’s the Ultra.”
 
USB-C is a given due to EU regulation. Unless Apple opted for complete wireless iphone.
And the regular 15 getting the dynamic island is also a given, as this has been rumored way long ago, even before the iphone 14 launch .

I doubt the Ultra branding, unless it's a new high end special SKU.

So there will be 15 Pro, 15 Pro Max (simply a larger version of the Pro), and a 15 Ultra (ultra premium, maybe using titanium and gets fancy tech like the periscope lens, $1499). :D Apple will be doing another iphone X-like new SKU line, upping the price this time to $1499. Will be best seller. 😂
 
I think Apple will go completely portless and just use regular wireless charging and MagSafe, before bringing USB-C.
 
If they indeed go with the lineup iPhone 15, iPhone 15 Plus, iPhone 15 Pro, iPhone 15 Ultra then it would finally fix the naming scheme which they started in 2018 with iPhone XS and iPhone XS Max... Ultra would be shorter and quicker to say than Ultimate...

I no longer transfer files using lightning cable but through wi-fi instead or AirDrop between Apple devices... I guess for those who have a slow internet connection, USB type C connection is still the way to go... If you are transferring files from an Apple device to an android or Windows device, I suggest you use Send Anywhere using the website or through their app...

Having the iPhone switch to USB type C would be a good thing for me since I now have a Samsung Galaxy S10+ which uses that port and is not really a deal breaker for me since my current Apple devices iPhone 6s, iPhone 7 Plus, iPad 6 Wi-Fi, iPad 9 Wi-Fi all use lightning and I am still using Samsung Galaxy Note 4 which uses microUSB port so either I use a multiple in one cable or bring 3 different connectors with me...
 
The iPhone 14 models was barely released and now iPhone 15 rumours appeared.

Any rumours on the iPhone Fold/Flip?

From the X all the way to the 13 Pro (minus the 12 Pro), I've liked that finally Apple stopped giving all the best camera features only to the larger models. And now it looks like we're going back to the not-so-good old days from the 6 Plus to 8 Plus.

I wouldn't be surprised if this Ultra model gets 8GB of RAM while the Pro only gets 6GB, for what would be the 4th year in a row.
