Recent reports suggest that Apple is planning to introduce an ‘Ultra’ model in its upcoming iPhone 17 series, potentially replacing the current ‘Pro Max’ variant. This aligns with previous speculations that Apple might rebrand its high-end models, a notion supported by Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman in 2022. ​Lowyat.net
The anticipated iPhone 17 Ultra is expected to feature a thinner design compared to its predecessors, with dimensions similar to the rumored iPhone 17 Air. Both models are reported to have a height of 163 mm and a width of 77.6 mm. However, the Ultra model is expected to be approximately 8.72 mm thick, whereas the Air model is rumored to be significantly thinner at 5.5 mm, excluding the camera bump. ​Lowyat.net
