What's the story

Apple will introduce the iPhone 15 line-up in 2023. The brand may replace the 'Pro Max' model with an 'Ultra' moniker, and add some noticeable upgrades, making it next year's most feature-rich iPhone. According to the latest estimations by LeaksApplePro, the iPhone 15 Ultra could get 8K video recording, a new periscope lens, and a bigger battery. Here's more.

Context

Why does this story matter?

Following the launch of the iPhone 14 line-up, the leakers have now begun tipping off details for the upcoming iPhone 15 series. The iPhone 14 Pro Max has been able to outperform the Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra in different benchmark tests. Therefore, Apple might now be gearing up for the more potent iPhone 15 Ultra which will go against Samsung's upcoming flagship model.

Improvement

Support for 8K video recording is expected

The iPhone 15 Ultra's camera setup is expected to be capable of recording videos in 8K resolution. The Android handsets already have the ability to accomplish this task. However, Apple's latest iPhones are still limited to shooting 4K videos. The 15 Ultra's rear camera setup might also sport a new periscope lens with optical zoom, which will improve the zooming ability.
