After replacing the mini variant with the Max variant, Apple may replace the Pro Max moniker with the Ultra moniker. According to a report by Bloomberg, Apple may launch the iPhone 15 Ultra next year instead of a Pro Max option. Apple recently used the “Ultra” naming for the Apple Watch and the top-end version of the M1 chipset.
Rounded design
Popular tipster ShrimpApplePro has revealed that the iPhone 15 will feature a rounded design, moving away from the existing squared-off design. Apple had last used a rounded design for the 2015 iPhone 5C.

USB Type-C port
Apple may be finally moving towards a Type-C port for its iPhones. The European Union (EU) and India are pushing for a common device charger. The European Parliament has already passed a resolution mandating that all consumer electronic devices should have USB Type-C ports by the end of 2024.
Apple is expected to move from its lightning port to the Type-C port to comply with EU’s guidelines.
Periscope camera
Apple has reportedly been working on a periscope telephoto lens technology for some time now, and the company is expected to use this lens for the iPhone 15 Pro models.
The Periscope lens will allow the device to offer up to 10x optical zoom, a huge improvement over the existing telephoto lens, which is limited to 3x zoom.
