With the launch of the Apple iPhone 14 series, the company had officially killed off its iPhone mini series. Now, a new report has suggested that the base 6.1 inch iPhone’s days are also numbered.
For those unaware, there have been rumors going around that the Cupertino based giant has been working on an iPhone Ultra model. However, this doesn’t just mean that the brand is simply planning on adding a new phone to the iPhone lineup. Rather, it is rumored that the company might discontinue the 6.1 inch base iPhone model (Via PhoneArena). This rumor had sparked backlash from many, who took to Twitter to voice out their disapproval of the iPhone 15 Ultra model.
Some stated that the iPhone Pro Max models are already too large. At the moment, the base model is the only true compact flagship phone from the brand, which some people prefer. So, it is not surprising that there are people against another big iPhone model. There is also a chance that Apple will launch the iPhone 15 Ultra with some exclusive Ultra features, which has also raised concerns with its customers that do not wish to have another Pro Max model in the market, despite rumors of the Ultra being the replacement for the top end Pro Max series.
Interestingly, there was a recent rumor regarding the iPhone 15 Ultra featuring a premium titanium build. If this is true, it might address some of the issues of Apple users that complain of the iPhone 14 Pro Max being too heavy and unwieldy with one hand since titanium is 45 percent lighter than stainless steel but still just as strong. But keep in mind that this is still just an unconfirmed report, so take this news with a pinch of salt for now.
