Even with expectations for the launch of the original iPhone Ultra still high, an analyst known for accurate information revealed that Apple is already planning a second version of the device. The decision to develop a second generation model would already be made.
However, the same contact points out that the technology giant has not yet decided whether it will continue with the manufacture of a third edition iPhone Air. The final verdict on this device is still pending.
Green light for the second generation iPhone Ultra
Until recently, there was uncertainty about the exact launch date of the first iPhone Ultra. Speculations indicated a possible postponement until the end of the year or the beginning of the next.
However, this information has become obsolete, as the most recent news suggests that the device should arrive in September, at the same time as the iPhone 18 Pro.
The Digital Chat Station portal, which specializes in technological leaks, recently reported that Apple approved the creation of a second generation model. Although the website does not detail the expected news, it said that the device’s screen will not change in its next version.
The design for the iPhone Ultra 2, which will include a foldable screen, has already been confirmed by the company. There is a good chance that the display will be the same as the one used in the model that will be launched this year.
Uncertainty hovers over the launch of the iPhone Air 3
The same news platform also reported that Apple has not yet decided on whether to continue the iPhone Air 3 project. Approval for this device is still under internal debate.
The iPhone Air 2 is expected to come equipped with an additional camera, in the form of an ultra-wide lens. Digital Chat Station indicates that Apple intends to monitor the commercial success of the iPhone Air 2 before moving forward with the development of a successor.
9to5Mac Analysis of Apple’s Future Plans
These statements, even if they are confirmed, may not have such a definitive weight in the company’s scenario. Development plans are always subject to change.
Apple usually plans the development of its products years in advance. Therefore, the news that the company is already working on the iPhone Ultra 2 is not unusual, reflecting an ongoing cycle of innovation. However, it is important to note that initial approval of a project does not guarantee its definitive launch; If the previous model does not meet sales expectations, the project can easily be discontinued.
Similarly, it is likely that there is already a team dedicated to the development of the iPhone Air 3. This occurs even though the final decision on its commercialization has not yet been officially taken by the company.
One justification for the difference in reports may be Apple’s search for methods to substantially lower the cost of the Ultra 2. If this is possible, the company could have greater confidence in the launch, even if the first-generation Ultra does not achieve great popularity.
