There is currently no iPhone 16 Ultra model in the newly launched iPhone 16 lineup. Despite previous rumors and speculation about the potential introduction of an Ultra variant, Apple has only released the iPhone 16, iPhone 16 Plus, iPhone 16 Pro, and iPhone 16 Pro Max during its recent event on September 9, 2024[1][2][3].
While discussions about an Ultra model have circulated, particularly following Apple's introduction of the Apple Watch Ultra, the consensus among analysts and reports is that the iPhone 16 Ultra will not be part of this year's offerings. Instead, the Pro Max model will continue to serve as the highest-tier option in the iPhone 16 series[2][4]. The absence of an Ultra model in the current lineup suggests that any potential Ultra variant may be reserved for future releases, possibly the iPhone 17 in 2025[2][3].
