Might be priced too high for my budget, but what if it comes with a massive battery life increase.... or product red!

Seriously, I completely agree. It is so much easier to handle and extract from my jeans' front pocket. I hope Apple never gets rid of it.
Careful, Apple. If you push too far into the professional space you'll find yourself offering a nice physical keyboard.
starting with a high end storage of 128GB.
A bit bigger, faster and with a slight better iPhone camera, but with fewer charging options, just doesn't sound particularly "ultra" considering what the Pro Max already is and does. I'm still trying to imagine what's missing and couldn't be added to the Pro that would justify a separate, even more expensive phone.
Without any ports then Apple Car users will be screwed unless you have wireless support.
Charging becomes interesting as well. I am charging my phone while playing games. Yes, I have wireless charging pads but when the phone is horizontal on one of those it just is not charging along with game play friendly. Or if you have an external corded battery pack. They could do those to support wireless but that is not common.
Also can't use wired headphones even with adapters. Must be wireless friendly across the board.
I like the idea of a case that does not have water intake ports. Still have to risk the microphone and speakers though.

Let me guess the only premium feature it will have is a better camera
Cute render... but the orange accents? cmon.. there's NO way that's happening..
And activity and location tracker for explorers makes some sense... but a high end Phone designed for "explorers"? .... idk man... It's probably still coming, but not with that consumer demographic in mind...
(but lets be honest... less than 1% (at most) of people who own an Apple Watch Ultra actually do any "exploring" in the wild..)

When innovation runs dry, just slap a new name on it and increase the price!

Well I don't like it since it's likely to tear off features that would have gone into the Pro phones as exclusive to the Ultra.

No way! Product Red iPhone looks stunning. Can't go wrong! It has a premium look to it.
Buy a red cover,..nobody wants red, otherwise it would already be in the current range. Too niche a color.
In the eye of the beholder? I honestly hate red. Those images haven't changed my mind 🤷♂️😂
This I agree with. I've kept all the pics from my origional iPhone 3G and on 😁
Honestly, if it doesn’t have a SIM card slot (so I can use it in any country with any carrier) and a physical headphone jack with a built-in DAC that can process Apple Music at 24-bit/192 kHz, then it’s hardly Ultra. It’s not even “Pro.”
I would definitely want something like that if Apple fill it with battery, but I think people are over estimating how popular that would be. Right now the camera bump alone is around 4mm and the phone without the bump is around 7mm. Removing the camera bump would mean a dramatic increase in thickness and weight, and people are already complaining that the pro max is too heavy as it is.
Can’t believe the people in here saying how they’re looking forward to this phone. Tim Cook is robbing them blind and they’re up for it.
Hopefully falls flat in sales. Total greedy money grab from a company fast running out of ideas. If nobody buys into this then you’ll soon see prices drop and reversion back to a single iPhone model that has all the periscope cameras latest and greatest chips etc.
Created the Pro line to squeeze more money from customers for features that should be in the basic iPhone. Now squeezed the price limit as far as we can with the Pro line so need another tier to keep the price heading skywards.
Tim Cook needs to go.
