Here's why the Apple Ultra rumors make sense to me

Key Points:
- Rumors suggest Apple may expand its "Ultra" branding beyond the Apple Watch to include upcoming products like a folding iPhone (potentially called iPhone Ultra) and a redesigned M6-powered MacBook (possibly MacBook Ultra).
- The Ultra branding could signify a new tier of Apple devices that emphasize either ultimate performance or impressive form factors, differentiating from existing Pro and Air models.
- For the MacBook lineup, Ultra might represent a sleek yet powerful machine, while the Pro could remain the most powerful but bulkier option, catering to different user preferences.
- The iPhone Ultra is expected to appeal to consumers wanting a standout form factor and larger screen, while the iPhone 18 Pro/Pro Max would target those seeking top camera and performance capabilities.
- This strategy could allow Apple to offer more product choices, encouraging customers to upgrade by addressing diverse needs without reverting to an overly complex product range.
