Are there expected to be two iPhone 15 Pro models, one larger than the other?

Could it be that only the 15 Pro Max will get a lighter titanium frame in addition to the periscope lens? That would make sense if Apple is only raising the price of the 15 Pro Max and not the regular 15 Pro.
Update - Both models are getting titanium.

No. The article headline is wrong. There is the Pro (6.1 size screen) and the Pro Max (6.7 size screen).
I'm genuinely confused, so I apologize if I'm misreading the screenshots, but, it is of my understanding that "302.1 GB of 1.02 TB" means that you've only used up 302.1 GB out of 1 TB of storage, which means that you have (roughly) 700 GB of free space. Once again, I apologize if I'm reading it wrong.
With respect to the iCloud storage, however, I can see the issue there, and I would like to see an increase of storage (for the same price, however: I don't agree with getting Apple One and then getting more iCloud storage on top of it).

Sorry for the confusion. Here's the breakdown!
Yes! 302.1GB out of 1.02 GB. That is correct. However, If I choose to store all my iPhone storage data in a local iPhone it will not be able to accept it because I will run out of space because iCloud Data storage contains 1.2TB of storage data. (That is alone in the iPhone not including other devices). In order for the iPhone to handle 1.2TB of Storage data I need an iPhone that comes with more than 1TB. So preferable to 1.5TB or 2TB iPhone. I hope this was helpful!
My fingers are crossed that Apple increases the iCloud Storage. These ProRAW images take way too much data storage.

I’m beginning to wonder if there’s another “extra” that the 15 Pro Max is getting (titanium frame?) that the regular 15 Pro won’t get to justify the price increase?
Nice Clickbait MacRumors, calling normal Pro “smaller”
That makes a lot more sense for me with the added context (although, perhaps you did say this in a sense and I didn't read it properly, so I apologize if that were the case). Thanks for clarifying.

You tried to clarify, but then put in ”K” when you meant “TB”
Well, I guess it wouldn’t be a normal Apple product introduction if we didn’t experience some disappointment.
This actually would be fine with me as I was going to downgrade my storage from 256GB to 128GB this year if possible, making the price increase ineffective for me. I realized I don’t need 256GB of storage when I’m paying $10/month for iCloud Photos which optimizes space on my phone. And Apple gives you the same trade-in value no matter what storage size you pick, so it’s always more cost effective to go for the smallest storage size anyways.
Perhaps there really is a titanium ‘ultra’ in addition to the stainless steel pro and pro max? Maybe only the ultra has the periscope lens.
Wasn’t there a rumor of the Pro Max being renamed Ultra? If it alone gets the periscope camera and a price hike, then that and this rumor seem to reinforce each other.
It would also bring more consistency with the Apple Watch line naming. Ultra = biggest and best.
Although I don’t know if Apple cares about consistency. The naming scheme across their product lines is all over the place:
Watch
Nothing = standard
SE = worst
Ultra = biggest and best
Airpods
Nothing = standard
Pro = better
Max = biggest and best
iPhone
Nothing = standard
SE = worst and smallest
Plus = biggest
Pro = best
Max = biggest
iPad
Nothing = standard
Mini = smallest and better
Air = better
Pro = best
Macbook
Air = standard
Pro = slightly better (for 13”)
Pro = best (for 14/16”)
Mac desktop
Mini = standard
i = built-in display
Studio = better
Pro = best (barely)
M chips
Nothing = standard
Pro = better
Max = even better
Ultra = best
(Size differences can be ignored here, since it’s not relevant)
(*Worst/better/best do not take into account battery and screen size since those are directly tied to the size of the device.)
The only consistent naming I see is:
- SE is always worst (and sometimes smallest)
- Nothing is always standard (though standard is not always Nothing)
- Ultra is always best and biggest (though best and biggest is not always Ultra)
Everything else is inconsistent or a one-off.

Nor the MacBook with 256GB but 512Gb
If the smaller Pro would have gone up in price too, I wouldn't have been surprised if this time around, the old 14 Pro also remained in the lineup for this year to fill the price gap between the 15 Plus and 15 Pro
I haven’t done much research but I think proraw is only if you intend to do a lot of editing and adjusting of your pics using studio software and such and I never do that so I turned off raw to save space maybe you should turn it off too….unless im wrong and raw really is like a thousand times better quality..
Nobody mentioning the mysterious iPhone in FCC fillings? The iPhone 15 Ultra will co-exist with the Pro Max to test the waters with an even higher price tag!
This headline has me very upset as I thought we might get an iPhone 15 mini to replace my wifes 12 
You have to understand, while the mini sells less than regular, it has a die-hard fanbase.
If they release a new mini, every 3 years, the last batch of people from 3 years earlier, will buy one.
My wife won't ever buy a large phone again I've been told, she has a 12 mini now. If the SE4 is more powerful, she might get it, though she'd prefer to have a premium phone.
I think it would make sense if they made the Ultra as like an extra device.
Pro
Pro Max
Ultra or Pro Max Ultra with the titanium and periscope lens.
Next year eliminate the Pro Max and just have the Pro and Ultra.
