If you consider the word Ultimate to mean the latest or the very best, then you can easily understand it to refer to the most recent, or last thing. It does require that you accept or believe that there is a steady improvement from one thing to the thing that follows it and that, thus, the last thing is the best thing or, in this case, the best thing is the last thing. Better certainly than the thing that preceded the last thing.
