Apple is rumored to have three new iPhone models launching in early 2027: iPhone 18, iPhone 18e, and iPhone Air 2. Here’s what to expect from the iPhone 18 models per the latest leak.
When the AI-driven memory crisis started escalating last year, reports indicated that Apple planned to cut costs with its more budget-friendly iPhone 18 models by using the same manufacturing process for both.
Subsequent rumors indicated iPhone 18 and iPhone 18e might be more similar than usual as a result, and the latest leak offers more evidence of that.
In a post on Weibo, Fixed Focus Digital shares new details about both the iPhone 18 and iPhone 18e based on a leaked image verified by several sources.
The image outlines several specs coming with iPhone 18 and iPhone 18e:
- Larger battery in both models, with an identical 4430mAh capacity
- Main camera in iPhone 18 will decrease slightly in size, but will still be 48MP
- Both models will feature 6.3-inch displays
- Ultra Wide camera will remain exclusive to iPhone 18
Offering the same battery in both devices is likely a cost-cutting measure, but it’s great news for users. Combining larger batteries with the efficiency gains of the A20 chip sounds like a significant upgrade.
The move to a 6.3-inch display on the iPhone 18e also suggests the device will transition away from the notch to a Dynamic Island. Apple has not previously released a 6.3-inch iPhone with a notch, making that outcome unlikely here as well.
