Leak reveals details for more iPhone 18 models launching early 2027
By Google News Technology ·
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.
Last year when the AI-driven memory crisis started escalating, 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 he says has been verified by several sources.
The image outlines several specs coming with iPhone 18 and iPhone 18e:
Offering the same battery in both devices is likely a cost-cutting measure, but it’s great news for users. Bringing larger batteries alongside the efficiency gains of A20 sounds like a big upgrade.
The move to a 6.3-inch display on iPhone 18e likely means the device will move away from the notch to a Dynamic Island instead. Apple hasn’t made 6.3-inch displays with a notch before, so here’s hoping it doesn’t start now.
