Apple's standard iPhone 18 and the lower-cost iPhone 18e will both feature 6.3-inch displays and use the same 4,430 mAh battery, according to leaker Fixed Focus Digital. In a new Weibo post, the source shared an annotated diagram of the phones' internals, labeled "Taycan" for the iPhone 18 and "Nevera" for the iPhone 18e. The battery represents an increase of about 21% from 3,671 mAh for the standard model and roughly 11% from 4,005 mAh for the iPhone 18e.
The diagram shows two rear cameras on the standard iPhone 18, including an Ultra Wide camera, and a single rear camera on the iPhone 18e. A 6.3-inch display would be a step up from the 6.1-inch screen on the iPhone 17e. Fellow Weibo leaker Digital Chat Station previously claimed the iPhone 18e would retain a 6.12-inch OLED at 60Hz, along with a single 48-megapixel rear camera.
Fixed Focus Digital said a new chip was the only confirmed iPhone 18e upgrade, with Digital Chat Station expecting Apple's 2nm A20 chip, up from the 3nm A19. Analyst Ming-Chi Kuo said spring 2027 iPhones will pair the A20 with 9GB of RAM, up from 8GB. Both models are rumored to get Apple's C2 modem. The iPhone 18e is expected to launch in spring 2027 alongside the standard iPhone 18 and second-generation iPhone Air.
