The iPhone 18 lineup is still months away, but the leaks keep coming, and this one is good news for anyone who lives in fear of the low battery warning. Tipster Fixed Focus Digital shared new details about the iPhone 18 and iPhone 18e on Weibo. The details come from a leaked image that he says several sources have verified.
According to the leak, both phones will pack the same 4,430mAh battery, which is a step up from their predecessors. Both models will also get 6.3-inch displays. The main camera on the iPhone 18 will shrink slightly in size, but it will still shoot at 48MP. Meanwhile, the Ultra Wide camera will stay exclusive to the iPhone 18, so iPhone 18e buyers will have to live without it.
Why does the same battery matter?
Using the same battery in both phones is most likely Apple’s way of cutting costs, but users are the real winners here. A bigger battery paired with the efficiency gains of the A20 chip could mean a serious boost in battery life. If your iPhone is usually begging for a charger by dinner, this might be the upgrade worth waiting for.
Is the iPhone 18e finally ditching the notch?
The bigger display on the iPhone 18e is the most exciting part of this leak. Apple has never made a 6.3-inch iPhone with a notch, so the larger screen likely means the iPhone 18e will swap the notch for a Dynamic Island. I really hope Apple doesn’t break that streak now, because a Dynamic Island on the most affordable iPhone would make it a much easier recommendation.
