iPhone 18 and 18e May Come With the Same 4,430 mAh Battery

Apple is expected to release 3 new smartphones in early 2027: the iPhone 18, iPhone 18e and iPhone Air 2. The new leak mainly reveals technical details about the more affordable iPhone 18 models. The information has not yet been officially confirmed, and these specifications could change before the devices are unveiled.

According to the leak, the iPhone 18 and iPhone 18e could have the same 4,430 mAh battery. This is larger than the batteries in the previous devices and could help the phones last longer on a single charge. Using the same battery in both models could also reduce production costs.

Both smartphones are claimed to have 6.3-inch displays. The larger display on the iPhone 18e indicates that the notch will be removed. It could be replaced by the Dynamic Island area, which displays notifications and open apps. Apple has not released a 6.3-inch display with a notch to date.

Some camera differences are also expected. The iPhone 18’s main camera sensor could be slightly smaller, but its resolution, which indicates image quality, will remain 48 MP. An ultrawide camera that captures a wider field of view could be available only on the iPhone 18. The iPhone 18e is not expected to have such a camera.

Previous reports said Apple could choose the same manufacturing process to reduce production costs for the more affordable models. This was attributed to rising memory component prices as demand for artificial intelligence systems increases. The A20 processor, which is expected to be more energy-efficient, could also extend the phones’ battery life when combined with the larger battery. No additional technical details about the iPhone Air 2 have been disclosed.
