iPhone 18e Leak Points to a 6.3-Inch Display and the Same 4,430mAh Battery as the iPhone 18

Apple’s iPhone 18e could get a bigger screen and a much larger battery, according to Weibo leaker Fixed Focus Digital. The leaker shared an annotated side-by-side diagram of the phones’ purported internals, labeled “Taycan” for the iPhone 18 and “Nevera” for the iPhone 18e. It lists a 4,430mAh battery for both models and, according to the leaker, both would have 6.3-inch displays.

If the diagram is accurate, the iPhone 18e’s battery would be about 11% larger than the iPhone 17e’s. The notes attribute the extra room in the standard iPhone 18 to changes to the bottom speaker and haptic engine. The display size is disputed, though, since Digital Chat Station previously reported that the iPhone 18e would keep a 6.12-inch 60Hz OLED panel.

The diagrams show the two phones sharing a similar motherboard layout and MagSafe coil placement, which suggests Apple could reuse many internal parts. The visible difference is the camera: the iPhone 18 has two rear cameras, including an ultrawide, while the iPhone 18e keeps a single one. The leaker also said earlier that a new chip was the only iPhone 18e upgrade they could confirm at the time, in line with the A20-focused iPhone 18e rumor we covered last week.

The iPhone 18e is expected to launch in spring 2027, alongside the standard iPhone 18 and the second-generation iPhone Air. The standard model is also reportedly getting a bigger battery than the iPhone 17, and Apple hasn’t announced either phone.
