The iPhone 18e has been tipped to keep a 60Hz display since June, when a 2027 iPhone lineup leak listed it at 6.12 inches with an LTPS panel, while the iPhone 18 and iPhone Air 2 moved to 120Hz LTPO screens. A new leak now repeats that claim and fills in more of the phone.
Digital Chat Station, the same tipster behind the earlier report, says the iPhone 18e has a 6.12-inch 60Hz LTPS OLED display, so you still won’t get 120Hz on the cheapest iPhone in the lineup.
What else the leak says
Apple is said to power the iPhone 18e with a 2nm A20 chip, an expected upgrade from the 3nm A19 chip in the iPhone 17e, which launched in March at $599 with 256GB of base storage. The screen grows by only a small amount, since the iPhone 17e has a 6.1-inch display.
The camera setup is relatively simple too. It’s said to have a single 48MP rear camera like the iPhone 17e. The front camera may move up to 24MP, according to the leak.
The leaker says the iPhone 18e will arrive in 2027. This corroborates a previous report that suspected a launch in spring 2027, separate from the iPhone 18 Pro models and the foldable iPhone Duo.
If the leak holds, you’d get a newer chip and possibly a better selfie camera, but you’d give up the smoother scrolling that the iPhone 18 is expected to have. Apple kept a 60Hz screen on the iPhone 17e too, and this leak suggests the company isn’t changing that approach for the next model.
Apple hasn’t announced anything about the iPhone 18e, so treat these details as unconfirmed. The leak doesn’t mention pricing either, so you’ll need to wait for more reports on that.
