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.

The post iPhone 18e specs leak, retains 60Hz display and a single rear camera appeared first on Gizmochina.

Apple‘s 2027 iPhone lineup is making it to the leak mill today, courtesy of tipster Digital Chat Station (DCS). The insider shared details about what Apple is planning for next year, covering both new models and early development work on future generations.

According to the leak, Apple’s 2027 lineup will include the iPhone Air 2, iPhone 18, and iPhone 18e. All three are said to come with 1.5K OLED displays.

The iPhone Air 2 will have a 6.55-inch screen with a 120Hz LTPO refresh rate. The iPhone 18 comes in at 6.3 inches, also with 120Hz LTPO. The iPhone 18e is the smallest at 6.12 inches, and it also steps down to a 60Hz LTPS panel. 

This fits with what has been reported about Apple’s split launch plan. Apple is expected to release the iPhone 18 Pro, iPhone 18 Pro Max, and its first foldable iPhone in fall 2026, with the standard iPhone 18 and iPhone 18e following in early 2027. The iPhone Air 2 would likely be part of that same early 2027 wave.

iPhone 19 Pro and Apple’s second foldable in testing too

Beyond the standard models, the leak mentions Apple has started iPhone 19 Pro series testing and molding behind the scenes. Not surprising, since hardware development typically begins a year or more before a device hits the market.

The leak also touches on the iPhone Ultra 2, Apple’s second foldable. DCS says its foldable screen has also been tested and molded, while a previous report clarified that it will have a wider canvas than its predecessor. 

On the naming, DCS notes that “iPhone 19” is a tentative label. He described it simply as “the next generation iPhone,” so the final name could be different.

For context on where the iPhone 18 currently stands, the Pro models are expected to come with a variable aperture camera system and improved image sensors, with Apple reportedly pushing a bigger gap between standard and Pro tiers this generation. More details are available in our iPhone 18 Pro upgrades breakdown.
