iPhone 18e reportedly comes with 2nm A20 chip and 60Hz screen
The leaks suggest the front camera could also see a boost.
New leaks from Digital Chat Station on Weibo suggest the upcoming iPhone 18e will feature an A20 chip with a 2nm architecture. This marks the first appearance of the A20 chip outside of Apple's Pro models. The iPhone 17e currently boasts a 3nm A19 chip, so the transition to a 2nm A20 could potentially result in significant performance enhancements.
Furthermore, the 18e is rumored to be equipped with a 48MP single rear camera. While the front camera resolution remains unspecified, it is expected to be upgraded from the 24MP camera found in the iPhone 17e. The device will also maintain a 60Hz refresh rate display on a 6.12-inch OLED screen, mirroring the specifications of the existing iPhone 17e.
However, details regarding pricing are not currently available, which could be particularly noteworthy given the ongoing challenges in component costs. As Apple continues to grapple with the effects of RAMaggedon, it is anticipated that the iPhone 18e will be unveiled in the spring, alongside a standard iPhone 18 model and a potential second-generation iPhone Air release.
