iPhone 18e isn't going to get a dramatic overhaul

The iPhone 18e will be a lot like the iPhone 17e with very few changes, with a switch from the notch to Dynamic Island probably not coming this time around.

However, it's unlikely to feature major changes, such as the move from a notch to the Dynamic Island at the top of the screen, which was rumored for the iPhone 17e but ultimately did not materialize.

The iPhone 18e is anticipated to maintain the use of a notch, at least for one more generation. While Fixed Focus Digital has a mixed reputation among other sources due to their tendency to repeat rumors from other leakers, their post seems plausible and is backed up by another more credible leaker who provided detailed specifications for the iPhone 18e on October 27.

Both leakers reported that the device would share many features with the iPhone 17e, including a 6.12-inch 60Hz LTPS OLED screen, a 48-megapixel rear camera, and an A20 processor. The self-portrait camera is expected to be 24 megapixels.
