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. The iPhone 17 and iPhone 17e Apple has a tendency to keep the general design of its products fairly static, with only occasional overhauls every couple of generations. For the iPhone 18e, it seems that will be the approach Apple will take…
The upcoming iPhone 18e is expected to retain a similar design to its predecessor, the iPhone 17e, with only minimal modifications. According to a post on Weibo by leaker Fixed Focus Digital on November 3, the new model will likely continue the current design trend of Apple devices. 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.
