Apple is reportedly working on a new affordable iPhone model, and the latest iPhone 18e leaks suggest that the device could arrive in the first quarter of 2027. A recent post on X has shared several details about the alleged phone, including its display, processor, cameras, modem and expected pricing.
The Apple iPhone 18e is expected to follow Apple's current e series strategy, offering some of the company's latest technologies while keeping the price lower than the flagship iPhone models. Reports also point to a spring 2027 launch for the device.
Apple iPhone 18e Leaks: Know The Expected Specs
According to the latest leak, the iPhone 18e could feature a familiar 6.1 inch display. However, Apple may continue to limit the affordable model to a 60Hz refresh rate instead of bringing ProMotion technology. Recent reports also support the 6.1 inch 60Hz display claim.
The leaked specifications include:
- Display: 6.1-inch, 60Hz
- Processor: Apple A20 chip
- Modem: Apple C2
- Rear camera: 48-megapixel Fusion single camera
- Front camera: 12-megapixel
- Design: Dynamic Island
- Software: iOS 27
- AI: Siri and Apple Intelligence integration

The A20 chip could be one of the biggest upgrades. Reports suggest that Apple may manufacture the A20 using a 2nm process, which could improve performance and power efficiency. The C2 modem is also expected to bring better connectivity and efficiency.

iPhone 18e Price And Launch Date
The leak claims that Apple could price the iPhone 18e at $599 (roughly Rs 54,175) for the base model, while a higher storage variant could cost $699 (roughly Rs 66,720). This would keep the phone positioned as Apple's more affordable entry point.
The device is reportedly scheduled for Q1 2027, although Apple has not confirmed the launch timeline. Current reports also suggest that Apple could move the standard iPhone 18 and iPhone 18e launches to spring 2027 as part of a major change to its iPhone release strategy.
For now, these remain leaks and should be taken with caution. If the reported specifications are accurate, the iPhone 18e could offer a notable combination of the A20 chip, Dynamic Island and Apple Intelligence at a relatively lower price.
