Apple’s next entry-level iPhone could get a larger display and a bigger battery than the current iPhone 17e, which has a 6.1-inch screen and a 4,005 mAh battery.

As reported by MacRumors, Weibo leaker Fixed Focus Digital shared a purported internal diagram labelling the iPhone 18 as “Taycan” and the iPhone 18e as “Nevera.” Its annotations list a 6.3-inch display and a 4,430 mAh battery for both models. The leaker said the diagram was already circulating online and broadly matched what their sources had told them.

If accurate, 4,430 mAh would be about 11% more capacity than the iPhone 17e’s 4,005 mAh. Capacity does not guarantee battery life, since the display and other components also affect power use.

The diagram also shows a single rear camera on the iPhone 18e and two on the standard iPhone 18, including an Ultra Wide.

The display claim conflicts with earlier rumours. Digital Chat Station previously said the iPhone 18e would keep a 6.12-inch, 60Hz OLED display, and the same leaker claimed in June that the model would not support ProMotion. Even a 6.3-inch panel would not guarantee 120Hz scrolling.

In Canada, the iPhone 17e starts at $999 CAD for 256GB after Apple’s September price increase raised it from $899 CAD. Apple has not announced the iPhone 18e, and there is no Canadian price for it yet.

The iPhone 18e is rumoured to launch in spring 2027 alongside the standard iPhone 18.
