iPhone 18 leak suggests Apple is planning some big changes, here is what we know so far
A recent leak suggests Apple may downgrade some iPhone 18 specifications to maintain pricing amid rising component costs. The changes could include a less advanced manufacturing process, chipset specifications, and RAM.
Apple is planning to release the iPhone 18 in early 2027, according to recent reports. A leak on Weibo suggests the company may downgrade some specifications, such as the manufacturing process, chipset, and RAM, to keep the price the same as the iPhone 17. Rising memory prices due to increased demand for AI compute power are driving this decision. The iPhone 18 may still feature upgrades like a new A20 processor, 12GB RAM, and a 24-megapixel front camera. If the leak is true, Apple will need to differentiate the iPhone 18 from the iPhone 18e, which currently differ in several features. The price of the iPhone 17 was increased in some markets last year, but remained the same in the US.
