Leaker Fixed Focus Digital posted on Weibo that Apple’s iPhone 18 (codename Taycan) will use a 4,430 mAh battery and that the iPhone 18e (codename Nevera) will share the same capacity.
The report says the iPhone 18 is expected to enter its production phase later this month.
Fixed Focus Digital notes the 4,430 mAh cell represents about a 20% increase over the iPhone 17’s 3,692 mAh battery.
The source says the larger battery comes at the cost of the physical SIM slot, which has been removed.
The report also specifies a redesigned Taptic engine and a bottom-firing speaker for the iPhone 18 models.
Both phones are listed with 6.3-inch OLED displays, contradicting earlier speculation that the 18e would use a 6.12-inch panel.
The standard iPhone 18 will use an LTPO OLED with a 120 Hz refresh rate; the 18e will be capped at 60 Hz.
Both models are expected to carry binned Apple A20 chipsets built on TSMC’s 2 nm process, according to the leak.
On cameras, the iPhone 18 will keep a wide and an ultrawide configuration but use a physically smaller main sensor that remains 48 MP. The 18e is listed with a single 48 MP rear shooter.
The Weibo post included automated X-ray inspection images attributed to the source.
Apple is expected to announce the iPhone 18, iPhone 18e and Air 2 models in spring, during March-April 2027.
