Leaker: Apple to Downgrade iPhone 18 in Two Ways

A rumor from Fixed Focus Digital says Apple may keep the iPhone 18’s price flat by cutting hardware costs instead of charging more.

The reported changes include a dimmer display, a less capable GPU, and possibly a renamed A-series chip.

Testing for the iPhone 18 and iPhone 18e is said to be happening around the same time.

If true, Apple would be pushing standard iPhone models closer to lower-cost hardware, narrowing the gap with the e-series.
