Leaked iPhone 18 and 18e X-rays show Apple's reuse, reduce, recycle approach
Leaked X-ray images of the iPhone 18 and iPhone 18e show Apple reusing internal components and structural designs across both models, supporting a "reuse, reduce, recycle" approach. Multiple outlets report the standard iPhone 18 and the lower-cost 18e will share the same chassis and core layout while differing in camera configurations. Additional rumors point to a larger battery, a new processor, and two features borrowed from Pro models. Launch timing is cited as spring 2027.

Leaked X-rays reveal iPhone 18 and 18e internal design reuse
Leaked X-ray images of the iPhone 18 and iPhone 18e show Apple reusing internal components and structural designs across both models, supporting a "reuse, reduce, recycle" approach. Multiple outlets report the standard iPhone 18 and the lower-cost 18e will share the same chassis and core layout while differing in camera configurations. Additional rumors point to a larger battery, a new processor, and two features borrowed from Pro models. Launch timing is cited as spring 2027.
Why it matters
Apple typically differentiates its numbered and "e" series phones more visibly, so shared internal architecture signals a cost-saving shift that could affect repairability, production scale, and pricing. The spring 2027 window would break Apple's usual September cadence, making the timeline itself a key variable.
