New leaks from social media posts by Digital Chat Station on Weibo suggest what the next wave of specs for the iPhone 18e will be. As reported by 9to5Mac, the leaker says the next iteration of the entry-level smartphone will have an A20 chip, which to date has not appeared except as a Pro model. The iPhone 17e had a 3nm A19 chip, so the swap to a 2nm A20, even one that isn't at Pro level, could offer some notable performance upgrades.
