Apple iPhone 18 to Perform Worse Than the iPhone 17? Apple Makes Unusual Decision

Apple is reportedly considering lowering some specs of the iPhone 18 base model, possibly making it closer to the iPhone 18e to cut manufacturing costs.

Changes could affect the display and A20 chip-related specs, and the base model’s launch may be delayed.

The iPhone 18 Pro is said to be less likely to be affected.

The move suggests Apple may be adjusting pricing and widening differentiation between the standard and Pro lineups.
