iPhone 18 base model rumored for early 2027 with 2nm A20 and 12GB RAM
Rumors peg the standard iPhone 18 for an early 2027 debut (with Pro models in Sep 2026), keeping a design similar to the iPhone 17 while upgrading core hardware: a 2nm A20 chip delivering roughly 10–15% performance gains, ~12GB RAM with Samsung LPDDR5X memory, and Samsung-made stacked image sensors. A simplified Camera Control feature is suggested for the base model, and under-display Face ID appears unlikely on the non-Pro variant.
