A Chinese leaker claims the budget iPhone 18e will keep a 60Hz LTPS LCD like the iPhone 17e and won’t include ProMotion or Always-On display. LTPO 120Hz panels aren’t expected on this model until a fourth-generation release around 2028, with LTPO+ tech possibly reserved for higher-end models (such as a new iPhone Air and a foldable). If the new technology isn’t ready, LTPO adoption for the 19e could be delayed.
The PGA Tour unveils a two-series model for 2028, introducing the PGA TOUR Challenger Series alongside the PGA TOUR Championship Series. The Challenger Series will run at least 20 events with $4M-plus purses from February to August (including about seven events during Championship Series off weeks), using a 72-hole format with a 36-hole cut and its own season-long points system. At least 20 players from the Challenger Series will be promoted to the Championship Series each year, with a fall “last chance” series for others and additional paths via multiple wins or by winning a major. Top 90 in Championship Series points retain status; relegation between series will be defined later. Eligibility follows the current exempt/conditional framework; majors do not count toward Challenger Series event totals, but points can be earned for majors if eligible. Q-School remains to grant access to Challenger Series and other pathways, and Championship Series members cannot participate in the Challenger Series.
