A leak says Apple's lower-priced iPhone 18e may again skip a high-refresh-rate screen, a feature many Android phones already offer, even some cheaper ones.
A leak about the iPhone 18e says Apple may once again leave out a smoother screen on its lower-priced iPhone. According to Android Authority, Apple is apparently holding back a high-refresh-rate display yet again. Many Android phones already have one.
Refresh rate is how many times per second a screen redraws the picture. A higher rate makes scrolling and swiping look smoother. The leak points to the iPhone 18e not getting that upgrade, based on the report. The iPhone 18e is Apple's lower-priced iPhone model.
The report notes that many Android phones already offer a high-refresh-rate screen. That includes some cheaper ones. So a buyer on a tight budget may find this feature on an Android phone that costs less than, or about the same as, a basic iPhone.
This is a leak, not an announcement. Apple has not confirmed the specs in the material we have. The source of the leak, the exact screen details and the price of the iPhone 18e are not given. Details could change before any official launch.
If a smooth screen matters on a budget, read the display specs first, because the cheaper iPhone may not have one.
