The claim
The standard iPhone 18 will have a larger battery than the iPhone 17's 3,692 mAh, keep a 6.3-inch 120Hz OLED with Dynamic Island, use the 2nm A20 and dual 48MP cameras, and may cost more.
Why we rated it Rumor
From Weibo leaker Digital Chat Station, relayed by MacRumors, The Verge and AppleInsider. DCS has a fair supply-chain record, and a battery bump fits Apple raising capacities on the iPhone 18 Pro. But no capacity was given, and the price part is the leaker's own speculation with no figure or market; Apple already raised the iPhone 17 to $899 in September. Apple has said nothing.
