Apple reportedly plans iPhone Air 2 for spring 2027 with added camera
Apple is working on a second-generation iPhone Air, though it has not announced the device.
The current model reportedly sold below Apple’s expectations, and its successor was taken off the schedule without a new release date before reports said development was still underway.
The iPhone Air 2 is expected to add an ultra-wide rear camera, giving it a second camera.
Reports also point to a faster, more efficient A20 Pro chip, a larger battery and a vapor chamber cooling system.
These changes could improve photo options, battery life and performance, but the details have not been confirmed by Apple.
The phone was first expected in September 2026, but the latest reported plan is a spring 2027 release alongside the base iPhone 18.
Apple has not confirmed a release date or the rumored features.
