New technical claims have emerged regarding the iPhone Air 2, which is expected to be the second model in Apple's ultra-thin phone series. According to leaks based on South Korean sources, the company aims to increase battery capacity and implement a significant update on the camera side, despite a thinner body in the new model.
According to information shared by yeux1122, known for their posts on the Naver forum, the thickness of the iPhone Air 2 could drop to the 5.2 mm level. This figure points to a thinner design than the 5.6 mm body discussed for the first generation. It is suggested that the titanium frame will be retained in the device, ensuring that the goal of durability is not abandoned despite the thinness.
EXPECTATIONS FOR CHANGES IN BATTERY AND CAMERA
One of the most notable topics in the leaks is the battery capacity. It is claimed that thanks to battery cells with higher energy density, Apple could use a battery approaching the 3,500 mAh level in the iPhone Air 2. Compared to the 3,149 mAh capacity discussed for the first model, this increase strengthens expectations for improvements in battery life, which is frequently criticized in ultra-thin phones.
It is also stated that the single-camera setup may be abandoned. It is claimed that a second 48 MP ultra-wide-angle sensor will be included in the new model in addition to the 48 MP main camera. If this change occurs, the Air series could move from being a design-focused option to a more ambitious position in terms of photography and video.
On the hardware side, it is suggested that the iPhone Air 2 will be powered by the A20 Pro processor, which is expected to come to the fore during the same period as the iPhone 18 Pro series. There is also talk that the N2 wireless chip and the Apple-designed C2 baseband processor could be included in the device. These components are expected to provide advantages in terms of power consumption and heat management, as well as performance.
Among the leaks is the possibility that a smaller Dynamic Island design could be used on the screen side. This could aim to increase the screen-to-body ratio and offer a wider viewing area. However, it should be remembered that all this information does not yet constitute an official announcement and that Apple may make changes to its final product plans.
According to current claims, the iPhone Air 2 is expected to be introduced in the spring of 2027. It is suggested that the model could take the stage alongside the standard iPhone 18 and the iPhone 18e, which is expected to be more affordable.
