GoKawiilApple is aiming to launch an iPhone Air 2 in the spring of 2027, Bloomberg reports today. The iPhone Air 2 will reportedly retain the same design as the current model, but with improvements in two key areas.
iPhone Air 2 to focus on camera, battery life
First, the report says current iPhone Air 2 prototypes inside Apple have two cameras on the back. The current iPhone Air has a single 48MP rear camera. Today’s report says the iPhone Air 2 will add an ultra-wide camera alongside the existing 1x camera. If you were hoping for a telephoto camera, it sounds like you’re out of luck for right now.
The report also says Apple is focused on improving battery life on the iPhone Air 2, though specifics are unknown:
Though the device retains its current look, Apple also is working to improve the battery life, according to the people. It’s unclear if that will come from a larger battery, which may be impractical in the Air’s compact chassis, or efficiency gains.

If Apple releases the iPhone Air 2 in spring 2027, it would launch alongside the base model iPhone 18. As a refresher, Apple is splitting the iPhone release schedule starting this year:
Fall 2026: iPhone 18 Pro, iPhone 18 Pro Max, iPhone Fold
Spring 2027: iPhone Air 2, iPhone 18, iPhone 18e
