Multiple outlets report that Apple’s next “iPhone Air” model, iPhone Air 2, is expected to launch in early 2027, with analyst Jeff Pu citing a release in the first quarter. According to Pu’s investor note discussed by MacRumors and 9to5Mac, iPhone Air 2 would introduce five notable changes versus the current iPhone Air. These include adding a second 48-megapixel rear camera with an Ultra Wide lens to complement the existing Fusion lens, and shrinking the Dynamic Island. The report also points to new chip upgrades: a faster, more power-efficient A20 Pro built on TSMC’s advanced 2nm process (replacing the current model’s 3nm A19 Pro), a second-generation N2 wireless networking chip, and a second-generation C2 5G modem chip. The outlets also say Pu expects iPhone Air 2 to retain certain specs such as a 6.5-inch display, 12GB of RAM, and an 18-megapixel Center Stage front camera. MacRumors further suggests the iPhone Air 2 may be part of a March 2027 lineup that includes other iPhone 18 variants.
