Multiple outlets report a new rumor that Apple’s upcoming iPhone Air 2 will be thinner than the current iPhone Air while also improving battery life. According to leaks attributed to the Korean Naver blog account “yeux1122,” the iPhone Air 2 is expected to measure around 5.2mm thick—about 0.4mm less than the current iPhone Air at 5.6mm.
Several sources also connect the slimmer design with changes to the battery. GSMArena, MacRumors, and AppleInsider cite expectations that battery capacity and/or battery efficiency will improve versus the predecessor. MacRumors adds a specific earlier claim that the Air 2 battery could be 3,500mAh compared with 3,149mAh in the current model, implying a higher-capacity battery despite the thinner chassis. The thickness is also compared to the iPhone Duo when unfolded, which is reported to be 5.2mm, suggesting the Air 2 could match that measurement.
The reporting remains speculative and presented as rumor; no official Apple specifications are cited across the sources.
