Multiple outlets report that Apple is working on a second-generation iPhone Air expected to launch in spring 2027. The device is described as an iPhone Air successor, sometimes referred to as “iPhone Air 2,” and is linked to internal development code-named V62. Reporting indicates the main change under consideration is a second rear camera that would add an ultrawide-angle lens alongside the existing wide-angle lens, bringing the model closer to the camera capability of more expensive iPhone tiers.
Some sources also say Apple is targeting improvements beyond the camera module. Digital Trends and AppleInsider News mention potential battery life enhancements, with MacRumors adding specific speculation that the phone could use an A20 chip built on Apple’s new 2nm process to improve efficiency. MacRumors further notes that the new model appears to keep the current iPhone Air design, with the extra lens being the most visible hardware change.
The outlets generally align on a spring 2027 launch window and frame the update as an incremental upgrade rather than a major redesign.
