Apple is reportedly developing a second-generation iPhone Air, addressing limitations of the current model. Initial reports suggested a delay or cancellation due to lower-than-expected sales, but subsequent information indicates the iPhone Air 2 is still in development.

Key anticipated features include a second rear camera, likely an ultra-wide lens, aligning it with base model iPhones. The device is expected to feature the A20 Pro chip, Apple's first 2-nanometer processor, promising improved power and efficiency. A 3,500mAh battery is rumored, an increase from the first-generation model, potentially offering better battery life alongside the new chip.

Furthermore, the iPhone Air 2 may incorporate a vapor chamber cooling system, similar to the iPhone 17 Pro, for sustained high performance. While originally anticipated for a September 2026 release, recent reports suggest a spring 2027 launch alongside the new base model iPhone 18.
