Details about the second-generation iPhone Air have surfaced again ahead of its expected launch in spring 2027. According to GSMArena.com, the iPhone Air 2 is expected to arrive alongside the iPhone 18 and iPhone 18e. The information remains a leak, so neither the specifications nor the launch schedule should be considered an official announcement.
120Hz OLED Display
GSMArena.com reports that leaker Digital Chat Station shared several upgrades expected for the iPhone Air 2. One highlighted feature is a flat 6.55-inch OLED display with a standard aspect ratio.
The panel is said to offer a 120Hz refresh rate and 1.5K+ resolution. If this information is accurate, the high-refresh-rate display will be one of the device's key specifications. However, the leak does not provide further details about the panel technology or additional display features.
A20 Chip and Connectivity
For performance, the iPhone Air 2 will reportedly use an A20-series chipset built on a 2-nanometer process. According to the same report, the chip was introduced alongside the iPhone 18 Pro series and iPhone Duo. The leak provides no details about its configuration, graphics capabilities, or comparative performance.
Other leaks summarized by GSMArena.com also mention the use of the latest N2 wireless chipset and a C2 modem. The information does not explain what connectivity improvements these components might offer over the previous generation.
Two 48MP Cameras
Another major change is said to involve the rear camera system. The iPhone Air 2 is rumored to feature two cameras: a 48MP wide-angle main camera and a 48MP ultrawide camera. This setup aligns with earlier rumors pointing to a dual rear-camera system.
Although the resolution of both sensors has been mentioned, the report does not include information about sensor size, lens aperture, zoom capabilities, stabilization, or video recording features. As a result, the camera's actual performance cannot yet be assessed based solely on the leaked resolutions.
Slim Body and Larger Battery
The iPhone Air 2 is also expected to retain a design approach similar to that of the first iPhone Air. It is rumored to measure 5.2 millimeters thick, in keeping with the device's emphasis on a slim body. Earlier rumors also suggested that the new-generation design would be made even slimmer.
Despite the slim design, the battery capacity is reportedly set to increase compared with its predecessor. An earlier rumor estimated a capacity of around 3,500 mAh or higher. The exact figure and its effect on battery life have not been explained. All these details still await official confirmation ahead of the expected launch in spring 2027.
