Apple Readies iPhone Air 2 With Dual 48MP Cameras as Smaller Face ID Frees Space

3 articles · Updated · Wccftech · Jul 3

Summary

  • A new video says Apple’s iPhone Air 2 will add a second 48MP ultrawide camera, pairing it with a 48MP main sensor in a slimmer flagship design.
  • That dual-camera setup is reportedly enabled by a shrunken Face ID module, a space-saving change needed because the phone’s thin chassis leaves little internal room.
  • Apple is also said to be using an A20 Pro chip—not the previously rumored A20—while keeping the titanium alloy chassis from the first iPhone Air.
  • The A20 Pro could use 2nm silicon and WMCM packaging, changes expected to improve thermals and battery life as Apple tries to deliver a sleek model with fewer compromises.
