Summary

  • A new leak from Early Apple Leaks on X shows Apple’s rumored iPhone Air 2 in a near-final design, keeping the ultra-thin look of the original Air while adding a second rear camera.
  • The reported upgrade path is mostly internal: the phone is expected to use an A20 chip and a bigger battery, while retaining a 6.5-inch screen, roughly 5.4mm thickness, and glass-and-aluminum build.
  • Images in the leak also point to minimal bezels, a top camera plateau and a Camera Control button, with the source saying the design is being tested in Apple labs and is 'likely final.'
  • Apple is expected to unveil the iPhone Air 2 in spring 2027 alongside the iPhone 18 and iPhone 18e, after the iPhone 18 Pro, Pro Max and iPhone Fold arrive in September.
