The first factory mockups of the future Apple iPhone Air 2 have just appeared online. On the agenda for this highly anticipated new iteration for spring 2027, a thickness reduced even further and, above all, the integration of a second photo sensor to correct one of the main shortcomings of the original model.
The successor to the first iPhone Air, which would logically be due at the beginning of next spring, is already starting to make headlines. As is customary with the Apple company, Chinese suppliers are already at work preparing its manufacturing, inevitably opening the floodgates to industrial leaks. Dummy models of this new device are thus beginning to surface, corroborating previous rumors about the changes it will bring compared with its predecessor.
Apple iPhone Air 2, a welcome second camera sensor
Leaker Lusi Roy on X has thus shared an image of a dummy model of the iPhone Air 2. Machined in CNC aluminum (computer numerical control machining), this mockup, apparently manufactured from the original dimensions of the new device, confirms most of the whispers that were already circulating about it. Starting with the addition of a second camera sensor, thus correcting the main shortcoming of the first iPhone Air, which was limited to a single lens.
Apple iPhone Air 2, the race for thinness continues
This factory model also seems thinner, a piece of information that, once again, was already circulating. The mention of a thickness of 5.2 mm instead of 5.6 mm on the original model is therefore becoming increasingly insistent. That is a slimming of 0.4 mm less for the iPhone Air 2.
Availability of this successor is anticipated for spring 2027, with a suggested price that should remain identical to that of the first model.
Reminder of the key features of the Apple iPhone Air 2 (rumors) :
• Thickness: 5.2 mm (that is, 0.4 mm less than the iPhone Air)
• Camera: dual rear sensor (compared with only one on the previous generation)
