Increase of 11 percent
The battery capacity of the second generation of the thinnest iPhone increases significantly – to 3,500 mAh. If you roughly interpolate this data based on Apple’s calculation, an increase of 11 percent would mean an increase from 27 to 30 hours. However, the value should be viewed with caution as the energy requirements of the device are not yet known. It’s unlikely to be less than 30 hours, because the A20 Pro supposedly offers additional efficiency advantages. It is very likely that nothing will change in the basic design or display size. The increase in capacity is supposedly made possible by an even thinner display, which then allows more space inside.
Probably in March/April 2027
The iPhone Air 2 is currently expected for spring 2027, along with the iPhone 18 and the iPhone 18e. The most important improvements that the device offers, in addition to the A20 Pro and more battery life, are a second rear camera. In doing so, Apple is eliminating one of the most noticeable compromises of the first iPhone Air, which, as is well known, had to make do with a single main camera. Bloomberg recently reported that the second module is an ultra-wide-angle camera – and not a telephoto lens. Vapor chamber cooling was also discussed. In terms of price, however, the price will almost certainly go up because the components are more expensive, especially since the iPhone division is already facing price increases.
