The iPhone Air is definitely a handsome smartphone, however the rumor is that it isn’t been promoting all that properly for Apple. Now a brand new batch of leaks factors in the direction of the upgrades we would see on the iPhone Air 2 mannequin, due someday in 2027.
These leaks come from The Elec (through 9to5Google), and begin with a prediction that the iPhone Air 2 will use CoE (Coloration filter on Encapsulation) tech in its show. That is the identical tech deliberate for the foldable iPhone, and crucially, it will imply a brightness improve.
That is not all: the brighter show is also thinner, and meaning extra room for a much bigger battery for the iPhone Air 2. In our iPhone Air assessment we described battery life as “strong”, so enhancements on this space would definitely be welcome.
If Apple is ready to make the display screen panel thinner, it may additionally make the telephone as a complete thinner, fairly than making the battery greater – however contemplating the iPhone Air is already a mere 5.6 mm entrance to again (beating the Samsung Galaxy S25 Edge), a rise in battery measurement and capability is likely to be a greater concept.
One other digital camera too

Higher battery life and improved cameras would go an extended technique to addressing probably the most notable shortcomings of the iPhone Air, although within the pursuits of steadiness we must always level out that the handset positively has its followers too.
There have been reviews that Samsung has deserted plans to launch a Samsung Galaxy S26 Edge after poor gross sales of the present Edge mannequin – suggesting that shopper demand for super-thin telephones is fairly comfortable.
Nonetheless, Apple seems to be dedicated to a minimum of yet another iPhone Air mannequin. We could have to attend till 2027 to see it, nevertheless: the speak is that Apple is planning a launch schedule shake-up this yr, with the iPhone 18 Professional and Professional Max showing in 2026, and the iPhone 18 and the iPhone Air 2 ready till 2027.
