Apple is expected to release the iPhone Air 2 in early 2027, with several key improvements over the first model. In a new investor note seen today by 9to5Mac, analyst Jeff Pu has the full rundown on what features and changes to expect from the iPhone Air 2 …

iPhone Air 2: New features coming soon

According to Pu, the iPhone Air 2 will feature the same 6.55-inch screen as the current model. However, it will reportedly have a smaller Dynamic Island, which could give users slightly more screen real estate.

Pu also corroborates other rumors and says that the iPhone Air 2 will have two cameras. This will include the same 48MP Main camera as the current model, as well as an all-new 48MP Ultra Wide lens.

Other specs for the iPhone Air 2 highlighted by Pu today include:

A20 Pro chip built on TSMC’s 2-nanometer process with Wafer-Level Multi-Chip Module (WMCM) packaging
12GB of RAM (unchanged)
Titanium frame
Apple’s C2 modem (up from the original iPhone Air’s C1X)

For the A20 chip, the new 2-nanometer fabrication technology will enable Apple to offer better performance and efficiency in a similar-sized footprint. WMCM, meanwhile, is a technology that integrates the chip and DRAM at the wafer level for better performance and power consumption.

Apple will reportedly announce the iPhone Air 2 in the first quarter of 2026 alongside the new base model iPhone 18. The iPhone 18 Pro and iPhone Fold are expected to be announced this September.
