The follow-up to 2025\u2019s iPhone Air may very well be Apple\u2019s thinnest iPhone ever (again). Korean blogger \u201cyeux1122\u201d claims<\/a> (machine translated) that the iPhone Air 2 will be about 5.2mm thick, a 0.4mm reduction in size from the original iPhone Air<\/a>. This size would put it on par with the iPhone Duo\u2019s<\/a> thickness when it\u2019s unfolded.<\/p>\n

That 7% reduction in thickness might not seem like much, but even minute changes like this are evident in a phone\u2019s hand-feel, especially when you\u2019re buying a smartphone whose entire reason for existence is how skinny it is. For reference, the iPhone 18 Pro<\/a> is 8.75mm thick.<\/p>\n

We\u2019ll have to wait a bit longer to find out whether or not the iPhone Air 2 is actually as thin as the unfolded iPhone Duo; it\u2019s not expected to launch until early next year. It\u2019ll most likely be released alongside the base iPhone 18 model (which was notably missing from this year\u2019s Apple Event<\/a>) and, perhaps, a budget iPhone 18e.<\/p>\n

Other details of what we might expect from the iPhone Air 2 are pretty scarce, though we do have some rumors to work off of. Well-known leaker Jon Prosser dropped a video back in July<\/a> that claimed the iPhone Air 2 would include both a 48-megapixel ultrawide camera and a regular-lens 48-megapixel camera. This alone would be a marked upgrade from the first iPhone Air, which only included a single camera. Prosser says Apple will redesign the iPhone Air 2\u2019s Face ID camera to fit this extra lens in.<\/p>\n

Battery life is also expected to be better on the next-gen iPhone Air. Prosser says the smartphone will utilize an A20 Pro chip for better efficiency, leading to improved battery life that\u2019s \u201cnothing dramatic, but definitely noticeable.\u201d Another leak<\/a> soon after Prosser\u2019s posited that the iPhone Air 2 will have a 3,500mAh battery, an 11% increase in capacity from the original Air\u2019s 3,149mAh battery.<\/p>\n

Prosser also expects the iPhone Air 2 to use the same titanium midframe as the original, with an updated lavender color<\/a> replacing the current Sky Blue variety. A big remaining question here is price: will it launch at an increased $100 MSRP like most other iPhones are<\/a>, now? Let\u2019s just say it seems very much within the realm of possibility.<\/p>\n
