The next-generation Apple iPhone Air could get a second rear camera. <\/p>\n
Sources within Apple\u2019s supply chain claim that Apple is exploring a rear dual-camera setup for the next iPhone Air. The second camera is believed to be a 48MP Fusion Ultra Wide camera that would sit alongside the main camera in the horizontal camera plateau. <\/p>\n
Adding a second camera might not be as straightforward as it seems. To achieve the ultra-slim design, Apple houses several components in the camera plateau to maximise space for the battery. Therefore, Apple would likely need to rethink the internal layout to accommodate the ultra-wide lens.<\/p>\n
The Apple iPhone Air<\/a> has a single rear camera. While the camera\u2019s performance is great, the lack of an ultra-wide option could be a drawback for users who frequently take landscape or group photos, particularly when travelling. <\/p>\n The omission of an ultra-wide lens becomes even more noticeable when compared with the competition. The Samsung Galaxy S25 Edge<\/a> offers a 12MP ultra-wide camera despite being only 0.2mm thicker, while Motorola\u2019s 5.99mm Edge 70<\/a> manages to pack in three rear cameras.<\/p>\n Adding a second rear camera could boost the appeal of the next iPhone Air, as Apple is reportedly struggling to sell the iPhone Air.<\/a> Apple is expected to unveil the next iPhone Air in the second half of 2026<\/a>.<\/p>\n Source: Digital Chat Station<\/a> via MacRumors<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The next-generation Apple iPhone Air could get a second rear camera.
