Apple may have fixes coming for iPhone Air 2 that address two major concerns with the first model: cameras and battery life. Here are the details.<\/p>\n

By all indications, iPhone Air hasn\u2019t been the success Apple was hoping for. Or that, I would argue<\/a>, it deserves to be.<\/p>\n The ultra-thin model surpassed my expectations<\/a> for battery life and durability, and its camera limitations have mostly been non-issues with a few small exceptions<\/a>.<\/p>\n But cameras and battery life still seem to be the biggest concerns prospective buyers have.<\/p>\n And it\u2019s those two areas that Apple appears focused on upgrading with the iPhone Air 2.<\/p>\n We\u2019ve seen several previous reports<\/a> that Apple will add a second camera to the iPhone Air 2, addressing one major piece of consumer feedback.<\/p>\n Now today, a new report from The Elec<\/a> covers an innovation that might address the battery concern too. <\/p>\n Apple is reportedly exploring adding CoE display technology to the iPhone Air 2, which would enable a thinner, brighter display<\/a>. The technology is expected to first debut in this fall\u2019s iPhone Fold<\/a>.<\/p>\n CoE could potentially help Apple create an even thinner iPhone Air 2. But more likely, I suspect any additional internal space freed up by CoE would instead be used to boost battery life.<\/p>\n Most of the current iPhone Air design is dedicated to battery. If Apple can remove one layer from its display components, that space could be repurposed for a bigger battery.<\/p>\n Not only that, but CoE would enable the iPhone Air 2 to appear brighter without additional battery usage. So for the same default brightness level as the current Air, there should be less battery drain.<\/p>\n All of this means Apple may be able to deliver an iPhone Air 2 that addresses the two biggest criticisms of the first model. <\/p>\n Would you buy an iPhone Air 2 with a second rear camera and bigger battery?
