Apple is working on a new iPhone Air<\/a> that’s expected to launch in spring 2027, reports Bloomberg<\/a>. The updated \u200ciPhone Air\u200c could get an Ultra Wide lens in addition to the Wide lens to make it a better value for the money.<\/p>\n

An \u200ciPhone Air\u200c with two camera lenses has reached the advanced testing phase. The device has the same design as the current model with the exception of the extra lens.<\/p>\n

Apple also wants to improve battery life, either through an increased battery size or improvements to efficiency. Given that the design of the new model is similar to the current design, there may not be room for a larger battery. The device will use an A20 chip built on Apple’s new 2nm process, so it could feature better efficiency.<\/p>\n

Multiple prior rumors have suggested Apple is adding a second camera to the \u200ciPhone Air\u200c to address the main customer complaint about the device. The current model has a single rear lens with a Wide lens, which makes it inferior to the more affordable iPhone 17<\/a> in terms of camera quality. The \u200ciPhone 17\u200c has a two-camera setup, while the iPhone 17 Pro<\/a> and Pro Max have three cameras.<\/p>\n

The next \u200ciPhone Air\u200c will come out alongside the iPhone 18<\/a> in 2027, with the iPhone 18 Pro<\/a>, \u200ciPhone 18 Pro\u200c Max, and foldable iPhone set to debut in September.<\/p>\n
