- Expected thickness: 5.2 mm, down from 5.6 mm (about 0.4 mm thinner)

The successor to Apple's iPhone Air is expected to launch in spring 2027, according to Notebookcheck citing leaker yeux1122 on Naver. The rumored name is iPhone Air 2.
Reportedly, the phone will be about 0.4 millimeters thinner, dropping from 5.6 mm to 5.2 mm. At 5.2 mm, it would be exactly as thick as an unfolded iPhone Ultra.
Despite the thinner chassis, Apple is reportedly not compromising on battery. A higher energy density battery is expected to increase capacity, though the exact capacity is not yet known; the current model has a 3,149 mAh battery. Combined with the more efficient Apple A20 Pro, the iPhone Air 2 should deliver noticeably longer battery life.
Earlier rumors say the iPhone Air 2 will get a 48-megapixel ultrawide camera alongside the 48 MP main camera, addressing one of the iPhone Air's biggest weaknesses. The N2 chip for wireless connectivity and the C2 modem are also expected to further improve battery life, and the phone is set to receive the smaller notch of the iPhone 18 Pro.
The article cautions that such early rumors about new iPhones should be treated with caution, as Apple's plans may change before launch.
