commended the iPhone Air for its elegant design, but also noted that its battery performance was inferior when placed next to the iPhone 17 models. Additionally, there were criticisms regarding the absence of a secondary main camera on a device priced at $999.
With speculation indicating that Apple could unveil a second-generation iPhone Air in 2026, Weibo tipster Digital Chat Station asserts that the company may address one of its major shortcomings by introducing a second main camera. The leaker mentions that Apple intends to incorporate a 48MP Fusion Ultra Wide camera to complement the existing 48MP Fusion Main camera. What’s intriguing about this rumor is that the company seemingly does not plan to include a plateau like the one seen in the iPhone 17 Pro models, opting instead to maintain the horizontal layout of the Air variant.
