Apple is trying its hand at the iPhone Air 2 in an attempt to appease a small percentage of consumers who love the idea of a sleek flagship, but without the compromises that exist in the iPhone Air. Fortunately, a new video highlights key features of the upcoming handset, including a second camera that can only be accommodated thanks to a shrunken Face ID module, not to mention using the A20 Pro instead of the A20 that was previously rumored.
Additional features could make the iPhone Air 2 even more popular than its predecessor, but pricing will play a paramount role
Sticking with the same titanium alloy chassis as the iPhone Air, Jon Prosser summarizes various features arriving to the iPhone Air 2 in the latest fpt video. The main 48MP camera will be supplemented by another 48MP ultrawide-angle unit to improve photography and videography. Given that the entire logic board is present in the iPhone Air’s camera plateau, Apple will resort to clever engineering to add a second sensor.
This includes reducing the size of Face ID, making enough room so the second camera can be added. However, there’s no telling what trade-offs Apple will make to the sensor size, since it’s working with negligible internal volume, so we’ll have to wait and see whether a smaller physical camera with a reduced aperture is part of the package.
The inclusion of the A20 Pro has us somewhat relieved because it means Apple will offer top-end specifications at a premium price instead of incorporating a slower SoC. Thanks to the new WMCM (Wafer-Level Multi-Chip Module) packaging, where the DRAM is kept separate from the chipset, the iPhone Air 2 could deliver better thermal performance while maintaining that slimmer chassis.
The use of a 2nm silicon will also bring better battery life, but Prosser hasn’t shared the…
