A second act, six months late.<\/p>\n

Apple is preparing a second-generation iPhone Air that could arrive in spring 2027, according to Bloomberg\u2019s Mark Gurman.<\/p>\n

The device is reportedly in advanced testing and is expected to keep the same ultra-thin design while\u00a0addressing two of the biggest criticisms\u00a0of the current model: its camera system and battery life.<\/p>\n

The new device is said to carry the internal codename V62 and could add a second rear camera for ultrawide photography. That would mark a notable change for the Air lineup, which currently relies on a single rear lens.<\/p>\n

Bloomberg reported\u00a0that the extra camera is among the major upgrades Apple is considering as it looks to make the slim handset more appealing to buyers.<\/p>\n

Camera complaints appear to be driving the changes<\/h2>\n

The first iPhone Air\u00a0debuted in September 2025 with a thin design that helped it stand out from the rest of Apple\u2019s smartphone lineup. But the trade-off for that slimmer chassis was a simpler camera setup.<\/p>\n

According to Bloomberg, Apple views the camera system as one of the biggest areas for improvement. The report says the limited capabilities of the current single-lens setup have generated the most customer complaints. The extra camera is expected to be an Ultra Wide lens that would sit alongside the existing Wide camera.<\/p>\n

That would bring the Air closer to\u00a0Apple\u2019s standard iPhone models, which already offer dual-camera systems. The new model is otherwise expected to look much like the current version.<\/p>\n

Battery life could improve too<\/h2>\n

Apple is also exploring ways to improve battery life, according to Bloomberg. Exactly how the company plans to achieve that remains unclear. One option is a larger battery, though fitting a bigger cell inside the Air\u2019s compact frame could prove difficult.<\/p>\n

Another possibility is improved power efficiency. Bloomberg reports that the updated Air will use a version of the A20 Pro processor, the same chip expected to power\u00a0this fall\u2019s iPhone lineup, which…<\/p>\n
