According to people familiar with the matter, prototypes of the new model \u2014 internally code-named <strong>V62<\/strong> \u2014 are already in advanced testing, with a second rear ultrawide camera and improved battery life among the headline additions.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Key_takeaways\"\/>Key takeaways<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"\/><\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li>Apple is targeting <strong>spring 2027<\/strong> for the second-generation iPhone Air, roughly a year and a half after the first model debuted in September 2025.<\/li>\n<li>Prototypes add a <strong>second rear ultrawide camera<\/strong>, directly addressing the single-lens complaint that drew the most customer criticism.<\/li>\n<li>The new Air will run on a variant of the <strong>A20 Pro processor<\/strong>, the same chip powering fall 2026 iPhones.<\/li>\n<li>Apple is shifting to a <strong>staggered release schedule<\/strong>: premium models in fall, with the standard iPhone 18 and the refreshed Air arriving about six months later.<\/li>\n<li>Battery life improvements are in development, though the slim chassis may limit how much gains are achievable.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Apple_Prepares_Second-Generation_iPhone_Air_for_Spring_2027\"\/>Apple Prepares Second-Generation iPhone Air for Spring 2027<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"\/><\/h2>\n<p>The first iPhone Air arrived in <strong>September 2025<\/strong> as part of Apple\u2019s push to grow its $210 billion iPhone business with fresh form factors. Now, less than a year after that launch, the company is already deep into building its successor.<\/p>\n<p>The V62 prototype keeps the slim silhouette that defined the original \u2014 one of the thinnest designs in the smartphone industry \u2014 but pairs it with a more capable camera setup. The addition of a second ultrawide lens targets what has been, by far, the most common complaint about the current $999 model: its single rear camera felt underpowered compared to what rivals and even Apple\u2019s own Pro line offer.<\/p>\n<p>Battery life is the other front Apple is working on. The slim chassis has always made it harder to fit larger cells, so engineers are exploring a combination of efficiency gains and, where possible, physical battery size increases.
