In his latest Power On newsletter, Gurman reported that the iPhone Air 2 is expected around March 2027, likely alongside the standard iPhone 18 and a lower-end iPhone 18e.
Later in September, Apple is set to mark the iPhone’s 20th anniversary with a new device, which may feature a curved glass display and a front camera hidden beneath the screen.
The spring launch of the iPhone Air 2 could include several upgrades, such as a larger battery, a lighter design, and a cooling system similar to that in the iPhone 17 Pro models. Some engineers are reportedly considering adding a second rear camera.
While an ultra-wide camera is technically feasible, it may be an unusual choice given the device’s already packed feature set.
Nevertheless, these enhancements are expected to make the Air model more appealing and boost demand.
The iPhone Air 2 is also rumored to feature a 2nm chip, promising faster performance and improved battery life.
Gurman emphasized that the release of the iPhone Air 2 was always intended for 2027, rather than being a delay.
Apple initially marketed the iPhone Air as a niche device, representing only six to eight percent of total iPhone sales.
While it’s unclear whether the first model met expectations, the company appears ready to continue the line with the second generation.
Alongside the Air model, Apple is also expected to release its usual fall lineup in 2026, including the iPhone 18, iPhone 18 Pro Max, and a foldable iPhone. The spring 2027 releases would then expand the line with the iPhone 18, 18e, and the anticipated iPhone Air 2.
With these plans, Apple seems set to blend tradition with experimentation, offering fans both its standard flagship devices and new innovations marking the iPhone’s two-decade milestone.
