Apple will launch a second generation iPhone Air with an 11% battery capacity boost next year, the leaker known as “Digital Chat Station” says in an X post — as noted by MacRumors.
He/she adds that it’s expected to feature a 3,500mAh battery. That’s up from the 3,149mAh battery in the current iPhone Air.
Previously, the leaker known as “Instant Digital” has said Apple has requested an “ultra-thin” Face ID component from suppliers that will allow second gen of the thinnest-ever iPhone to accommodate an ultra wide-angle lens in addition to the existing single main lens.
A redesign that includes a second camera is said to be one way that Apple thinks it can address user complaints that the iPhone Air, while an impressive design feat, has led to too many hardware compromises, especially given the US$999 price tag.
Though there is work on a second generation iPhone Air, the rumor mill says Apple hasn’t yet committed to a third generation of the smartphone.
