iPhone Air 2 once again rumored to gain a second rear camera, maybe even a lower price

"An intriguing new rumor today confirms that there will be an iPhone Air 2 (even though it may only arrive in spring 2027), and it will add a second camera. This was first rumored last month, and it's nice to get a 'confirmation' of sorts (as much as any rumor can count as that). While today's report doesn't mention what the second camera will be, the rumor from November did - an ultrawide."

"That kind of makes sense since the main camera can crop zoom to 2x with decent results, but there's no way for it to simulate a wider field of view. The iPhone Air 2 is also said to be cheaper than its predecessor in the US, which would be quite shocking - first of all, because phones have only become more and more expensive over the years, never cheaper;"

An iPhone Air 2 could arrive in spring 2027 and will add a second rear camera, likely an ultrawide to provide a wider field of view that the main camera cannot simulate. The main camera can crop to about 2x with decent results but cannot achieve true ultrawide framing. The iPhone Air 2 could be priced lower in the US, potentially starting at $899 versus the current $999 base, which would be unusual given rising phone prices and Apple's margin focus. A larger battery and the second camera could increase the model's appeal over its predecessor.
