Apple plans a spring 2027 debut for the iPhone Air 2 with a 6.55-inch 120Hz LTPO OLED display, a 2nm A20 processor, and a dual 48-megapixel camera system to address earlier battery and photographic limits.
Apple Sets Spring 2027 Launch Window For New iPhone Air 2
Chinese leaker Digital Chat Station published details on Weibo showing that Apple has scheduled the successor to its ultra-thin smartphone for release in the spring of 2027. The device is expected to arrive alongside the standard iPhone 18 and the iPhone 18e, placing it on a release schedule separate from the higher-end iPhone 18 Pro series.
Unconfirmed reports for the budget-focused iPhone 18e suggest it may retain a traditional 60Hz refresh rate on a 6.12-inch LTPS OLED panel, alongside a 48MP main camera and a 24MP front-facing camera.
New Display Supports 120Hz Refresh Rate
Unlike the conventional 60Hz panels rumored for lower-tier variants in the same product cycle, this screen supports a high refresh rate of up to 120Hz. The integration of LTPO technology allows the display to adjust its refresh rate dynamically based on onscreen content.
A20 Processor Uses 2nm Process
Under the hood, the device is tipped to adopt an Apple A20-series processor manufactured using a 2nm process.
Additional internal hardware leaks point to the inclusion of the N2 wireless chipset alongside the C2 modem, marking a cohesive hardware refresh for Apple’s upcoming mobile ecosystem.
