To recall, earlier reports indicated that all the iPhone 18 models will get a smaller Dynamic Island. Nevertheless, the new leak indicates that this change will be limited to the iPhone 18 Pro and Pro Max. Reportedly, there will be minor tweaks to the phone’s dimensions, but they will not be noticeable in daily use.

This time, Apple’s main focus will be on performance and internal upgrades, rather than on design changes for the base iPhone 18.

iPhone Air 2 Release Timeline

Apple is also working on the reported iPhone Air 2, but there have been some debates about its release. According to previous reports, the device is expected to arrive in 2027. As for optics, it might include a second rear camera. As per Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman, there could be a spring 2027 release of this device, but he was doubtful about the second camera.

However, reports from Fixed Focus Digital are something different. According to him, the iPhone Air 2 will follow the standard update cycle and could launch this year. The iPhone Air 2 will have a routine upgrade, although there will be no major design changes or additional cameras.

If these reports are accurate, then we could see the four models this year, including iPhone 18 Pro, iPhone 18 Pro Max, iPhone Fold, and iPhone Air 2.

iPhone Air 2 Expected Features

The expected changes for iPhone Air 2 are likely internal. It could include a new A20 Pro chip or other performance upgrades. As per rumors, the device could also launch in fall 2026. Interestingly, this timeline matches the company’s usual release of multiple iPhones timeline.
