Samsung ditched slim phones, but Apple’s pushing ahead with a second-gen iPhone Air—placeholder name for now. Leak popped on Weibo November 7, 2025, showing a mockup. Dual cameras on back. Image went viral from Digital Chat Station’s post. He called it iPhone 18 Air, but that’s guesswork. Too early for official labels. Key bit: two lenses, both 48MP—one main, one ultrawide. Fits Apple’s no-fuss approach. Skeptical though; pic might not match real thing.
Mockup skips details on camera island hardware. First Air hit 5.65mm thin by cramming stuff smart. Dual setup could work next year. Horizontal bar might stay. Wait for more leaks to confirm.
Screen? Leak says 6.5 inches, 120Hz smooth refresh—updates fast for no stutter. 3D Face ID notch up top, same as before. Display unchanged.
Chips in works: A20 and A20 Pro for iPhone 18 line. One could land in this Air 2. Pattern suggests A20 Pro—beefier for mid-tier. Early days; project might flop. First Air didn’t spark much hype for thin designs. Temper expectations. More info when it drops. Stay tuned.
What the Mockup Looks Like
Pic shows slim body, cameras side by side horizontal. No third lens like Pro models. Frame thin, buttons on side. Back glass maybe, Apple logo centered. Front all screen with small notch. Colors? Not shown—leak’s black and white sketch. Remember my buddy tried the first Air; felt light but slipped easy. This could be similar.
Camera Details From Leak
Two 48MP sensors. Main grabs sharp pics, handles low light okay with Apple’s processing. Ultrawide fits wide shots, less fish-eye warp than cheap phones. No telephoto—zoom digital, gets grainy past 2x. Videos 4K 60fps likely, stable from software. Why dual? Cuts cost for slim build—less space for extras.
Inside Power
A20 Pro chip rumored—3nm process, efficient, less heat. Eight cores or so, top speed around 3.5GHz. GPU for games, Neural Engine for AI tricks like photo edits. RAM 8GB probably, storage from 128GB up. Battery small due to thinness—maybe 3000mAh, fast charge 45W. Runs iOS 19 beta? Too soon.
Project’s iffy. First Air sold okay in China, flop elsewhere. Apple might bail if tests suck. Leaks from Weibo often hit or miss—last one nailed iPhone 16 colors. This? Jury out.
