iPhone Air 2 Could Still Launch Next Year

[we8me]

I ended up returning my Air because I didn't like it. I thought it would be more portable like the iPhone 13, but it's still too big. I don't need the large screen because if I do, I use my iPad. I use my phone mostly for maps, taking photos, texting and email. A larger screen doesn't matter to me. I just scroll one handed if I need to see more of the email. Apple, please give us a small lightweight phone! That's the vision Steve had, and you've lost that vision.

Agree...all Air customers prefers second speakers and if there is even better battery life instead of second camera, even better

All Air Customers: The few, the proud, the ripped off.

If you listen to these guys on the forum, you'd think the Air was the best selling iPhone in history. They have no clue about mainstream features.

If it were the entry level model and not a mid-range more premium tier - sure - it would be a great device. I just don't get how anyone would discern spending more for less all around was a wise when the whole phone isn't "slim" so it solves little. If one more iPhone Air person complains about 1 speak so help me - we've been here before with iPhones. You knew what you bought. Enjoy mono.

Just out of curiosity, why don’t you just use headphones? Surely you’d want that when on walks with Zoom calls anyway right?

In fairness, not everyone has headphone on them all the time or when you are sitting at home, why?

But above comment - no sympathies given to people that bought it.

I don’t mean all the time, just the use cases they were referring to on their comment. Plus, if they really liked the phone, that would have resolved the issue they refer too. Generally even with any phone for their Zoom calls they do outside walking I’d imagine that would just be a standard thing to do using headphones, no?

I couldn't agree more!

This rumor is just a wish list of features that isn't feasible in the current iPhone air form factor. There's only two possible changes.

1) Swap over to a silicon carbon battery for a larger capacity
2) Remove USB-C plug for a second speaker

All other talk about a second camera or larger battery etc. are just wishful thinking. There's literally no space in the phone for those items. You have to give something to get something.

I’d love it if it was iPhone Mini-sized.
