Apple’s next iPhone launch may look a little different from what we are used to. Instead of introducing its entire iPhone lineup together, the company is reportedly planning a staggered launch schedule, with the standard iPhone 18 and iPhone Air 2 expected to arrive in spring 2027.

While we have already come across several rumours about these smartphones, new images of some dummy units have now surfaced online, giving us a closer look at their possible designs. Let us break it down.

Apple iPhone Air 2 dummy unit shows a dual rear camera setup

Images and videos of the alleged iPhone Air 2 dummy unit have surfaced online through different tipsters. One video shared by X user Lusi Roy shows what appear to be CNC-machined metal models of the iPhone Air 2 and iPhone 18.

Meanwhile, tipster Smart Pikachu also shared images of the two dummy units on Weibo.

As can be seen in the leaked images, the iPhone Air 2 could retain the slim design of the original iPhone Air, with the overall rear layout looking familiar. However, the biggest visible change is the addition of a second rear camera. The camera module appears to have a thicker, more pronounced bump, with additional cutouts that could accommodate the LED flash and microphone.

Previous leaks also suggested that the phone could feature two 48MP rear cameras, including a primary and an ultrawide sensor. This would be a notable change from the original iPhone Air, which comes equipped with a single rear camera.

The dummy units images also suggest that Apple could retain the button and port placements of the current model. On the front, the iPhone Air 2 is tipped to feature a smaller Dynamic Island, along with a 6.55-inch OLED display supporting a 120Hz refresh rate. The phone could also get an anti-reflective coating and a titanium frame.

iPhone 18 could retain the iPhone 17’s camera design

Unlike the iPhone Air 2, the standard iPhone 18 does not appear to be getting a major exterior redesign. The leaked dummy unit shows a rear camera module that looks similar to the one on the iPhone 17, rather than the larger camera bump seen on Apple’s Pro models.

The phone is expected to feature a 6.3-inch OLED display with a 120Hz refresh rate. Its rear camera setup could include two 48MP sensors, comprising a primary and an ultrawide camera.

Another reported change could be under the hood. The iPhone 18 is tipped to feature Apple’s A20 chipset, paired with the company’s C2 modem. It could also get a larger 4,430mAh battery and support 40W wired charging, along with MagSafe wireless charging.

iPhone Air 2 and iPhone 18 specifications, price leaked

According to tipster Sanju Choudhary, the iPhone Air 2 could be priced at $1,099 (approximately Rs 1,03,000). As mentioned already, it is expected to feature Apple’s A20 Pro chipset and C2 modem, alongside a 3,500mAh battery. The phone could also get a 6.55-inch ProMotion display with an anti-reflective coating.

The standard iPhone 18, meanwhile, could start at $999 (approximately Rs 93,000). It is expected to feature the A20 chipset, a 6.3-inch ProMotion display and a 4,430mAh battery. Both smartphones are also tipped to feature dual 48MP rear cameras.

Now before you get too excited, do remember that these are all rumours for now and Apple hasn’t announced the devices yet. So, it is best to take this information with a pinch of salt. Keep watching this space for more such updates.
