Karachi (Web Desk) Apple’s upcoming smartphones, the iPhone Air 2 and standard iPhone 18, have come under the spotlight following the emergence of new details about their possible designs and features. Images and a video shared on social media platform X show dummy models of both phones, offering an indication of their exterior designs and expected changes. However, Apple has not yet officially released details about these devices.
Images shared on X show metal dummy models of both phones, with designs that are consistent with previously reported information. The iPhone Air 2 dummy suggests that Apple intends to keep the device extremely slim, like its predecessor. No major changes are expected to the front display, although the rear camera system could be new.
The first iPhone Air featured only a single 48-megapixel rear camera. However, according to new reports, the iPhone Air 2 could include two cameras. Its main camera is expected to remain 48 megapixels, while it may be accompanied by a 48-megapixel ultra-wide camera. In addition, the camera module is expected to be slightly thicker than before.
The new phone is also expected to feature an improved battery. The first iPhone Air was equipped with a 3,149mAh battery, while reports suggest that the new model will have a higher-capacity battery. An earlier report claimed that the iPhone Air 2 would use Apple's A20-series chipset, which is also expected to be included in the iPhone 18 Pro models and iPhone Duo. If these details prove accurate, the new Air model will be more powerful than last year's phone, which featured the A19 Pro processor.
Meanwhile, the dummy model of the iPhone 18 suggests that its overall design will not be significantly different from the iPhone 17. According to various reports, the phone could also feature the A20 chipset and Apple's C2 modem. Its starting price is expected to be $899, which would be $100 higher than the starting price of the iPhone 17.
The standard iPhone model holds particular importance for Apple, as the iPhone 17 is currently being described as the world's best-selling phone.
It is worth noting that Apple has changed its usual iPhone launch schedule in 2026. The company has already unveiled the iPhone 18 Pro, iPhone 18 Pro Max and its first foldable phone, the iPhone Duo, in September 2026. The iPhone Air 2 and standard iPhone 18 are now expected to be introduced in March or April 2027.
