iPhone Air 2 Could Get A Hardware Downgrade That Will Seal The Fate For Apple’s Sleek Flagship Future Forever
Wccftech • • technology
Key Points:
- The iPhone Air 2 is rumored to feature a dual 48MP rear camera setup but may come with a hardware downgrade by using the standard A20 chip instead of the more advanced A20 Pro.
- This downgrade contrasts with previous models where a binned Pro chip was used, potentially reflecting Apple's need to reduce costs amid rising storage and RAM expenses.
- Despite sharing the same SoC and possibly RAM as the base iPhone 18, the iPhone Air 2 is expected to be priced significantly higher, raising questions about its market positioning.
- The rumored downgrade and high price could signal the decline of Apple's slim flagship lineup, with the iPhone Air 2 possibly seeing limited production to avoid unsold inventory.
- There is speculation that Apple might return to larger "Plus" variants in 2028, moving away from the slim flagship design.
