Do not count on the iPhone Air 2 obtaining an ultra-realities camera

The iPhone air has been available for a week from the publication of this post, and the main complaint that I hear about it talking about the Super Skinny phone is not even that its battery does not last long enough or that it can scratch easily, but that there is only one rear camera. Everyone seems willing to wait for Apple to add an ultra -id objective to the iPhone Air 2 named next year. I would not bet on this. Get the iPhone air now or buy an iPhone 17 or iPhone 17 Pro if you really need an ultra-related camera. I don’t think iPhone air gets a second rear camera so early.
Once you’ve looked like the iPhone in your hand, you will understand why I called it a magic glass sheet in my review. I really feel like I have a screen and nothing more. Its “tray” camera is thicker than the rest of the iPhone air, not only because it shelters the “melting camera” of 48 megapixels, which itself has a goal and an optical stabilization module which requires more circumference, but it is also imprisoned-contributes almost the whole phone, except for the battery.
“To do something as thin, we had to rethink our emblematic set”, CIRE Abidur Chowdhury, an industrial designer for iPhone in AWE Droping’s “AWE Droping” speech. “Stunned on both sides, it is sculpted to adapt to our custom cameras, fleas and modules to measure.”
John Ternus, Apple equipment vice-president, added: “The interior has been advanced with precision for more space, creating space for the rear camera, the front camera, the speaker and even the Apple silicon.”
Do you get it? No? Let me translate this into the normal jargon: there is no place F * Cking to adapt to an ultrairs camera. This image showing everything inside the tray was stuck to replay itself and again in my head when people tell me why they do not receive an iPhone air despite the sensation. There is literally no more space for another sensor and camera objective.

By entering the A19 Pro chip, the N1 wireless connectivity chip, the C1X modem, the speaker, the 18-megapixel central camera and other phone tricks in the tray, the rest of the iPhone air is almost the whole battery. But unless Apple can understand how to reduce the already lowercase components even smaller, there is simply no way that future generations of iPhone air get the camera.

You probably think: but the Samsung Galaxy S25 Edge has two cameras in its own camera tray. Although they can house the cameras, the platae is different. The iPhone Air tray shelters more than its camera sensors; S25 edge only Contains the cameras.

Apple could develop the iPhone air tray, extend it further in the body, but it could not adapt to such a large battery. Now it is possible that Apple can use a silicon carbide battery in the future of the iPhone. These types of batteries have just started to make their way in phones in the past year. They are smaller and thinner, while having as much capacity as ordinary lithium-ion batteries. A silicon carbide battery would allow Apple to reorganize the components of the iPhone air to make room for a second camera sensor, but this would also come with a decrease potential: thermal. In the first generation iPhone air, the A19 PRO is inside the tray, which keeps heat from the back. There is no vapor room as in the pros of the iPhone 17 to prevent the chip from frying an egg when it is pushed hard.
The tray is even more a “pragmatic optimization”, as I said once about the iPhone 6 camera bump, which now seems harmless compared to iPhone Air mounds and iPhone 17. Even with so many apple design veterinarians who have defeated in Lovefrom de Jony Ive or simply retired, Apple is worth 3 Billions of Dollars and Engineers. It can rethink the iPhone air to adapt to an ultrairs camera if it really wants it, but it probably won’t do it. It is easier to sell “pro” iPhones with additional camera lenses. So don’t sleep on the iPhone air if you hold for the additional goal. You will just be disappointed when it will not happen.
