Apple is reportedly working on a camera and battery upgrade for its upcoming iPhone Air 2 . This comes after the company’s first model of ultra-thin and lightweight device, the iPhone Air, received mixed feedback from users. Yes, the device indeed received praise for its durability and design, but it also received criticism for major compromises in terms of cameras and battery.
The upcoming iPhone Air 2 will finally bring the awaited battery upgrades
The original iPhone Air was popular globally for its ultra-thin design. Despite the smaller battery capacity, many users explained the backup to be better than expected. However, it performed poorly when placed alongside other flagships. Moreover, a single rear camera and other hardware compromises, such as a mono speaker, made buyers feel the device was limited.
Thankfully, Apple seems to be listening to the feedback and is working on a solution for the next iPhone Air 2 . New rumors and leaks suggest that the iPhone Air 2 will feature a dual rear camera setup. Whether the secondary camera will be an ultrawide or telephoto remains unknown. We speculate that it would be an ultrawide lens since it’s not an easy task to fit a telephoto lens in a slim smartphone.
No more compromises on camera performance and battery life
The Elec reports that Apple is considering changes inside the phone that could boost its battery performance. Further, the company is exploring internal changes and is planning to preserve the design of the original model. One possible upgrade that the iPhone Air 2 may carry is known as chip on encapsulation.
The new internal design allows the screen to be thinner and brighter while also using less power. If Apple adopts this for the iPhone Air 2, it could free up space inside the phone. Subsequently, the free space may be used for an extra battery or hardware improvements. A slightly bigger battery combined with an efficient and powerful display could deliver a clear battery backup upgrade.
