Fresh images claiming to show dummy units of the iPhone Air 2 and iPhone 18 have surfaced online, offering an early glimpse at what Apple may have in store for its spring 2027 lineup.
The photos were posted on Weibo by tipster Smart Pikachu and appear to reveal the physical design of both upcoming devices ahead of their anticipated debut.
Based on the images, the iPhone Air 2 looks set to arrive with a dual-camera system on the back, housed in a body that is reportedly even thinner than the first-generation iPhone Air. Aside from the extra lens, the rear panel styling closely mirrors that of the original model.
Around the front, the device is expected to sport a 6.55-inch OLED screen with a 120Hz refresh rate, along with a more compact Dynamic Island cutout.
Earlier reports have pointed to the iPhone Air 2 packing two 48MP cameras on the rear, wrapped in a premium titanium frame.
As for the standard iPhone 18, its dummy unit suggests Apple is sticking with a familiar look, as the phone appears nearly identical to the iPhone 17 — right down to the rear camera housing.
Under the hood, the iPhone 18 is rumored to carry a 6.3-inch OLED panel, dual 48MP rear cameras, and Apple's next-generation A20 chip.
Buyers may need to brace for higher prices, however, as the standard iPhone 18 is also rumored to get a cost increase in line with the iPhone 18 Pro series. Additionally, Apple is said to be planning a budget-friendly iPhone 18e for the same spring 2027 event.
