After the Galaxy S25 Edge reportedly recorded disappointing sales, Samsung canceled the Galaxy S26 Edge and replaced it with the Galaxy S26+. Next year, Samsung also appears to have no plans to launch a Galaxy S27 Edge. Apple, however, seems to be moving forward with the development of the iPhone Air 2 for 2027.
According to a new report from Bloomberg, Apple is developing the iPhone Air 2 for a spring 2027 launch. Based on the reported information, the iPhone Air 2 could feature a second rear camera, an A20-series processor, and longer battery life compared to the iPhone Air.
The iPhone Air has a single 48MP rear-facing camera, so the addition of a second camera would be a major upgrade. Based on Apple’s track record, it could be a 48MP ultrawide camera, similar to the one used in the iPhone 17. It is unclear whether the reported battery life improvement will come from a larger battery, a more efficient processor, or a combination of both.
Samsung is reportedly planning to launch a Galaxy S Pro model alongside the Galaxy S27 series early next year. The Galaxy S27 Pro is rumored to feature a 6.5-inch 120Hz OLED screen with Privacy Display, a triple-camera setup that includes a telephoto camera, a Snapdragon processor, and a 5,000mAh battery. It is also rumored to omit the S Pen.
