The iPhone Air 2 looks set to launch later this year – and I really wish it wasn’t. Now, don’t get me wrong, I can see the appeal of the iPhone Air. Essentially, you’re getting the familiar iPhone experience, including top-tier performance, within an incredibly thin and light chassis. But, having reviewed the original , it was obvious that the phone needed significant changes. The cameras are badly hamstrung, the speakers are terrible and charging is painfully slow....
