Overview
- The Information reports Apple told engineers and suppliers it has taken the next iPhone Air off the launch schedule without setting a new date.
- The follow-up had been planned for fall 2026 alongside the iPhone 18 Pro, but that timeframe is no longer expected.
- Citing poor sales of the current model, Foxconn has dismantled most iPhone Air lines and expects to halt production by month’s end, while Luxshare ended assembly in October.
- Apple has not canceled the project, and some work continues, with one source indicating a release as early as spring 2027 remains possible.
- Planned upgrades for a second-generation model reportedly included a lighter build, a larger battery, and vapor chamber cooling, with a dual‑camera setup mentioned in a recent supply‑chain rumor.
