Overview
- The Information reports Apple told engineers and suppliers the next iPhone Air was taken off the schedule with no new release date.
- Foxconn has dismantled most iPhone Air lines and expects to halt output by month’s end, while Luxshare ended production in October, according to the same report.
- Weak uptake of the ultra‑thin model is cited as the driver, with CIRP data showing the Air at about 3% of September iPhone sales versus higher shares for Pro models.
- Coverage indicates Apple’s fall 2026 lineup will center on iPhone 18 Pro, 18 Pro Max and a foldable, with iPhone 18 and 18e targeted for spring 2027.
- The project is not described as fully canceled, and reporting points to limited ongoing work on a possible Air 2 with a larger battery, vapor‑chamber cooling and dual rear cameras, though timing remains uncertain.
