Overview
- Multiple outlets report Apple is redesigning the ultra‑thin Air after poor sales led suppliers to scale back or halt production of the first model.
- The Air 2 is said to gain a second rear camera, likely an Ultra Wide lens to complement the 48MP main sensor’s 2x crop zoom.
- Apple is reportedly weighing a lower entry price than the current iPhone Air’s $999 starting point in the U.S.
- Coverage points to a spring 2027 release window, with trial builds prepared by Luxshare in Kunshan as early as March 2026.
- Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman has tied the timing to A20 chip availability using TSMC’s 2nm process with WMCM packaging, a factor still unconfirmed by Apple.
