Die Nachfrage nach dem iPhone Air scheint geringer zu sein als von Apple erwartet.

Overview

  • Japanese firm Mizuho Securities reports Apple plans to reduce 2025 iPhone Air production by about one million units.
  • Production for iPhone 17, 17 Pro and 17 Pro Max is reportedly being increased by roughly two million units, lifting the full‑year forecast from 88 million to 94 million iPhones.
  • Apple has not confirmed any production changes, and the figures originate from analyst notes cited by outlets including The Elec, BILD and CHIP.de.
  • Retail availability checks indicate the Air is widely in stock in Europe and the U.S., while China saw rapid sellouts at preorder following a delayed launch tied to eSIM readiness.
  • The 5.6 mm iPhone Air prioritizes thinness over features such as an ultra‑wide camera and stereo speakers, though BILD’s lab tests found battery life stronger than expected and some commentators describe the device as a niche experiment.
