Overview
- Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman says the next iPhone Air was not planned for 2026, countering reports that Apple postponed the device.
- Gurman expects the sequel to arrive around March 2027, likely alongside an iPhone 18 and a lower-priced iPhone 18e.
- He reports the main upgrade will be a more efficient 2‑nanometer processor aimed at boosting performance and battery life.
- Gurman doubts a second rear camera is likely even though it is technically possible, whereas The Information previously reported plans for a dual‑camera redesign, larger battery, and vapor‑chamber cooling.
- Gurman adds that Apple only expected the first iPhone Air to account for about 6% to 8% of new iPhone sales, casting doubt on claims that disappointing demand drove a schedule change.
