Overview
- Weibo leaker Fixed Focus Digital claims the iPhone Air 2 is slated for a fall 2026 debut with very minor changes described as a routine upgrade.
- The Information previously reported Apple pushed the next iPhone Air to 2027 following weak demand for the first model.
- A follow-up from The Information said extra time would be used for a rethink, potentially adding a second rear camera, improved cooling, lighter weight, and a larger battery.
- Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman has said the Air was not tied to a 2026 release and suggested a spring 2027 refresh centered on a 2‑nanometer chip and flexible timing for the line.
- Reports last year indicated Apple sharply cut production of the original iPhone Air, and analyses now cite chip and display roadmaps as factors that could still sway the successor’s timing and scope.
