Overview
- A Weibo leaker known as Fixed Focus Digital claims Apple plans to unveil the iPhone Air 2 at its September 2026 event.
- The renewed timeline clashes with earlier reporting that suggested the sequel was removed from the 2026 lineup and could slip to spring 2027.
- Rumored changes focus on fixing first‑gen complaints, including a second rear camera, a larger battery, and vapor‑chamber cooling, with a possible lower U.S. starting price.
- The same leak says the lower‑cost iPhone 17e has entered mass production for a spring 2026 debut.
- Outlets caution that the leaker’s track record is mixed and Apple has not confirmed any plans, keeping all dates and details speculative.
