Overview
- A Weibo post from leaker Fixed Focus Digital claims Apple will unveil the iPhone Air 2 at its fall 2026 iPhone event.
- Earlier reporting from The Information said Apple removed the sequel from its 2026 schedule, with some engineers targeting a redesigned model for spring 2027.
- Rumored changes focus on fixes to the first Air’s shortcomings, including a dual rear camera, a larger battery, improved cooling, and a lighter build.
- Some reports say Apple is considering a lower U.S. launch price than the original iPhone Air, a notable shift that remains unconfirmed.
- The leaker’s track record is mixed and Apple has made no public comment; the same post also claims an iPhone 17e is in mass production for a spring 2026 debut, which has not been corroborated.
