New Leak Revives Fall 2026 Timeline for iPhone Air 2

Apple has not confirmed the device, leaving conflicting timelines over its return.

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.
