Overview
- Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman reports the second‑generation iPhone Air is expected around March 2027, likely alongside the iPhone 18 and a lower‑end iPhone 18e.
- Apple is said to be moving to staggered launches, with iPhone 18 Pro and Pro Max plus a first foldable model targeted for fall 2026 and mainstream models following in spring 2027.
- Gurman says the main change for the next iPhone Air will be a shift to a more efficient 2‑nanometer A20 processor, which is expected to improve battery life.
- A prior account from The Information tied a postponement to adding a second rear camera and weaker sales, but Gurman disputes that the device was delayed or that a dual‑camera redesign is likely.
- Apple reportedly expected the first iPhone Air to account for about 6%–8% of new iPhone sales, and the model is described as a technology testbed that informs the forthcoming foldable iPhone.
