Apple delaying second-generation iPhone Air, report claims
Fall 2026 was the planned drop date for the second generation of the super thin iPhone Air, but the wait will likely be longer, according to a report from The Information (via The Verge).
Unimpressive sales of the iPhone Air — which debuted in September as the thinnest iPhone ever — are to blame for the delay, the report claims. Spring 2027 may be more realistic, when Apple plans to release the iPhone 18 and 18E.
The iPhone Air currently features the powerful A19 Pro chip, along with a 6.5-inch ProMotion display and a titanium frame. The second-generation iPhone Air is expected to be thinner, feature a stronger battery, and possibly include a vapor chamber.
