Apple is no longer planning to launch a second-generation iPhone Air next fall and has “already sharply scaled back production of the first version,” The Information reports. The company launched the super-thin version of the iPhone in September, but it seemingly hasn’t proven to be a big hit, and Apple is now making some changes about its future.
The Information says that the company was aiming to announce a new iPhone Air next fall that would be lighter and have more battery capacity than this year’s model. The new phone would also have gotten a vapor chamber, like the iPhone 17 Pro lineup this year.
But with no second-generation iPhone Air, Apple’s fall 2026 iPhone lineup will apparently consist of the iPhone 18 Pro and its foldable iPhone, while the iPhone 18 and iPhone 18E will launch in spring 2027. However, according to one of The Information’s sources, Apple may still launch this new iPhone Air as soon as spring 2027.
