Key Highlights
- If accurate, this would place the iPhone Air 2 firmly back on Apple’s near-term roadmap, despite recent uncertainty around its development timeline.
- The renewed speculation follows two recent reports from The Information that painted a very different picture.
- The first suggested Apple had quietly removed the next-generation Air model from its schedule, without setting a new release window.
- A follow-up report then claimed some engineers were hoping to launch a redesigned version with a second rear camera in spring 2027, alongside the standard iPhone 18 and iPhone 18e models.
- Pushing back against those claims, Fixed Focus Digital stated on Weibo that the iPhone Air’s successor is “confirmed” for a debut at Apple’s next autumn launch event.
