US EditioniPhone Fold and iPhone Air 2: Launch Dates, Prices and Everything We Know
The iPhone Air 2 delay reflects Apple's strategy to focus on engineering and supply chain improvements with a 2-nanometer chip upgrade and an expected 6–8% sales share.
- Next year, Apple will skip including the iPhone Air 2 in its September event, with Bloomberg's Mark Gurman and sources saying it will launch separately in spring 2027.
- Sources claim Apple removed the Air 2 from the September lineup after the original iPhone Air's underwhelming consumer response and a 6-8% sales projection.
- Hardware upgrades under discussion include thermal and battery changes, with Gurman reporting the Air 2 will feature a 2-nanometer chipset replacing the 3-nanometer A19 Pro and rumored vapor chamber and larger battery.
- The move shifts timelines for suppliers and buyers by separating some models from the September launch; Gurman reports the iPhone Air was created largely as a platform to trial engineering and supply-chain changes ahead of future foldables.
- Bloomberg's Mark Gurman reports the iPhone Air naming suggests Apple never intended annual updates, and the line could adopt the Fold's dual rear camera layout with confirmation taking close to 18 months.
