The Information reported that it had received information from an anonymous source involved in the development of the 2026 iPhone Air, which Apple had planned to release in the fall of 2026, that 'Apple has notified engineers and suppliers that it will not disclose the release date of the iPhone Air 2 and will remove it from the release schedule.'
The iPhone Air 2 was originally scheduled to be released around fall 2026, alongside the iPhone 18 series and Apple's first foldable iPhone, the iPhone Fold (tentative name). The iPhone Air 2 was expected to be even lighter than the iPhone Air and have a larger battery capacity.
Apple also appears to be working on incorporating the vapor chamber cooling system first introduced in the iPhone 17 Pro into the iPhone Air 2. Another supply chain leak also suggested that the iPhone Air 2 will feature a dual-lens camera as its main camera.
According to reports, the company has not yet reached the stage of abandoning the iPhone Air 2, and some Apple engineers are still working on it.
However, as mentioned above, Apple has not yet confirmed the release date for the iPhone Air 2, and such a decision is 'rare, though not unprecedented,' The Information reported.
Before its release, there was great anticipation for the slimmest iPhone ever, but in reality, demand was almost zero, and it was reported that Apple was drastically reducing iPhone Air production just one month after its release. Foxconn has reportedly dismantled all but 1.5 iPhone Air production lines and plans to cease all production by the end of November. Luxshare, another production partner for the iPhone Air, also reportedly ceased production of the iPhone Air as of the end of October.
