Overview
- The Information, citing three unnamed insiders, reports Apple told internal teams the iPhone Air 2 is off the original 2026 schedule.
- Production of the current iPhone Air has been sharply cut, with Foxconn down to one and a half lines slated to close by late November and Luxshare said to have stopped in October.
- Apple has not commented on the reported changes, which follow signs of weak uptake as the Air remained readily available while other iPhone 17 models faced long wait times.
- Analyst Ming‑Chi Kuo previously estimated suppliers reduced iPhone Air output by about 80 percent shortly after launch.
- A successor under the internal codename V62 is reportedly still in development, though its release timeframe and viability remain unclear.
