Apple reportedly plans to release an iPhone Air 2 despite how poorly the first-generation iPhone Air has sold. The claim comes from Weibo leaker Fixed Focus Digital, who says Apple will produce at least two generations of the ultrathin iPhone.
The first iPhone Air launched in 2025 as Apple’s thinnest phone and had a premium price between the Pro and base series. Reviewers criticized its lackluster battery life and single‑camera setup, while the phone itself sold poorly, leading Apple to slash production.
Rumors about the iPhone Air 2 mainly focus on Apple’s efforts to fix those issues. A November 2025 report from The Information claimed Apple was considering adding a second camera and a more efficient battery to the iPhone Air’s successor, though concrete details haven’t yet surfaced online.
For now, Fixed Focus Digital believes Apple will launch an iPhone Air 2 “no matter how badly it may sell.” That could be in early 2027, when Apple is expected to introduce the iPhone 18 and iPhone 18e.
