Apple has discontinued nearly all manufacturing of the iPhone Air after the ultra-slim device captured only 3 percent of total iPhone sales during September, according to three people familiar with internal operations. Assembly partner Foxconn will cease its remaining production lines by month's end, while second assembler Luxshare already stopped making the model in October. Suppliers have reduced capacity for the device by more than 80 percent.

The company will not release an iPhone Air 2 alongside the iPhone 18 series in fall 2026 as originally planned, though development work continues on the successor model bearing internal designation V62. Apple allocated just 10 percent of production resources to the Air variant in anticipation of modest demand, but actual sales fell below those conservative projections. Chief Executive Officer Tim Cook declined to address Air sales figures specifically during a recent earnings call, stating only that Apple received positive feedback for its iPhone 17 lineup overall.
