The iPhone Air flopped hard. Apple apparently plans major changes for a second model to boost its appeal. Reports indicate the iPhone Air 2 will finally get a dual camera system, likely adding an ultra-wide lens, and will launch at a lower price point than the original.
Its release is now delayed until spring 2027. This shift is linked to the production of the new A20 chip, which will use TSMC's advanced 2nm process. The delay helps Apple manage the limited initial supply of this processor.
Apple has always framed the slim iPhone Air as a testbed for new tech, expecting only single digit sales share. The planned upgrades for the sequel suggest that even an experimental product needs more mainstream features to find an audience.
