Reports indicate a delay in the release of the next generation iPhone Air

It seems that Apple is reviewing the strategy related to the iPhone Air series; A decision that will probably lead to a delay in the release of the next model of this phone. According to a new report from The Information magazine, Apple has reduced the production of the iPhone Air because, contrary to initial expectations, it has not met with widespread acceptance.

In response to initial weak sales, the report claims that Apple may delay the release of the new iPhone Air model to spring 2027 (April 1406), which is the same time as the iPhone 18. This means that in the fall of 2026, only iPhone 18 Pro models and a possible foldable iPhone will be introduced.

Although the report did not specifically mention possible changes to the iPhone Air, speculations include the addition of another rear camera lens or a price cut to be closer to the base iPhone model. Despite the fans’ interest in the first generation of the iPhone Air and the satisfaction of current users, a wave of criticism has formed online, because users do not consider it reasonable to pay more for fewer cameras; Especially when Samsung managed to fit two lenses in the Galaxy Edge model.

In everyday conversations with people who are not very familiar with the world of technology, concerns are mostly focused on durability and battery life, while the current iPhone Air performs well in terms of durability and charging, but still, Apple can emphasize these features in future marketing.

Finally, it seems that the iPhone Air series is not going to be a huge success in the short term, but rather a gradual growth path (perhaps over the next five years). Experience has shown that after using the iPhone Air, users become interested in its design. The main challenge is to get this phone into the hands of more users; A process that will require time and word of mouth advertising. With enough support from Apple, this model can find its place in the market.
