Apple may bring the iPhone Air 2 to market sooner than expected, according to a new report. Earlier rumors suggested the device would be delayed until spring 2027, following underwhelming sales of the original Apple iPhone Air. However, recent leaks hint that the next-generation model could arrive alongside Apple’s fall lineup.
According to the source, the iPhone Air 2 is confirmed for the September 2026 iPhone event. The source also claims the iPhone 17e is progressing smoothly, having entered mass production for a spring launch.
Previously, Apple was expected to announce the iPhone 18 Pro, iPhone 18 Pro Max, and the iPhone Fold in September 2026. Meanwhile, the iPhone Air 2, iPhone 18, and iPhone 17e were reportedly planned for spring 2027. This new leak suggests Apple may be revising its schedule.
The iPhone Air 2 is rumored to feature a dual-rear camera setup, a larger battery, vapor chamber cooling, and a lower price than its predecessor. These upgrades aim to address feedback from the first model and attract more buyers.
With the potential fall debut, the iPhone Air 2 could join Apple’s flagship releases sooner, reshaping expectations for the brand’s 2026 lineup.
