“Apple Reportedly Delays iPhone Air to 2027, Plans Dual-Camera Upgrade After Lukewarm Demand” 🚨🚨🚨

Apple (AAPL $274.45, +1.86%) is reportedly pushing back the release of its next iPhone Air model to spring 2027, a delay from the original fall 2026 timeline, as the company considers a major redesign — including the addition of a second rear camera lens, according to The Information.

The move marks a rare shift in Apple’s release strategy, reflecting weaker-than-expected consumer interest in the company’s thinnest and lightest iPhone to date. The current iPhone Air, marketed as a sleek alternative to the standard and Pro models, has struggled to gain traction since launch.

Analysts and consumers have cited the Air’s single-camera system and shorter battery life as key drawbacks, especially compared to the performance and features of Apple’s flagship iPhone Pro line. That lukewarm reception reportedly forced Apple to scale back production of the Air model significantly in recent months.

By reworking the device’s camera and potentially upgrading its internal components, Apple appears to be repositioning the Air as more than just a “thin” iPhone — perhaps aiming to bridge the gap between the base and Pro tiers.

If confirmed, the delay means the iPhone Air could skip the 2026 product cycle entirely — giving Apple extra time to refine the model and re-ignite consumer excitement in an increasingly saturated smartphone market.
