After reports in November suggested Apple had delayed the iPhone Air 2 to spring 2027 due to underwhelming sales of the original model, new rumors indicate the successor may launch sooner than expected. According to tipster Fixed Focus Digital on Weibo, the iPhone Air 2 is confirmed to debut at Apple's fall iPhone event in September 2026.
In addition, the tipster reports that the iPhone 17e is progressing well, with mass production underway and a planned spring launch.
Previous leaks suggested Apple would unveil the iPhone 18 Pro, iPhone 18 Pro Max, and iPhone Fold at the September 2026 event. Meanwhile, the second-generation iPhone Air, the iPhone 18, and the iPhone 17e were expected to launch in spring 2027.
