iPhone Air Sales Are So Bad That Apple's Delaying the Next-Generation Version
www.macrumors.com

The thin, light iPhone Air sold so poorly that Apple has decided to delay the launch of the next-generation iPhone Air that was scheduled to come out alongside the iPhone 18 Pro, reports The Information. Apple initially planned to release a new iPhone Air in fall 2026, but now that's not going to happen.

    Worse camera and battery than the regular iPhone 17 but higher price. I can’t put my finger on why it doesn’t sell…

        Me too buddy, there are dozens of us! Lol. The air happens to fit my needs perfectly. I want a thin and light phone, don’t really use my camera and battery usage is fine. I can totally appreciate if somebody is a heavy user this phone isn’t for them.

        As for the price, yup it’s expensive. Feels like holding a piece of jewellery, and that’s nice.

    Bend gate 2.0 with a crappy battery for too much money.

    Gee, I wonder why they aren’t selling?

      the air stands up to absurdly high bend forces in tests and there was certainly no “bend gate 2.0”

        That may be so, but perception is reality. Nobody trusts it. The first thing everyone thinks is “that’s going to bend”. It doesn’t need to be true to sway people’s purchase.

            Ok I’m sorry. You’re right. It’s selling like hotcakes then.

    The price is off. It’s more expensive than the base model but with worse specs. If someone is willing to pay more, they’ll get the pro, not the air.

    A thin phone is kinda cool, who actually needs that? And because of the humongous camera bulge it’s not that thin anyway.

      Apple offers 7 years of of ios updates, how about a battery large enough that it is still usable after a few years of use.

      Plus, once you put a case on, it becomes thick again!

      Apple needs it. So people break their devices even easier and have to spend more money.

    You mean a bad economy and poor pay for the average worker compounds into a worse economy?
