Around the iPhone Air 2 has become increasingly unclear in recent months and it seems that even Apple in this case, it is not playing a completely open game. While some sources claimed that the second generation of this model will not be available until 2027 at the earliest, the Chinese leaker operating under the moniker Fixed Focus Digital makes the opposite claim. According to him, Apple to state iPhone Air 2 this fall.
Leaker on Weibo, he is following up on recent information he shared late last year and is now reinforcing it. According to him, feedback directly from production still suggests that iPhone Air the second generation will arrive together with the iPhones 18 Pro and perhaps even with the long-speculated folding iPhonem. But he also adds that there will be no big surprises. The changes are to be miniThe upgrade is minor and the entire upgrade is intended to feel more like a routine refresh than a full-fledged new generation.

How it all turns out remains open. Fall iPhone launch Air 2 this year cannot be completely ruled out, but previous reports from reputable sources to the Chinese leakerovi are not recording much yet. On the other hand, it is fair to remind you that Fixed Focus Digital has already correctly revealed the name of, for example, iPhone 16e before the official presentation. Apple so maybe he's shuffling the cards again in a way that will only make sense when he officially reveals everything.
