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.
Please don’t lie. Your message directly implies that the new phone bends like the 6. If you were referencing small phones you would have brought up the mini.
@Yesbutnotreally Those flimsy ass phones were insane, a far bigger Jonny Ive controversy than the thin ass MacBooks. They’d bend from putting them in your jeans pocket!
BRING BACK MINI!
Customers: We want a smaller phone!
Apple: *Makes iPhone Air
Customers: Not like that!
I want one the size of an ipod mini as a secondary phone.
They learned nothing from bend-gate on the 6
You’re spreading false information. The air doesn’t bend
Nu-uh, there’s literally like 8 seasons worth of a docuseries on Nickelodeon about airbending!
I’m not spreading any information, I’m complaining about them releasing a thin phone when I want a small phone.

Ars says no bendgate with the Air. Different design. Thin part is just battery and reinforced housing.

It might have UX problems at this point? Maybe that’s why they’re hesitant.
