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

No it isn’t.
Ok I’m sorry. You’re right. It’s selling like hotcakes then.
or maybe there are other reasons people don’t want it. crazy huh.
yeah, like who the fuck wants a phone with 60% battery of what a MUCH cheaper phone has?
jerryrig battle tested that phone, and sure, props to Apple for building it so tough. but nobody cares about a thin unbreakable phone.
