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.
I want that too but just make it smaller. I don’t want a giant screen burning through battery and just thinner by taking away battery. Work on x and y first, then maybe z.
It’s much lighter both in my pocket and my hands. It feels much less obtrusive in a pocket overall despite the bump, which when holding it one-handed can sometimes even be an affordance that keeps it from slipping.
the vast majority of people put cases around their phones which eliminates the camera protrusion. If you do use a case with an Air, it’ll still be thinner than the other iphone options.
I actually really liked it when I tried, so I got one. I realized that I do want a phone that makes its presence more lightly known.

yiss. bring back the mini.
The battery life is a non issue for me so far.
honestly though how much battery do you need on an average day?
With how much we depend on the phone for everything, I need a phone that covers 99% of the days, not just the average.
For being in the office working, 90 min of active usage gets me to the next charger.
What about going it’s out with the family, taking lots of photos and videos, using the maps+GPS…?
Also, battery degrades. One that barely covers today will be lacking in 1.5 years. Small battery is a form of planned obsolesce.
I’m genuinely curious. How does this fit your normal usage? Does the bulk under the camera not negate the thin body?
I guess, could you just expand on your thought.
