Update, November 11: The Information now reports that Apple is delaying the iPhone Air 2 in order to “work on a redesign of the device and make it more appealing to consumers.” This reportedly includes adding a second camera.

“Some Apple engineers are hoping to release a redesigned version with a second camera lens in spring 2027 alongside existing plans to release the standard iPhone 18 and iPhone 18e at that time,” the report says. However, it is “still too early to tell” whether that is actually doable.

Apple is reportedly delaying the launch of the iPhone Air 2. The Information reports that Apple recently “notified engineers and suppliers that they were taking the next iPhone Air off the schedule without providing a new release date.” The report cites “three people involved in the project.”

We yesterday took a look at the new Motorola Edge 70, the company’s take on the iPhone Air, and today brings another Android contender, the Huawei Mate 70 Air.

Although 1mm thicker than the iPhone Air and 30% heavier, it does pack four cameras and twice as much battery into an extremely sleek-looking device …

While there is evidence to suggest that the iPhone Air has proven less popular than Apple had hoped, it seems the company hasn’t given up on it yet.

A leaker with a decent track-record says that the company is currently exploring a second-gen iPhone Air with two cameras instead of just one …

The iPhone Air managed to beat the Samsung Galaxy S25 Edge to become the slimmest smartphone on the market, though we noted at the time that it’s not the slimmest smartphone we’ve ever seen.

The latest contender on the Android front is the shiny new Motorola Edge 70, which is very slightly thicker than the iPhone Air, but has a much thinner camera bump and compares well in several other ways …

When Apple first released the iPhone Air last month, it was missing from a key market: China. This was because the iPhone Air is eSIM-only due to its ultra-thin design, and China has strict regulations about eSIM technology.

Today, however, the iPhone Air officially went up for pre-order in China — and indications are it’s a big hit.

According to Aaron Perris, Apple has now rolled out a server-side fix for iPhone 17 and iPhone Air that were unable to download Apple Intelligence models.

This update comes after some iPhone 17 users were completely unable to use Apple Intelligence features since the devices were released almost three weeks ago.

Now that the iPhone 17 is widely available, I’ve seen questions from many people about whether their iPhone 16 cases will fit their new phone. The answer to that question is simple: you’re going to need to invest in new cases for your iPhone 17.

Once upon a time, there was just a single iPhone. Today, things are rather more complicated, with a choice of four new models plus two older ones remaining on sale directly from Apple.

Next year may see the most fragmented iPhone lineup we have ever seen in the company’s history – and that could be bad news for some of us …

I spent quite some time in an Apple store over the weekend, most of it hands-on with the iPhone Air – with the iPhone 17 Pro very much a secondary thing.

My friend Henry Casey at CNN Underscored published his iPhone Air and iPhone 17 Pro Max review this afternoon, and he noticed an odd imaging problem with the camera. Apple says a fix is coming in a future software update.

Every so often, Apple makes a design decision that draws a line in the sand. One that feels like a delineation between one era and the next. The iPhone Air is that kind of device. It’s strikingly thin and sets a new standard for how an iPhone should feel in your hand.

The iPhone Air is also an example of the compromises that come with pushing the design boundaries of a form factor. The question is whether it correctly strikes that balance. I’ve been using the iPhone Air since it was announced last week to find out.

Today is iPhone 17, iPhone 17 Pro, and iPhone Air pre-order day, a day that is always a combination of exciting and stressful for Apple fans.

It’s long been clear that the iPhone Air was going to be a beautiful device, but based on reactions so far, it seems that people are even more impressed than expected by the sleek look of the all-new iPhone.

It’s usually the two Pro models that get all the love, but this year it seems all anyone wants to talk about is the iPhone Air …

Apple just announced its new iPhone lineup, including the iPhone 17 Pro and iPhone Air. I just got out of the Steve Jobs Theater after getting a quick hands-on look at the new devices. Head below for some real-world pictures.
