iPhone Air 2: The truth about its "delay"

Technical difficulties? Sluggish sales? It seems that none of these reasons will explain why the second iPhone Air will not be released until 2027.
Several sources recently reported that disappointing sales of the new iPhone Air, Apple's thinnest smartphone, had prompted the manufacturer to delay the release of the second version. Shortly after, another reason surfaced: the technical challenge of implementing a second camera. No delay for the iPhone Air 2, says Mark Gurman of Bloomberg. But according to information gathered by Mark Gurman of Bloomberg from his sources at Apple, the second iPhone Air will not actually be delayed since it is not part of an annual release schedule like the manufacturer's other models. The iPhone Air is thus a unique product (as evidenced by its distinctive design) whose iterations will be released whenever Apple sees fit. This is a perfectly logical policy that could have been anticipated from the device's launch, since it was the only one not to include the number "17" in its name, unlike its counterparts the iPhone 17, iPhone 17 Pro, and Pro Max, which were released at the same time.
