The iPhone Air Is Failing… Here’s Why

Video Description

Is the iPhone Air a flop? According to analyst Ming-Chi Kuo, Apple’s newest thin and light iPhone has failed to meet expectations — with supply chain reports showing production being scaled back by over 80% heading into early 2026. In this video, I break down what went wrong with the iPhone Air — from pricing and design trade-offs to Apple’s ongoing struggle to fill that “fourth iPhone slot” in its lineup. Despite the sales data, I’ll also explain why I personally love this phone and why I still think it’s one of Apple’s best designs in years. We’ll also talk about what this could mean for Apple’s foldable iPhone plans, and how this mirrors Samsung’s own struggles with ultra-thin flagships like the Galaxy S25 Edge.
