Since the launch, rumours about its successor have surfaced.
The next model is expected to be called iPhone Air 2.
Apple is reportedly redesigning the device.
According to a report, demand for the first iPhone Air was weak.
This has prompted Apple to rethink the product.
The redesign could help boost sales.
The Information reports that Apple is developing the iPhone Air 2.
The phone may feature a dual rear camera setup.
