Apple is reportedly working on a second-generation model of its iPhone Air, which will include upgraded hardware, modified internal components, and a revised launch timing.

Apple is reportedly working on its second-generation iPhone Air, featuring upgraded hardware, modified internal components, and a revised launch timing. The reports are coming at a time when major changes are happening inside the company's design organization. A new report says a key member who contributed a lot to the design of the iPhone Air has now left the company. His exit continues a series of changes that have happened within Apple's design team in the past several years, which has been constantly evolving with the development of new products.
Abidur Chaudhuri, who was an industrial designer at Apple and appeared in the iPhone Air launch video, has left the company to join an artificial intelligence startup, according to a Bloomberg report. His departure has been widely discussed within Apple, as he was seen as an increasingly influential member of the design group.
The report stated that Chaudhuri spent more than six years at Apple and played a key role in developing the hardware and overall design direction of the iPhone Air. The report stated that his departure is not related to the phone's launch or initial sales performance, which received mixed reviews despite praise for its design.
